The Ritchie Family of Kentucky

Jean Ritchie, The Ritchie Family
The Ritchie Family of Kentucky Inspired to share her musical life at home with audiences beyond the kitchen door, Jean Ritchie compiled this album of songs and stories from her family. Unlike studio recordings, this collection places each song in its social context, and Ritchie's extensive notes and interview transcriptions are both informative and entertaining.
