Spirituals with Dock Reed and Vera Hall Ward

Vera Hall and Dock Reed
Spirituals with Dock Reed and Vera Hall Ward

Alabama farm worker Dock Reed and his cousin Vera Hall Ward were both recorded by Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress. Dock, by all accounts, was a deeply religious man who never sang secular music, while Vera was known to perform a few of these "sinful" songs.
