"Cobb's study aims at a comprehensive presentation of the contents, history, and use of The Sacred Harp . He slights no aspect of the book and in many areas makes contributions that are fresh and important. . . . One of the few authoritative studies of a southern vernacular institution."-- Journal of Southern History, "This volume studies a southern musical tradition less well known than jazz but equally important, and emphasizes that [Sacred Harp] represents a social experience as well as a musical one for its participants."-- Alabama Review, "This volume studies a southern musical tradition less well known than jazz but equally important, and emphasizes that [Sacred Harp] represents a social experience as well as a musical one for its participants."--Alabama Review, "Cobb's study aims at a comprehensive presentation of the contents, history, and use ofThe Sacred Harp. He slights no aspect of the book and in many areas makes contributions that are fresh and important. . . . One of the few authoritative studies of a southern vernacular institution."--Journal of Southern History, An 'inside' history of the movement . . . Cobb describes in detail the tradition as a whole, its music, its early history, the editions of The Sacred Harp , and the rise and decline of the big singing conventions., "To Buell Cobb and the University of Georgia Press goes the gratitude of fasola singers throughout the nation for their printing of this significant volume."-- Southwestern Journal of Theology, "Cobb presents a thoroughly researched 'inside' view of the performance practice and cultural context of Sacred Harp folk. The media that severed Americans from oral tradition and developed a national culture at the expense of indigenous local practice has induced a rootless and nostalgia-seeking generation to return 'home' to warm themselves in the glow of traditional community singing."--American Music, "To Buell Cobb and the University of Georgia Press goes the gratitude of fasola singers throughout the nation for their printing of this significant volume."--Southwestern Journal of Theology, "[A] definitive history . . . Buell Cobb is an authority on Sacred Harp and an enthusiastic member of the singing community."--Southern Living, "This volume studies a southern musical tradition less well known than jazz but equally important, and emphasizes that [Sacred Harp represents a social experience as well as a musical one for its participants."-- Alabama Review, "An ‘inside' history of the movement . . .

Buell Cobb is an authority on Sacred Harp and an enthusiastic member of the singing community."-- Southern Living, "Never again should we allow to stand uncorrected the statement that jazz is the only truly indigenous American music."-- Chattanooga Times, "An 'inside' history of the movement . . . Cobb describes in detail the tradition as a whole, its music, its early history, the editions of The Sacred Harp , and the rise and decline of the big singing conventions."-- American Historical Review, "Never again should we allow to stand uncorrected the statement that jazz is the only truly indigenous American music."--Chattanooga Times, "Cobb presents a thoroughly researched 'inside' view of the performance practice and cultural context of Sacred Harp folk.

We are, perhaps, past the time when we can give Sacred Harp singing the recognition it deserves. Cobb has adequately preserved much of the meaning of that music in the lives of those who sang it."--Ethnomusicology, "An 'inside' history of the movement . . .
