Appalachian ballads are among the oldest living documents in American music — songs carried across oceans, reshaped by mountain hollows, and passed down on front porches for generations. In this one-hour presentation, roots musicologist and host of the music history podcast American Songcatcher Nicholas Edward Williams traces the origins, migrations, and enduring power of the Appalachian ballad tradition. Drawing on field recordings, historical scholarship, and live musical illustration, Williams explores how these songs survived — and what they still have to tell us.
