The Queen family - Appalachian tradition & back porch music (32 min.) -- Ballad of Mary Jane Queen (12 min.) -- The Queen family mountain music (26 min.) -- Outtakes (10 min.).
"The mountains of Appalachia are home to a folk music tradition that traces its roots to England, Scotland, and Ireland. Picking up the African banjo and other influences in its evolution, this tradition gave rise to gospel, bluegrass and country music. ... the Queen family of Western North Carolina have come to represent Southern Appalachian heritage and a way of life that's passing, but not yet gone"--Container.
