Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most remarkable figures of the twentieth century, Alan  Lomax was best known for bringing legendary musicians like Woody  Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Muddy Waters, Lead Belly, and Burl Ives to the  radio and introducing folk music to a mass audience. Now John Szwed,  the acclaimed biographer of Miles Davis and Sun Ra, presents the first  biography of Lomax, a man who was as influential as he was  controversial-trailed for years by the FBI, criticized for his folk- song-collecting practices, denounced by some as a purist and by others  as a popularizer. This authoritative work reveals how Lomax changed not  only the way everyone in the country heard music but also the way they  viewed America itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380362674431,"sku":"9780143120735","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143120735_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307736","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780143120735","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
