Appalachia's Ballad Singing Tradition
Ballad singing is one of the purest forms of old-time mountain music, featuring only a singer's voice and the story they have to tell. Eight-generation ballad singer, Donna Ray Norton, and Grammy-winning artist David Holt provide a brief history of this traditional style of music, and how it continues to this day in Asheville, North Carolina.
