"The Legendary Slim Richey Bluegrass Word Books

                

You've heard about them, probably even seen one in your travels and you've very likely heard some of the stories surrounding their origination, but they remain a great source for developing a Bluegrass repertoire you'll never have to apologize for. The original volume contains lyrics for 294 Bluegrass nuggets. Volume 2 adds lyrics to another 300 songs. Many of them (but not all of them) include chord progressions. So if the song you've been looking for lies somewhere between "A Gift of Love" and "You're the Best of All Leading Brands", these books are for you"

$ 6.95 per volume, $12.00 for both


The Bluegrass Fakebook is a must for any fan, picker or singer of Bluegrass music. It includes Lyrics, Melody Line & Chord Progressions for 150 All-Time Favorite tunes including 50 Gospel songs. Lyrics are printed in Large, Easy-To-Read type and chord charts for Guitar, Banjo & Mandolin are included. We can't seem to have enough of these in stock.

Our price is only $19.95. 

Just a few titles included are "Amazing Grace", "Banks of the Ohio", "Cripple Creek", "Dancin' With the Angels", "Footprints in the Snow", "Good Woman's Love", "I'll Fly Away", "Life is Like a Mountain Railway", "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Old Joe Clark", "Rank Strangers to Me", "Rocky Top", "Satan's Jewel Crown", "There's More Pretty Girls Than One", "Wabash Cannonball" and many, many more. Every song in the book is a jam standard.


RISE UP SINGING, The Group Singing Songbook
conceived, developed and edited by Peter Blood and Annie Patterson

You simply can't do without this one, if you love folk music.  It will become dog-eared, full of yellow sticky notes, and the most used music book you'll own.  In fact, if you like to sing in groups, you should have several.  Comes in either spiral binding for easy opening, or in a paperback form.  (Spiral is best for people who don't want to hold it open, like guitar players.  It will open flat and sit nicely on a music stand.)  

Our price $22.95 for the regular sized version.  A larger version for failing eyesight is also available for $29.95.

This comprehensive collection contains words and guitar chords to nearly 1200 songs arranged in a compact, easy-to-use format. You won't find such an array of songs anywhere else:

  • "Folk Revival" favorites by Baez, Seeger, Collins, Peter, Paul & Mary, Dylan, Mitchell, Taylor, Donovan & more
  • Contemporary folk songs from Near, Staines, Williamson, Rogers, Bok & many more
  • Broadway show tunes, Beatles' songs, Motown hits
  • Hymns, spirituals and gospel standards
  • Songs about peace, freedom, labor and the environment
  • Ballads, cowboy songs, chanteys and blues

"At Homestead Pickin' Parlor, meeting the musical needs of acoustic music
fans has never been an afterthought. It has always been our only thought."
