- Alan Lomax interviewed by Charles Kuralt at Lomax's Hunter College office, New York City, 1991. Part one of four. An edited portion of this interview appeared in a CBS Sunday Morning segment on Lomax later that year.
in many ways the most important figure in music history
Great man. He has saved music from fading away. The world is a better place because of it.
The world owes this guy more than could ever be paid...........
I'd imagine that Mr. Lomax would be happy with the flowering of TH-cam and the internet giving folks an outlet to express themselves.
I was reading Chris Kings book and it royally ticked me off. He craps all over Allen. And I don't know why because if it wasn't for Allen, none of these artists would have gotten big and we wouldn't know about them. But in Kings book he tries to spread the narrative that the blues came from Louisiana but he never offers any evidence to back it up.
I got his autograph on "Land Where the Blues Began" years ago. What a neat life and good man. Beautiful.
The blues don't have a color line. The British saw this and Elvis.
His dad found the mighty Leadbelly.
What a fantastic legacy to leave the world. Alan Lomax, genius. I get huge enjoyment from his work. No only an anthropologist, but also a philosopher

Love hearing these stories and him sing! Great voice, wow! Thanks for releasing this interview. I've spent a lot years collecting interviews and footage of Bachata musicians and dancers in the Dominican Republic and its very inspirational to hear from Alan Lomax. "This is the best music"
This world needs more people like Alan Lomax. Thank you so much for preserving our music. Music is Life. ♥
Thank you to Lomax for keeping the flame of the peoples' music alive!
Alan was a beautiful person my grandfather was a folk singer and so u am today. Keep folk culture alive people!
WOWZA. Honestly with how streaming has consolidated in the last several years, I'm really feeling his words being relevent again. The current decline and loss of voice although it's in a totally new way. Its really incredible seeing someone so aware of the issue that no one was willing to listen to. It's gotten bigger and life found a way to fight it, but now that's being gobbled up before our eyes. It is easier than ever to get content out, but there's so much it's too easy to be drown out by anyone besides the cooperate voices. It's also interesting looking at how he talks about issues and how it's changed in 2 decades.
This is wonderful. I interviewed for a job with Mr Lomax. I gave never forgotten my time with him.
Man the contrast of his grandmas lullaby and when he sings blues is crazy. Very clear where his passion was
Amazing man his care to preserve cultures and their music is just amazing. I couldn't help but notice when he talks he sounds like he's singing.
cool guy. can sing too!
Que hombre y vida linda, interesante y fructífera.
