Description

A previously unreleased album from the late Hedy West - one of the finest folk singers of her generation. 'From Granmaw and Me' draws upon material learned from Hedy's maternal Grandmother - Lillie West - songs that had migrated from Britain to the USA during the 17th and 19th centuries. American singer-songwriter Hedy West belonged to the same generation of folk revivalists as Joan Baez and Judy Collins. Her most famous song "500 Miles" is one of America's most popular folk songs. She was described by the English folk musician A. L. Lloyd as "far and away the best of American girl singers in the [folk] revival." Hedy West played the guitar and the banjo. She played both clawhammer style and a unique type of three-finger picking that exhibited influences outside of bluegrass and old-time, such as blues and jazz.
