by Wayne Erbsen

This handsome five-part series is based on Wayne Erbsen's recording, Southern Mountain Classics. Each book has song histories, vintage photos, plus beginning, intermediate and advanced arrangements of the 16 tunes found on the recording. To get the most out of any of the Southern Mountain books, we strongly recommending getting the Southern Mountain Classics recording.
