Dillard Chandler: The End of an Old Song

Dillard Chandler FW02418 / FA 2418

In his introduction to the original liner notes, John Cohen writes, "With Dillard Chandler, the ballads are not just a preservation of something that is passing. They are his connection to the world as he grew up in it. They are not merely stories which he passes on, but contain moral and amour-al positions by which he lives. In this sense they become his definition of himself."
