Critics Praise Folk Album Recorded By Murphy Lass By Louise Bsyless MURPHY ? Hedy West, tinging songs passed down by fenerations of mountain folk. Is ecclaimed nationally and internationally by critics and music lovers. Hedy West's great-grand mother was born In Blalrs vllle. Union County, Georgia, about fifteen miles from Mur phy, beck when It was little more then s wagonroad cros sing 9I muddy ruts. Her grsncbnother now lives on Lower Young Cane, In the Noda Dam area. Both of these ancestors, and others who came from Western North Carolina and Gilmer County, Georgia at Ellijay, were singers of the old songs. They sang, as mountain folk still do, for pleasure, or be cause they are lonesome, or to ease a hurt. Sometimes It may be for entertainment of family, friends, or neighbors. In any event they were, and are, songs of beauty that carry Inspirational melodies. Our mountain fingers, fid dlers and banjo pickers still have appreciative local aud iences even if limited in numbers. This Is verified each year ?t the Georgia Mountain Fair at Hlawassee.Butnow and then an authentic mountain folk singer breaks loose and car ries the old songs to wide audiences far beyond our hills. Hedy West is one. She Is a 19SS graduate of Murphy High School, valedictorian of her class, and attended Western Carolina College. After get ting her degree she went on id attend Columbia Lhlverslty, New York. Her mother, Mrs. Constance West, was on die faculty of the Murphy City Schools for several years. In an album recently pub lished by the Vanguard Re cording Society of New York, Hedy gives a varied sampling of the beauty to be found in genuine folk songs. Nearly all of her selections in this album are from West ern North Carolina and North Georgia. She learned them from her grandmother, her Uncle Gus Mulkey at Jasper, from old folks around Ellljay, from Tom Fortenberry of Owltown in Union County and other mountain singers. No place In this country affords a richer source of authentic folk songs than the Appalachian Mountain South. And no part of this area has better materials than the Western Carolina mountains. It Is a> this source that Hedy West has gone for both her song*, and Inspiration. Accompanying herself In a superhly accomplished atyle on the five-string banjo, she render* (he old songs In the spirit and one your grand parents may have sung or lis tened K>. A highly trained profes sional musician. Hedy goes id the root source for her songs; and she breathes s fresh breath of living Into these old songs, giving them genuine meaning and wife appeal. Her singing hss aroused nation wide and enthusiastic critic and audience response. Thus Hedy West takes the feeling thoughts of our old folk songs to wider and great er audiences. One radio station In Western Australia gave a full hour program to playing her songs. For several months Hedy has been singing in California. She has now returned to New York via Sun Valley, Idaho, and other centers, where she will make another Vanguard record and sing In eastern cities for a while. She Is an accomplished flut ist, pianist, and orchestrator. She also composes music and has recently finished the musical arrangements for a book of folk songs for the noted authority and collector, Alan Lomax. She has also just about com pleted a book of her own, deal ing with the folk lore and folk song background of Western North Carolina and North Georgia. A young lady in her early twenties, Hedy is a serious student of her subject. In a recent review of her current album, die Denver (Colorado) Post music critic wrote: "A treasure for the col lectors of the authentic style is the latest recording from Vanguard, "Hedy West*. This young lady came from a long line of folk singers and sings in the style of the mountain people who preserved the songs they brought with them from England. "Hedy West accompanies herself on the five -string banjo In a program of con siderable variety. . ."Miss West is an extremely talent ed young lady and if you are among those who value authen tic, folk style material, this recording should be very pleasing." Another critic response, typical of others, came from the critic of the Gazette -Mall (Charleston, W. Va.), who wrote under the heading 'Real Folk Music': "An Appalachian girl from North Georgia and Western North Carolina has absorbed enough a i the outside world ?> become s professional musician. At the same time she has genuine roots among dte folks. "That combination makes for superior folk music . . . Her family was among the early settlers of the Appalach ians and she is heir to an oral folk tradition passed from generation K> generation. "Besides that she has a splendid voice with which ?> sing folk songs. The result is that her record is delightful and without the dishonest pretensions of much contem porary folk music. About a poem the late Rob ert Frost wrote: "It begins in delight and ends in wisdom." Poet Frost also wrote: "No tears in the writ er, no tears in the reader,". This applies as well to music and song. Cherokee Scout & Clay County Progress, Thurs., Oct. 3, 1963 ' Dexter Dean Honored On Third Birthday MURPHY - Mr*. June* D.
