David Harker / Published 1985

Amazon (USA)

Fakesong - manufactured folksong - is David Harker's name for that type of song which sounds like folksong, but isn't.

This book traces the history of fakesong - and with it the history of folksong - from its very earliest beginnings in the Industrial Revolution (itself a folk revolution) to the present day.
