This photograph of musician Sam Ballard is one
of 400 snapshot images made in the course of
sound recording expeditions carried out by John
Avery Lomax, his wife, Ruby Terrill Lomax, and
their son, Alan Lomax between 1934 and 1950
for the Archive of American Folk-Song. The
photographs comprise the Lomax Collection in
the Library of Congress, which depicts African
American, Mexican American, and white
musicians, singers and dancers, primarily in the
southern United States (Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia) and the
Bahamas (Nassau, Andros Island, and Cat
Island). In addition to posed portraits, images
in the Collection show musicians performing in
various settings: at home, in concert, and while
performing prison labor outdoors.
With their recording expeditions, the Lomaxes
were instrumental (no pun intended—really!)
in preserving American folk music and blues
traditions.
