For My Friends of Song
Release date: January 1, 1977
Betty Smith learned from the great ballad singers of North Carolina. In “For My Friends of Song,” she presents Appalachian dulcimer, soft ballads, delicate picking patterns, guitar and banjo harmonies, and beautiful old songs. John McCutcheon, Jack Wright and Grey Larsen — who all appear on other albums in the June Appal Recordings catalogue — accompany on the record.
Betty presents her music … like laying down a newborn baby on a feather bed: totally consumed by it and still compeltely in awe of. it. … Considerable talent. John McCutcheon
