HOLLER IN THE HOLLER LP

Arhoolie was a record label founded by Polish immigrant, Chris Strachwitz. Strachwitz was fascinated by the varying cultures and their music throughout the United States. He travelled and archived all types of native blues and folk. The Arhoolie collection was archived by Smithsonian Folkways. This double gatefold LP is a collection of traditional Appalachian folk music. Isolated by mountains and valleys, the people of Appalachia developed their own culture and music. This design communicates the idea that the musicians' heads were in the outside world, seeking to deliver their music to the rest of the world, but at the same time their hearts were always at home in Appalachia.
