Mountain ballads have been a part of American mountain culture since the earliest English and Scottish settlers moved there more than 200 years ago. They were passed down through the oral tradition, but that tradition is close to extinct in the U.S. Fortunately, young generations have found new ways to learn the centuries-old ballads of their ancestors.
