Abstract: Gordon and Nemerov contend that Lomax sought out vestiges of old-fashioned African American culture and turned away from documenting the full complexity of the contemporary Delta. [...] in The Land Where the Blues Began, Lomax laments that gospel music "threat- ens the continuance of the finest song genre of this and perhaps any continent, namely the black spiritual" (p. 48).
