These concert arrangements of American Folksongs are exactly what I need for more formal gigs or recitals requiring a refined touch. Richard Walters delivers beautiful, expressive settings for high voice and piano. While not typical leadsheets for casual requests, they're perfect for showcasing a vocalist's artistry at an event where a more classical interpretation of folk music is desired.
