Like Cords Around My Heart is a sharply observed account of many high points along the wandering personal journey that followed. If Sacred Harp once seemed a dying tradition in the Deep South, it now is experiencing a growth spurt across the entire U.S. and many other parts of the globe. This entertaining memoir, by a writer with a distinctive narrative voice, includes affectionate portraits of some of the key figures from the last half-century in this vibrant, now resurgent tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67943155499231,"sku":"9781478704621","price":40.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/0IXEa6w6BF9781478704621.webp?v=1791460247"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/buell-cobb.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
