Jean Ritchie Biography
A key figure in the 1950s folk revival, Artist is a one-woman treasure trove of near-forgotten American folk songs, most of which she learned as a child growing up in a rural corner of the Appalachian Mountains. Born on December 8, 1922, and raised in a family of singers, Ritchie moved from Kentucky to New York City in the mid-1940s after attending college, and became a coffeehouse folksinger at night and a social worker by day. Along with her sporadic but deeply rewarding recording career, Artist is best known as a tireless archivist of the Appalachian folk tradition.
