This ToneWay Project songbook offers 168 gospel songs, a hefty supply of commonly-played, traditional Gospel 'people music'. Each song is annotated with key-independent chord changes (a.k.a. Nashville number system), 'jammability', and tonal information useful for playing by ear and for singing lead and harmony. The 'people music' being played today, otherwise known as bluegrass or mountain music, evolved out of a unique blend of many styles of music, coalescing in 19th-century Appalachia. Vigorous Anglo-American mountain music, old English ballads, Afro-American Gospel music, and many other traditions all contributed to the growth of the music. Like its cousins, Native American and African music, it is rooted in a driving, primal rhythm, and it lives and breathes in its SOCIAL experience! For more information, go to ToneWay.com
