This book continues Odum's interest, demonstrated in a minor way in the above work, in the folk songs and oral history of Southern African-Americans. Odum and Johnson present lyrics divided by category, including 'blues', 'chain gang', 'bad man ballads', 'minstrel' and 'religious'. The 'typical tunes' are printed towards the end, including using 'phono-photographic records' to document the yodel and use of vibrato, which implies that Odum and Johnson used recording equipment.
