This allows you to play the song at any level of complexity you like, up to Norman's own, without requiring of you the ability to read standard musical notation.The spiral binding allows the book to lie flat when open, making it physically very easy to use.Throughout there are photos of Norman, Nancy and friends, making the book an aesthetic delight.The pieces transcribed include a selection from throughout Blake's career, and both songs and instrumental pieces. They are: '76 Blues (+2); Back in Yonder's World; Billy Grey; Blake's Railroad Blues; Charlie Gaither; Chattanooga Rag; Chattanooga Sugar Babe; Church Street Blues; Crossing No. 9; Down At Milo's House; Ginsing Sullivan; Green Light On The Southern; Greycoat Soldiers; The Highland Light; In The Spring Of The Year; Jimmy, John and James; Lincoln's Funeral Train (The Sad Journey To Springfield); Lonesome Jenny; Macon Rag; My Old Home On The Green Mountain Side; Ol' Bill Miner (The Gentleman Bandit); Old Ghost's Cry; Old Time Farmer; On And On And On; Paramount Rag; The Railroad Days; Randall Collins; Ridge Road Gravel; Savannah Rag; Slow Train Through Georgia; Southern Railroad Blues; Uncle Sam; The Weathered Old Caboose Behind The Train; We're Living In The Future; Whiskey Deaf and Whiskey Blind; Last Train From Poor Valley; Uncle; Tin Foil And Stone.Enjoy. ### ⭐⭐⭐ No, really--melody lines ONLY *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2008* Yes, I read the description. I consider myself a mediocre-at-best guitarist, with almost no flatpicking ability, so I was hoping this would be a little push in the right direction. This says "intermediate level" but as long as you can read tab, you should be able to handle this.Melody lines *only* don't tell you much that you couldn't figure out on your own, even if you're pretty novice. Melody lines aren't even that interesting: Really, would you rather have just the melody as Blake sings it or would you rather have some pointers on his ornamentation? Even just a few pointers? (Why would you want to sing it *exactly* as he does, anyway? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of this kind of music?)I'm still glad I got it, but I'm not blown away.Oh, and mine DOES NOT have a spiral binding, which is a royal pain in the neck. Music books and cookbooks should ALWAYS have spiral bindings so they lie open on their own. ### ⭐⭐⭐ a handy resource for the Norman Blake fan *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014* I tend to grab books and DVDs by or about artists like Norman as a matter of principle, assuming that there may not be a lot of commercial appeal and they'll eventually go out of print. A little grim, but based on experience. So, as a Norman Blake fan, I didn't want to pass this book up. It's a good book, full of Norman's original songs, music and lyrics. As a guitarist, I wish it included his solos and instrumental pieces, but it doesn't. I'm happy to have it in my library of music, but I'm still waiting for someone to publish a book of his solos and a breakdown of his playing style! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5543722-the-norman-blake-anthology-deluxe-edition-of-original-songs-tunes](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5543722-the-norman-blake-anthology-deluxe-edition-of-original-songs-tunes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
