A Little About This Song…

No tune says “The Appalachians” quite like Little Rosewood Casket. It has a distinct Southern feel that seems right at home accompanied by a dulcimer, an autoharp, or any acoustic instrument at hand. The song was originally titled “Package of Old Letters”, first published in 1870 by L.P. Goullaud and C.A. White, as arranged by C. E. Pratt. Be on the lookout for great recordings by Dolly Parton and Jean Ritchie.
