Benjamin Filene wrote of their work in his book Romancing the Folk: Public Memory & American Roots Music:  “Over the next decade, John Sr. [John A. Lomax] and Alan [Lomax] would travel tens of thousands of miles and make thousands of recordings.  They did so not with the detachment of academics but with the zeal of proselytizers.”
