Rosalie Sorrels

Rosalie Sorrels is really a collector and performer of traditional American folk music, however in all her music, traditional and primary, there’s a deeply personal vein. Sorrels’ music is approximately loss and success. When she was 16, she acquired an unlawful abortion; when she was 17, she quit a kid for adoption. She wedded and acquired five children, still left her hubby, and struggled to improve her family by itself, and then noticed her eldest kid take his very own lifestyle. Finally, she experienced a cerebral aneurysm in 1988. Through all her struggling, Sorrels has discovered solace in her capability to make music, an capability which has enraptured viewers for a long time. Sorrels’ musical profession started in the 1950s, when, as a means of alleviating the tedium of local life, she had taken a course on American folk music while surviving in Sodium Lake City. Work with that class led to her first record, Folk Music of Utah & Idaho. Her albums since that time have been a variety of traditional and primary material; generally sung with great interest and personal sense, they will have become more and more autobiographical.
