COUNTRY CHARACTERS

Granted, these recordings of tales (both familiar and unfamiliar) told by Jackie Torrence may not be as mesmerizing as hearing her in person . . . but almost. She extracts every ounce of sly humor and sinister nuance from each clearly articulated sentence. Veteran storytellers may grumble at her choice of variants for some favorites, but she gives her reasons in notes to each story. Also included: telling times for each.
