Where it came from
Released in 1986 to commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the Kerrville Folk Festival, this compilation serves as a sonic archive of one of America's most enduring singer-songwriter gatherings. Founded by Rod Kennedy in 1972 on a ranch in the Texas Hill Country, the festival became a vital hub for folk music, fostering a communal atmosphere that encouraged original songwriting and collaboration. This record was produced to encapsulate the spirit of those early years, documenting the diverse range of artists who found a creative home in the quiet fields of Kerrville.
The album, subtitled Roger Allen’s Portrait in Sound, highlights the curated aesthetic of the festival's long-time stage manager and audio archivist. The design and selection reflect a grassroots ethos, prioritizing raw acoustic performance over high-production polish to mirror the intimate nature of the festival's nightly campfire song circles. Upon its release, it was received primarily as a collector's document for festival attendees, helping to cement the legacy of the Kerrville scene and provide a permanent record of the communal folk movement that defined the festival's formative decade and a half.
