Not large print, just heavy and poorly layed out

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I knew when I ordered it there was no music and it was only lyrics. However, it did say "larger print" and "leader's edition" so I thought the oversized version would actually have print that was large and maybe some notes. Nope, same small print as the companion book, just songs illogically spilled onto larger format pages (more songs per page is not an improvement!). The credits and musical ownership print is in teeny tiny print but somehow manages to still take up a lot of space. The graphic artist must have been paid by how many fonts and font sizes they could use on each page. This isn't at all user friendly. I want to send it back but I need it for a local singing group.

Great Resource for Acoustic Music Jam Attendees

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

What a wonderful resource! Lyrics and chords to 1,200 songs. I have a mountain of music and books and homemade notebooks --and now digital pages, too-- that together don't have as many favorite, familiar tunes. Cuts way down on what I have to haul and makes things much easier to find. This has everything from spirituals to Broadway tunes, all grouped by themes. As you can see from the preview material this isn't exactly a fakebook; some reviewers have said the musical notation, such as it is, is indecipherable. The introductory material explains it quite clearly and I have no trouble following it, although it might be challenging for novice players. Note to ukulele players: The keys chosen work well on guitar (tuned to key of E so lots of Es and Ebs and whatnot), not always so easy for uke players. I do find myself transposing on the fly quite a bit, so if you don't already have that skill it might be worth developing. Easy enough with this book since they tend to keep the musical arrangements clean and simple. This is a fabulous resource and well worth the under-$20 price.

The Hippie Sing a Long Song Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

This copy I bought for my daughter. I already have a copy of what our family lovingly calls the "Hippie sing a long song book".
I just read some of the negative reviews and got a good laugh.
This songbook (and the others in this series) are not like an old hymnal with sheet music. It's basically just the words to the song and some guitar chords. Sometimes the basic melody is written out on a music staff (rarely). Most of the time, these are songs that you know, or maybe remember from childhood music classes -- traditional songs, folk music, etc.
It's a great resource!

The sound of Home...

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

Great collection of songs and amazing art work is just a treasure for the ages. The larger print and spiral spine encourage use and enjoyability. The true sound of home with lyrics and credits fills in those details to that heart song you find yourself signing and not remembering the words. Timeless treasure...great for sharing!

Lyrics, yes, chords, not so much

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've owned a few of these books and worn them out or lent them to the untrustworthy. No better book for the lyrics to many great folk and popular songs. But the chord suggestions are, for the most part, inaccurate--wrong keys, too abbreviated, oversimplified. To take a single example: listen to Hedy West's great tune "500 Miles" and then try to play the song using the SO's chords (page 232). Or, on the same page, Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain." Also, the Songbook acts as if all songs are in 4/4 time but the brisk chord charts offer no help with tempos at all.

By all means buy this book if you love to play and sing, but for the chords check out one of the many on-line sources for accurate chord and melody charts (I recommend Ultimate Guitar).

Glad I bought it

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have heard about this book for a long time, but never considered purchasing it. Recently decided to just do it, and I’m glad I did. There are so many wonderful songs in here, songs that I’ve heard people do in concert and in jam sessions, and I would occasionally look them up online, but it’s nice to have so many all in one place. I’ve got the smaller print edition, So I don’t expect to use this on a music stand as I’m performing, what i usually do is print out keywords to remind me of each verse, and have them discreetly in my line of sight as I am performing.
What’s also nice is to find songs that are considered “Pop“ like “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face”... and Gems like “Amelia Earhart’s last flight”

Best Single Source for Classic Folk Songs

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is the best single source for most classic folk songs. Other reviewers have complained about the system used to show guitar chords, and I agree that it can be a little confusing. However, the more-traditional method of displaying chords in a line above each line of lyrics would have taken up far more room. The result would be a book too thick to be usable, or a book with far fewer songs. If you know the tune, it only takes a little bit of trial and error to get the chords right. As noted by a few reviewers, some of the chords seem incorrect, and that is indeed the case for a small number of songs. I needed to replace my old worn-out copy of this book and ordered the "Large Print Leader's Edition", which was just the ticket for my aging eyes!

Great Book for Singing

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love this book! I had one many years ago and lost it. Recently, I've been playing piano, mostly by ear and was missing my old book. I was very happy to be able to buy it here. My only complaint is it took much longer (weeks) than most Amazon items do to get to me. I also have the sequel book called Rise Again and I like that too. The spiral binding makes it very easy to read at a piano or keyboard and the relatively small size makes it convenient for taking to a group sing of any type It's just a book of lyrics but also has guitar chords included.

Rise up singing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2010

Fantastic piece of work in producing this book, a great reference work. Simplified chord system helps but sometimes is oversimplified may require adjustment. Minor point though, still, strongly recommended for musicians and singers.
