The Queen Family - Appalachian Traditions & Back Porch Music (DVD, 2006) PBS

Description: When Mary Jane Prince married Claude Queen, they united two of the most renowned musical families in southern Appalachia. They made a life and home for eight children and several hundred years of tradition in the heart of the mountains. In this classic documentary the iconic mountain family lives and breathes the traditions of mountain life, and plays a wealth of old time music on the back porch. From the Raleigh News and Observer: “Toes tapped and heads bobbed during the screening of ‘The Queen family,’ as members of one of North Carolina’s most revered musical families shared their brand of acoustic mountain music, quite literally from their back porch . . . Quail ridge bookseller Nathan miller, 27, was so impressed that he took home a DVD after the screening. ‘It kinda hit home,’ says Miller, who grew up in Wilkesboro. ‘Appalachian regional music – it’s very distinct. I think it needs to be remembered.’. . . The finished product impressed the Queens. ‘I think it captured the essence of the music and particularly of mother – her spirit and what she’s about,’ says Kathy Queen Hayes, the sixth of eight children of Mary Jane and Claude Queen.” Mary Jane Queen received the National Folk Heritage Award in 1993.
