From the back cover: Susan Reed was born in Columbia, South Carolina, not so very long ago. She began hearing folk songs from her theatrical family, her nurse and from many artistic friends (Irish actors, poets Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay and writers like Harry Bellamann) who visited her home. Susan learned the songs in their natural habitat but with the most artistic respect for the folk tradition.
She has performed in hundreds of concerts across the United States, setting a record of 106 solo concerts in a single season!
In the past few years Miss Reed has extended her career to include acting . She has appeared in Brigadoon, Finnian's Rainbow, Gigi, Our Town and many more. She has also been a regular guest on major television and radio shows and was starred in the Columbia picture, Glamour Girl.
Miss Reed lives in Greenwich Village with her actor-husband, James Karen. Together they run an antique shop devoted to gems of the Americana.
