Шаблон:Italic title Deep Community: Adventures in the Modern Folk Underground is a book by Boston Globe journalist Scott Alarik with photographs by Robert Corwin. It was published in 2003 by Black Wolf Press. The book is a compilation of over 120 articles by the author that appeared in either The Boston Globe or Sing Out! between 1992 and 2002. The compilation includes interviews and stories about many of the key figures in contemporary folk music in America and the United Kingdom. Some of the writing is focused on the folk music scene in the Boston, Massachusetts area. The book is 416 pages and contains 96 photographs of the featured musicians.

Reviews

The book received a great deal of positive press in folk music circles. Like the music that it describes, however, it appears to have been largely ignored by the mainstream media.

Quotes

Several of New England's best known exponents of folk music offered praise that was included on the book's dust jacket:

• "This is the best reflection I've ever seen of the world I travel, by the person best suited to document it. Scott Alarik takes thirty years of experience as a journalist and performer and shows us how folk and roots music has survived and thrived in the nooks and cranies of the music world Let's hope the corporate music machine never gets its hands on this book." Ellis Paul
• "Scott Alarik is one of the best writers in America. You'll enjoy this book." Pete Seeger
• "The finest folk writer in the country." Dar Williams
