about
A collection of traditional Anglo-American folk songs performed in the spirit of early Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie recordings - raw, minimal editing, and a live feel.
"This is a well-researched, well-sung collection, from someone who
is passionate about 'preserving musical traditions from years gone by', and it does exactly what it says on the tin." -Living Tradition, Scotland
Historical notes and lyrics for each song can be found on my website:
