Into The Wood…
Herewith a collection of our family’s favorite traditional tunes! Most are narrative ballads. The first half come
from the British Isles; the second half from Appalachia and the American West. So we follow a general chronological
drift from the 16th century to the present time, crossing the Atlantic for good with Pontchartrain and the capstan
shanty General Taylor. These tunes live on thanks to the work of a handful of scholars and song-catchers: Francis
James Child, Cecil Sharp and Maud Karpeles, John and Alan Lomax. Without them, most of these songs would have been
lost. We owe them our deep gratitude.
