CDR copy--collected by Jean Ritchie and George Pickow
Jean Ritchie - iconic folksinger and dulcimer player from Kentucky - received in 1952 a Fulbright Scholarship enabling her to travel to the British Isles to trace the origin of her Kentucky versions of songs and compare them with British versions. During the course of her travels, she and her husband, with the assistance of prominent British folk song authorities, made many field recordings, some of which are found on this recording. Included here are old British ballads, drinking songs, children's songs and games, hand bell ringing, dance tunes, lyrical love songs, and an excerpt from a Mummers' Play, among others. Instruments include fiddle, Northumbrian small pipes, melodeon, and pipe and tabor (drum) played by one individual. Liner notes explain each track and provide lyrics. Biographical information about Jean Ritchie is also present.
