An English Folk Music Anthology, recorded between 1974 and 1980, features 47 tracks of nursery songs, ballads, and broadsides, as well as more contemporary political and union songs. Performers include rural and urban singers from all walks of life (housewives, retired bankers, coal miners, and many more), travelers, and children. The liner notes provide information on English folk music as well as song lyrics, and background on each track; there are also extensive references and a bibliography.
