The Lady Gay
Andrew Rowan Summers’ selection of Anglo-American material evokes the romance of the impossibly dire that is unique to tragic ballads, wherein "the lady gay" finds herself in situations of woeful distress with no help in sight. From "Barbara Allen" to "Early One Morning," this album offers a selection of classic songs.
