Cumberland Mountain Folksongs

Paul Clayton

Collector Paul Clayton performs the songs and ballads he collected in the Cumberland Mountains of Virginia and Kentucky in the 1950s—a repertoire that includes both old English and Scottish ballads and recently-composed songs about events such as the cave-in that trapped and killed Floyd Collins in Kentucky’s Sand Cave in 1925.
