Irish Songs From Old New England

Various Artists

Real Irish folk songs collected in New England, most brought directly from Ireland by immigrants and deep-water sailors during the 19th Century. They are story songs of love and war, frolic and work—Irish ballads that, like their singers, became truly American.

This recording is made with the hope of re-introducing these classic Irish-American ballads into today's living folk song repertoire.
