I have deliberately excluded American and Canadian albums from my discography as they
are far better covered elsewhere. Bob hails from Minnesota, but is currently resident
in the U.K. and this album is released on a local label. Therefore, I feel it
appropriate to include it here. Many of the songs on the album have been culled from
the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. USA.
