Peggy Seeger (born 1935 New York) was, by 1959, effectively the de-facto wife MacColl (he was still legally married to his second wife). Have a good read of each of their Wikipedia entries - quite complex stories. Incidentally, Peggy was a younger half sister of Pete Seeger and also younger full sister to Mike Seeger once of the New Lost City Ramblers.
This, the second of their joint albums, was released in 1961. All tracks are British Isles traditionals either originating in Scotland or Scottish versions of English Ballads.
The tracks are Aikendrum, The False Lover Won Back, The Gairdener Chyld, The Maid Gaed to the Mill, The Elfin Knight, The Banks of the Nile, Hughie Grame, Johnny Lad, Mormond Braes, Glasgowe Peggy, The Moneymusk Lads, The Trooper and the Maid, I Loved a Lass, and Lord Thomas and Fair Annie.
This is a great album. The tracks were digitally re-mastered for the CD release. The CD graphics include the original LP notes for each of the songs and are included in the download.

ReplyDeletePlease, re-up mediafire link. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with the link there - just downloaded it myself to be sure.
DeleteThe funny thing here is that MacColl once argued that true folk singers should only sing the songs of their own country. MacColl, born in England, could claim Scottish ancestry, but I'm not sure where that leaves his American singing partner!
