Bound Away: Traditional Seafaring Songs from Maine CD

Bound Away: Traditional Seafaring Songs from Maine, contains 12 songs performed by Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee. These songs are part of a rich heritage of singing and storytelling that came with immigrants to Maine from Britain, Scotland, and Ireland. Some of these songs retain the original lyrics and melodies and others have been changed as memory and environment have dictated. Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee found these songs in various manuscripts and audio archives of songs collected from traditional singers in Maine from 1920 through 1943.
