Songs about love and loss

[Hoops66]

Not a child ballad, but a Child Ballad. Francis James Child collected songs, initially in England and Scotland, eventually traveling to Scandinavia and the New World. Much of what we know of traditional song comes from Child. There are two other well-known collections, not nearly as extensive as Child, one is maybe Routh(?), the other Cecil Sharpe.

Thanks for this info. It clears up my misinterpretation and makes total sense. He looks like an Allen Lomax type historian.
I just read Child's Wiki bio. Very impressive Bostonian scholar! Thanks, again.

Good choice. Almost all of Hank's discography might qualify including Kaw-liga. Maybe not Jambalaya......
