Tuna Day

Been a day for American Folk.  Was listening to Anthology of American Folk Music again today.  It’s a great box set.  Each time I listen to it I get more and more from it.  This song was later “adapted” by Dylan as Maggie’s Farm.

Then, this evening BBC4 have been having an American Folk night.  Episode 1: Birth of a Nation from the Folk America documentary featured a lot of tracks that I know from various sources, although a lot do come from Anthology of American Folk Music.  Penny’s Farm was one of those songs.  I don’t think it is the best song on either the album or the show but it is one I recognised.
