(purchase digital downloads by scrolling down to the bottom of the page)

Volume 2 picks up where Vol. 1 left off, with more songs from Robin's concert-lecture of the same name. It is nearly an hour of music and has 14 traditional Anglo and Afro-American folk songs, all about or by women, sung by Robin and performed on banjo and guitar with bass, percussion, fiddle, harmonica and more.

New in Volume 2 are a few contemporary songs (composed 20th century) by such luminaries as Peggy Seeger and Christine Lavin. There is also the iconic song "Union Maid" by Woody Guthrie. On this CD you will find such classic folk and blues songs as "Frankie and Johnny", "Sweet Betsy From Pike", "Come All You Fair And Tender Ladies", "I Never Will Marry" and others.

The CD is available now from this website, as well as at CDBaby and digital e-tailers everywhere. You can purchase digital downloads below of either individual songs or the entire CD.
