It's _The People's Past: Scottish Folk, Scottish History_, done by Polygon about 1980, then reprinted in 1990 or 91. Great stuff in it, mostly cultural contexts of music. For recordings I'd add most any still available by Jeannie Robertson -- Rounder's "Queen Among the Heather" is a good current one that includes a bit of Jeannie talking about her singing. Also, that Columbia Records project done by Lomax et.al. that's recently been reissued on CD.. I think they called it the World Library of Primitive Music or some such... I'm away from home and don't have it with me. Anyway, the Scottish CD is all field recordings and quite varied. Susan Tichy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
