Broadside Ballads, Vol. 2 (London 1600-1700) Female Frollicks and Politicke (1962) Ewan MacColl CD

"This item is part of the Folkways (Cook, or Paredon, or Monitor) archives.  The original liner notes from the LP are included."

This second volume (see Folkways FW03043, Broadside Ballads, Volume 1) continues Ewan MacColl’s exploration of English broadside ballads. It features songs about the exploits of women, from a woman who dresses in highwayman’s clothes for nefarious purposes (and comes to no good end) to the story of Constance of Cleveland, who was betrayed by a disloyal knight.
