• Track Listing

Before she became a key figure in England’s folk revival (and well before her noted role in the folk-rock boom), Collins recorded this debut for Folkways at age 23. This is sparse, fragile folk at its purest (just vocals, guitar and banjo): Sweet England; The Cuckoo; Blackbirds and Thrushes; The Bonny Irish Boy; The Cherry Tree Carol; Polly Vaughan; Hares on the Mountain, and more!
