Seeger,Pete Frontier Ballads CD

Adventurers, nonconformists, naturalists, and anyone seeking a new life traveled to America's far reaches, singing their old music even as they created new songs to describe life on the frontier.

Note: This title combines two earlier Folkways 10" vinyl releases. FW02175 Frontier Ballads and FW02176 Frontier Ballads Volume Two.
