Lamkin: Versions & Variants Across the Northern Hemisphere
Folklorist Derek Piotr teams with Death is Not the End for a third outing, this time plumbing the depths of every archive from West Virginia University to the British Library in search of versions of the ballad Lamkin. Following the template set by Charlie Seeger with his seminal Barbara Allen compilation, Piotr's collection outs versions of the bloody ballad from the last ninety years; most of these renditions haven't been heard by anyone but their original recordists for decades.
Curated and edited by Derek Piotr.
"Serenity" portrait of Lily Delorme courtesy of the Helen Hartness Flanders Ballad Collection, Middlebury College, Middlebury, VT.
