Shady Grove features rich instrumental renditions of American folk songs, Stephen Foster tunes, and English and Irish ballads that migrated to the Southern Appalachians, as well as hymns and dances from Playford’s The English Dancing Master.
Celtic harpist Kim Robertson breathes new life into American classics such as “Oh! Susanna,” “Barbara Allen,” and "Streets of Laredo.” Many gifted musicians join her in diverse ensembles, ranging from ethereal strings and vibraphone to kalimba and djembe, to chamber folk with dulcimer and cello. |
