For five days in the summer of 1957, folklorist Edith Fowke recorded over eighty songs performed by O. J. Abbott, an octogenarian native of Ottawa.

Liner notes include a personal account of Ms. Fowke's experience working with Mr. Abbott, a brief autobiography from the performer, and descriptions with lyrics for each track.
