the album cover for Folk Songs Of Ontario - Folk Songs of Ontario / Various

This 1958 recording by Edith Fulton Fowke is a collection of folksongs from the province of Ontario sung by a myriad of traditional singers. Until Fowke began collecting these in the 1950's, most had never been heard by a general audience. Though a large portion of the songs on this recording come from the Irish-Canadians of the Peterborough region, many other songs trace their influence back to American and British roots. These stirring compositions cover everything from lumber-jacking to murdering to the married life.

  1. The Poor Little Girls From Ontario
  2. The Banks Of The Don
  3. Johnson's Hotel
  4. The Murder Of F.C. Benwell
  5. The Murder Of Maggie Howie
