Ewan Maccoll- Broadside Ballads 2 (London: 1600-1700) (CD)

This second volume (see Folkways FW03043, Broadside Ballads, Volume 1) continues Ewan MacColl's exploration of English broadside ballads. It features songs about the exploits of women, from a woman who dresses in highwayman's clothes for nefarious purposes (and comes to no good end) to the story of Constance of Cleveland, who was betrayed by a disloyal knight.
