Folk singer Towney presents a variety of tunes including favorites composed during the reigns of Elizabeth & James I, when tobacco was king, to Tin Pan Alley numbers of the early 20th Century, when hydraulics began to replace muscle, and more. Like this nation, the songs began an ocean away from England to Africa, and are transformed by commerce, technology & social change into something uniquely American. Townley is joined by the Press Gang, a group of friends & fellow musicians, including Anne Waple, Blanton Bradley & champion Scottish fiddler John Turner.
