VA "The Snowy River Men" - Songs of Kevin Baker LP 1982

This album features songs written by Kevin Baker. The tracks are sung by Kevin Baker, his wife Beth Baker, or John Broomhall (as listed below). The album was produced with the assistance of the Wollongong Folk Society.

Kevin and Beth Baker have both featured before in this blog. Kevin's songs can generally be viewed as having protest and chronicler themes in the Australian battler tradition. "Death of a Lark", however, deals with Bobby Sands and the Irish troubles.

This rip and encoding has been generously provided by one of our visitors. Thank you very much. There are a couple of minor glitches which do not intrude badly.
