Singing the Child Ballads
Rosaleen has written a special column in Canadian Folk Music magazine since 2005, in which she discusses the Child ballads that have found their way into her repertoire. Lyrics, music, and notes on each version she sings are provided.
To read the articles and hear audio clips, browse the CFM archives for Singing the Child Ballads.
Note: These audio clips were recorded through a special project with Athabasca University. They are performed a capella or with Rosaleen accompanying herself on guitar. These are not the same versions that you will find on the CD's, which were specially arranged with backing musicians and professionally mastered. However, they will give you a taste of Rosaleen's singing and the beauty of these ballads.
