    A dozen songs, featuring Ives accompanying himself with guitar, drawn mostly from Anglo-American traditions. Highlights include "Dublin City," "Cockle Shells," and fare from closer to home such as "The Erie Canal" and "Aunt Rhody," all of which, mostly thanks to Ives, became staples of camp singalongs for three generations. Ballads and Folk Songs, Vol. 1 features notes by no less a figure than Alan Lomax himself.
