Episode 343 Nothing but Green Willow: The Songs of Mary Sands and Jane Gentry
Sounds Atlantic
Friday, January 16, 2026 - 1 hour 57 minutes
Interview with Thomm Jutz, one of North America’s finest songwriters, featuring a collaboration between this American singer-songwriter-producer and British folk singer, guitar player and producer Martin Simpson. Their collaboration centres upon a collection of English ballads gathered in the early 1900s by the great English folklorist Cecil Sharp and his assistant Maud Karpeles from Appalachian folk singers Mary Sands and Jane Gentry. Numerous of these ballads, like “Fair and Tender Ladies”, would eventually become absorbed in early North American folk music. (Note that Martin Simpson produced Newfoundland singer-songwriter Matthew Byrne’s latest release “Stealing Time” (ref. Episode 340).
