The classic three volumes of Hebridean Folksongs, reissued
simultaneously for the first time since their original publication
(1969, 1977, 1981), contain 135 songs connected with the waulking
of homespun tweed cloth in the Hebridean isles. Volume 1 is based
on waulking songs collected by Donald MacCormick in South Uist in
1893. Volumes 2 and 3 are based on John Lorne Campbell's recordings
of songs made between 1938 and 1965 in Barra, South Uist, Eriskay
and Benbecula. The translations for all the songs in Volumes 2 and
3 and many of those in Volume 1 are by John Lorne Campbell, who
also wrote detailed notes discussing the songs. Multiple versions
of the same song are compared with each other and with versions
drawn from unpublished manuscript sources. Francis Collinson's
meticulous musical transcriptions of the songs, and musicological
analyses, are invaluable. The songs are from the repertoires of
some well-known singers of their generation, including Miss Annie
Johnson, her brother Calum and Miss Mary Morrison, all of Barra,
Mrs Neil Campbell of South Uist, and Miss Nan MacKinnon of
Vatersay.
