Can anyone identify the tunes used in "The Farmer's Set" by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason on their "Harvest Home" album, please?

Thanks,
Harry

Here's a start from The Green Man Review:

For the New England sound, they play a set of very dance-able contra dances called "The Farmer's Set" with of Jeremiah McLane on piano accordion, Keith Murphy on mandolin, and Harry Aceto on bass. These standards (among them, "Speed the Plow" and "Swinging on a Gate") are played with verve and drive.

Here's a YouTube video:

Grooveshark gives a list of songs in "The Farmer's Set":

• Muckin' o' Geordie's Byre
• Corn Rigs
• Harvest Home
• Swinging on a Gate
• Speed the Plow
• Wind That Shakes the Barley

It's on YouTube but "unavailable" here. Spotify doesn't support my machine.

The sample on Ungar's site only has the first 30 seconds of the track, a slowed-down and twiddled-up version of The Mucking of Geordie's Byre.
