Folk-Legacy has cassettes of Lawrence Older (Adirondack logger, fiddler and singer of Adirondack songs and ballads, including some with specific place names like Saranac Lake and Ballston) and Sara Cleveland (Irish-American grandmother from Brant Lake and Hudson Falls with a huge repertoire of traditional songs and ballads). These come with booklets containing all of the words to the songs, but no written music or tabs. Have a look at the "custom" listings on our web site at www.folklegacy.com. I've forgotten how to do the blue clickie thing. Maybe a clever JoeClone will provide one.

I would also suggest that you look at Frank and Anne Warner's Traditional American Folk Songs, published by Syracuse University Press (if memory serves - my copy is at the other end of the house!). They recorded a number of songs in New York State, although the book includes material they gathered from North Carolina to New Hampshire. It's a fine book.
