Back in 1960, Lori Holland recorded a fine album for Folkways: 'Irish Folk Songs for Women' Folkways FG 3518. She had previously recorded 'Scottish Folk Songs for Women' Folkways FG 3517 - I don't have a copy of that. Her aim was to present songs 'which because of their very nature would be especially attractive to and more meaningfully performed by women'. The songs she chose for the Irish album were:

I know my love
My bonny boy
If I was a blackbird
She moved through the fair
The jackets green
The light of the moon
The patriot mother
The next market day
Come oh love
I know where I'm going
The lowlands of Holland
Mrs McGrath
The tri-coloured ribbon
The royal blackbird
