The notes (Turkish/English) are excellent and point out that being a new bride with a new baby in a traditional Anatolian culture is a grim experience - away from your own family, treated like a slave by your husband's, and with nobody to talk to but a pink blob that doesn't understand a word you say. So you let it all out to the baby anyway.
The songs are in an amazing variety of languages, mostly untranslated but often summarized. Mostly field recordings but some studio performances.
