There's a new CD of Jeannie which has just been announced.... the blurb doesn't say which one.


It was originally issued as The World's Greatest Folk Singer by Prestige International (13006) in 1960.
Recorded by Alexander Folkarde
Produced by Kenneth Goldstein
Notes by Hamish Henderson.

Another of Jeannie's great albums.

One great rarity is the final track.; Jeannie and her daughter Lizzie Higgins recorded together (as far as I know the only time that they did). The story that Lizzie told me of the almighty and very long row that she and her mother had whilst recording these simple children's songs is a really hilarious one.
