I'm now listening to the Laverne Squires CD A Ttibute
Limited Edition Collection of Folk Songs and Ballads from the Outports.

I wouldn't call it a tribute album, since Laverne is singing,
whereas a tribute album generally means others are covering
the songs. But this CD is dedicated to the memory of
Laverne Squires and Noel DInn.

It contains 17 songs, recorded on January 17, 1969,
and taken from the collections:

1. The Peacock Collection: Songs of the Newfoundland Outports

2. The Karpeles Collection: Folk Songs from Newfoundland

3. Mansfield and Greenleaf's book: Ballads and Sea Songs of Newfoundland


The track listing is:

1. Early Spring
2. Go And leave Me
3. The Rosy Banks Of Green
4. Brave Wolfe
5. Johnny Dunlay
6. Barbry Ellen
7. The DArk Clothed Gypsy
8. Who Is At My Window Weeping
9. Riley The Fisherman
10. The Bloody Gardener
11. Bright Phoebe
12. The Unquiet Grave
13. The Foggy Dew
14. Little Musgrave
15. She's Like The Swallow
16. The Ghostly Lover
17. The Green Shores Of Fogo

Anyway, I highly recommend it, ancient songs sung
by the moody voice of Laverne, with sparse
accompaniment.

I don't know if it is available for download from
iTunes or CD Baby or Bandcamp. But it can be
ordered from Fred's Records web site at
http://www.fredsrecords.com/
or if you are in ST. John's, you can arrange
contactless pickup from them (details on the
web site). Also the CD says for further
information contact proberts@nl.rogers.com
or cornerboy51@hotmail.com and they should
know of any download availability.
