about

an album of traditionals recorded in the Tongass Rain Forest at the foot of the notorious White Pass "Deadhorse" Trail, the historic gateway to the Klondike, in Skagway, Alaska, June and July of 2012.

"A consistent definition of traditional folk music is elusive... there is still no certain definition of what folk music is. Folk music may tend to have certain characteristics but cannot clearly be differentiated in purely musical terms. One meaning often given is that of "old songs, with no known composers," another is that of music that has been submitted to an evolutionary "process of oral transmission... the fashioning and re-fashioning of the music by the community that give it its folk character..." One widely used definition is simply "Folk music is what the people sing."

Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival."

-Wikipedia

And it continues to evolve into the 21st century.
