  
Let the Folk-a-bration continue! Hot on the heels of 2006’s Old Town School of Folk Music Songbook, Volume One, comes Volumes Two and Three of a four volume series. In a specially priced 2 CD set, 42 folk music classics are given a good going over by notable recording artists and the school’s longtime music instructors, each breathing new life into timeless songs. And as testament to the durability of these tunes, they stand up to wide variety of genre-busting experiments and instrumental and vocal chicanery.
The songs on The Old Town School of Folk Music Songbook, Volumes Two and Three are, in fact, drawn for the the Old Town School’s Songbook, a collection of ballads, love songs, sea chanties, pop songs, work songs, old-time religious tunes, and lots of other great music that has found its way into the Old Town School curriculum.
