When most people think of modern-day rural Minnesota, they probably picture the reserved Scandinavian townsfolk and quiet lifestyle of Lake Woebegone. But in the logging boom years of the late 1800s, Minnesota was overrun with a much rowdier bunch: Lumberjacks—many of them Irish—and they brought with them their penchant for revelry and their rich musical tradition. Singer and guitar player Brian Miller breathes new life into the long-forgotten Irish and Scottish music of Minnesota's early logging camps. Comes with two booklets full of beautiful archival photos and extensive history behind the songs.
