This is the first song I've released. I've done it through my school record label with the help of our production teacher and I would love some feedback. This song is already about 2 years old, and my writing has progressed immensely and I will post more songs when I record them.

I’m trying to remember an old English folk song I learned some 25 years ago and have since forgotten the name and all of the lyrics. What I remember is that it was probably at least a couple of centuries old and it anthropomorphized the seasons of the year. It describes each season as a woman with the characteristics of the season, describing how she walks and what she wears. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Here's an album I worked on over the past year. It's in the trad folk style of John Roberts, Tony Barrand and Cliff Haslam (who appears on the album!). A mix of traditional and original compositions ("In the tradition" as they say).
I hope you all enjoy. Also available on streaming services.
Hey! I am gaining primary research for my final uni research project. The paper is on the relation between folk music, national trad music and times of civil disorder. Please answer as short or as long as you want. I look forward to reading your thoughts! https://forms.gle/7xZiQ9VWX63CHH4V8
Hafizeh Nagmeh" is combination of Kashmiri saaz, dance and singing. "Hafizeh" (Hafiza) denoted a young charming woman with a sharp memory and dancing skills. "Nagma" is a melodious song. Kashmiri Sazandar (players of musical in- struments) play music and a beautiful woman dances and sings. Hafizah denoted a charming woman who could remember songs ranging from Hafiz of Sheeraz to Rasul Mir of Kashmir.
Tashvan and Maisuma are two localities in Srinagar city where Hafiza pavilions were situated, but during the Dogra regime, the institution of Hafiza Nagmeh was converted into prostitution. Following a fierce campaign launched by Subhan Naid of Maisuma Maharaja banned the prostitution in 1943.
There is prima facie evidence about the term “Hafiza” was a later interpolation in Kashmir’s music & dance history. To recapitulate, besides male singers, there were female singers & dancers from ancient-medieval times down to the present times in Kashmir.
However, there is no historical evidence that Kashmiri female singers-dancers were ever called “Hafizas” in Mughal rule or Afghan rule.

Bourgeois Blues, originally by Leadbelly. I can’t figure out what tuning he’s in. I do rock covers of folk songs and might want to make this my next one. I love the riffs. Can’t figure out the tuning. The low E is probably tuned down to a D but otherwise not sure.
I recently discovered him and I love his stuff, Light Green Fellow and Penguins are absolutely beautiful, so is Be Kind To Me and The Werewolf. He has such a huge discography.
I was singing this song today and it occurred to me that it would be nice to translate it into Spanish. That, however, is a lot of work for this old man. Is anyone aware of such a translation in existence? A recording or sheet?
