A - Z of Tracks
See also: Collections
This is a copy of the main archive listings at Mike & the Alchemist's Synthetic Folk Archive. Generally speaking, the original site may be anything up to a week or more ahead of this copy, so for the most recent additions to their archive please visit that site instead.
Individual tracks are listed in alphabetical order, with any initial occurrence of the word "the" ignored. For example, look under "B" for "The Bonny Boy". We believe the credits to be accurate, but classic folk material often has a habit of seeming "traditional" when in fact it isn't. If you notice that any of the songs or tunes cited here are wrongly credited, please use our contact form to let us know!
