# Iona Fyfe: The Baron of Brackley

Scottish traditional singer Iona Fyfe performing “The Baron of Brackley” from a field recording of singer Alexander McEwan, recorded by James Madison Carpenter in Craigievar in Aberdeenshire, Scotland on January 11, 1927. From the James Madison Carpenter collection (AFC 1972/001: AFS 14,843 Disc Side 027, sr014). The American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress challenged musical artists to interpret material from its unparalleled archive of ethnographic recordings of traditional folk music. Artists were asked to put their own spin on these archival treasures, and to perform them at a special showcase during the Folk Alliance International conference in Montreal, Canada, in 2025. The showcase was recorded for this webcast.
