As the heyday of the lumber camps faded, Franz Rickaby set out to find songs from shanty boys, river drivers, and sawmill hands in the Upper Midwest. Travelling mostly on foot, he collected not just the words of songs, but the tunes, making careful notes about his informants and their performances. Pinery Boys incorporates, commemorates, contextualizes, and complements Rickaby's early work.
