Embedded in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s stories are references to 126 separate songs and tunes. Happy Land is the first in a series of musical tributes to Wilder (1867-1957) for her efforts to illuminate, explain, and capture the place that music-making once occupied in the family life of ordinary Americans.
Traditional fiddle tunes, parlor songs, novelty tunes, folk ballads and gospel music all come together to shape this unique interpretation of 19th century Americana.
