Tom Paley was well known from his years with
the New Lost City Ramblers in the late '50s and early '60s. After moving to Sweden and then to England,
Paley continued to advance traditional music from throughout the world, recording with traditional artists including
Jean Ritchie and
Peggy Seeger. He also added traditional Scandinavian music to his repertoire, collaborating with his son Ben on such albums as On a Cold Winter Night (1993) and Svenska Låtar: Swedish Fiddle Tunes (1998). Always a fine source of unusual traditional music,
Tom Paley continued recording into the 21st century, issuing
Beware Young Ladies! (with
Bert Deivert) in 2007. He died in Brighton, England in September 2017 at the age of 89. ~ Don Stevens
