I've been listening to the song samples here:

https://centerhistorypsychology.wordpress.com/2016/09/02/dr-boder-and-the-missing-songs/

and I wanted to ask a favor. Are these well-known songs, that you recognize/can point me to the words or translation of any of them? (Or are they maybe filksongs of popular/folksongs?) I'd like to know what these people are saying.

The voices are great. As far as singing style and personality are concerned, they remind me of source singer recordings I've heard that were done in the UK around the same time and in the US a bit later. Simple, strong, rhythmic, able to carry a tune, and dedicated to the shape of the tune in a way that means they break up sentences a bit and breathe in the middle of lines. And also like other source singer recordings, these seem like people singing the way they talk, with no pop-music distorted pronunciation or performer-y voice quality.
