About this listen

It’s Some Dark Holler Day! And this episode, we bring you the sad story of Freeda Bolt! A young girl from Virginia who elopes with her sweetheart in hopes of a happily ever after. Alas, what happens next is the theme of the ballad Young Freda Bolt. We sing and tell her story and Allison rewrites history for her version of the song.
