Imagine. Simply let your mind wander back to a time when America was just coming into it's own. Picture a land that was full of love, war, politics, and song. Now, try to put those images to music.

Difficult? Not for the Jolly Rogues, whose latest album, 14 Miles to Boston, contains a mix of melodies, ballads, children's ditties and popular songs of the past, in an era long lost to the history books.

These are the songs that may have been heard in the public houses and military camps around the Boston and New England area. Each recording has some ties to England, Ireland and/or Scotland. They were passed down through generations of immigrants and refugees who came ashore in the United States.

These tunes are addicting and definitely take you back to a time when this country was just learning how to stand on its own and the people defined the culture.
