The album, released last Friday, took Bartholomew several years to research and write. She also produced a folk opera of the same name that was produced last year.
Morgan and her book, along with newspaper clippings, journals and other historic documents, were integral to Bartholomew’s songwriting.Bartholomew’s interest in the stories kicked off thanks to a combination of a tour of the Red Onion Saloon in Skagway and conversations with musician Rebecca Menzia during a summer tour in Dawson City.
Between the rise of the #MeToo movement, discussions of colonialism and the “harm that was inflicted upon Indigenous communities, it’s just a lot to examine and unpack,” she said. “Music has a really interesting way to not only share these stories but add new perspectives.”She added: “I feel like the world is ready to challenge some of their ideas and biases or fantasies about that time.”
Her sound is anchored in old-time music but would play well on a modern-day bluegrass or Americana radio show. The tales she tells are, at times, hard, but several of the songs are full-on fun and demand, at the very least, toe tapping. All of the songs would fit in just as well as part of the lineup in an Americana music festival in Tennessee as they would on the porch of a cabin in Southeast.
The women’s motivations and experiences were varied. Some went into the trade because they wanted a life of adventure, others because they saw it as the only way to survive once their husband had died or abandoned them. Some women hardly got by. Others thrived, happy to swap their time and talents for the miners’ money. However they made it through, their stories help build a fuller telling of all the people of the gold rush era, something that is way overdue.
