On his 2016 album Borderland, Joe K. Walsh included an interpretation of the W.B. Yeats poem “The Lake Isle of Innisfree.” In this video, he plays “Innisfree” with fellow Peghead Nation instructor Bruce Molsky on guitar, Darol Anger on fiddle, and Brittany Karlson on bass. They recorded this at Berklee College of Music, where Joe, Bruce, and Darol teach in the American Roots Music program, from which Brittany graduated.
