| A folk singer, archivist, lecturer, and historian on the level of Ewan MacColl, Pete Seeger and A.L. Lloyd, all of whom Killen worked with at one time or another. Born in 1934 in Gateshead-on-Tyne, Durham, England, emigrated to the United States in 1967. A live a cappella collection of traditional songs, barring MacColl's "Shoals of Herring," Sea Chanteys was Killen's first collection of songs relating to the sea and the sailing life, which would remain a passion throughout of his career. A few years before Killen's death, she underwent a gender reassignment to become Louisa Jo. 1973 issue of his 1st US album, known also as "Folk Songs".
