The Travellers were formed in 1952 by Sid Dolgay (mando-cello), Jerry Gray (banjo, singer) and vocalists Jerry Goodis, Oscar Ross and Helen Gray. The folk band's cover of "This Land Is Your Land" in 1955 granted them fame in their native Canada. Across Canada with the Travellers was their first album; over ten albums followed, including The Travellers Sing Songs of North America (1959), Quilting Bee (1960), Introducing the Travellers (1961), The Travellers on Tour (1962), Something to Sing About (1963), We're on Our Way Again (1964), The Travellers Still Traveling (1966), A Century of Song (1967), This Land, the Travellers Centennial Album (1967), The Travellers Applaud Canada (1968), The Travellers Sing for Kids (1970) and a final, self-titled album in 1970.
A re-formed lineup recorded Merry-Go-Around in 1980; Jerry Gray was joined by vocalist Aileen Lawrence, guitarist Ted Roberts, bassist Joe Lawrence and drummer Don Vickery. ~ John Bush
