Nields Canon
The Nields Canon is the list of all the songs that the Nields have recorded on their albums. (I don't consider the song Anchorman to be a part of the Nields Canon because it was never recorded onto one of their own albums, only on a compilation put out by WWUH called The Folk Next Door.) I've included Nerissa's early albums, but she has asked that the lyrics to those songs not be made available. A few of the songs on her early albums are also on other albums or early bootlegs whose distribution (as far as I understand it) she has approved, so I have made available the lyrics to those songs.
Nerissa's Early Albums
Map Of The World
Songs As Pockets
These two albums are collectively called Overdosed on Dylan--Mostly in D. They also feature Katryna on many of the songs.

Gotta Get Over Greta
There are two versions of Gotta Get Over Greta: Red Greta (the Razor & Tie version) and Blue Greta (the Guardian version). Red Greta was released first, but when the Nields joined Guardian Records, they re-released the album as Blue Greta (also called Re-Greta), with the order of the songs slightly changed and the addition of three more songs.
