Boiled in Lead is a world music band from Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] They formed in 1983, and have through a number of membership changes since then.[2] They continue to perform today, most notably each Saint Patrick's Day at First Avenue.[3]
The band's name comes from John Leyden's ballad of "Lord Soulis"[4] as recounted in Albion: A Guide to Legendary Britain, recorded by Boiled in Lead on their first album, Boiled in Lead, as "The Man Who Was Boiled in Lead".
Their first album contained primarily traditional music, much of it Celtic, as well as a cover of "Over Under Sideways Down" by The Yardbirds. With the addition of Robin "Adnan" Anders on drum set and percussion in 1986, the band's sound changed: not only did their repertoire include a wider variety of traditional music (African, Hungarian, Serbian, Egyptian, Swedish, Macedonian, and Turkish for example) as well as original songs written by band members and Adam Stemple's mother Jane Yolen, but the music came to draw stylistically from other sounds. (The band recognized this; their third album had a note on the back saying "File Under: Celtodelic Rock 'n' Reel".)

The black spae-book true Thomas he took; / Again its magic leaves he spread; / And he found that to quell the powerful spell, / The wizard must be boil'd in lead.
