Yehaaw! A brilliant album.
My Celtic heritage knows this song as something else. Do you know what?

The Polperro Fishermen's Choir: Two Albums From Polperro Cornwall
*Where I live, in my part of merry-old England*, we have our own carols that are peculiar to our villages. These are heard nowhere else in the world; written by locals and now sadly appropriated by musicologists who feel it's their right to glorify their GOD (whatever that might be) and lesser the tradition of a local innocent religion. But we accept this.
The Celts of Cornwall often feel as though they are privileged in their uniqueness; they're not. Many Celts live all over Britain and never treat people as badly as these Cornwallian cocks do.
*Where I live, in my part of merry-old England *we treat everyone with the respect they deserve. No one is an outcomer, or incomer or whatever you dumb-asses call it. Interbreeding doesn't make you special.
Anyway!
These albums show where the American tradition really came from. If a country appropriates God then they better back it up with history because your God came from YOUR homeland.
The Platters: Siempre The Platters
Utterly magical music. A Spanish (Mercury) album from 1962. Classic songs like Sixteen Tons, Only you and The Great Pretender take you to a time where musicians did it all live.
Alan Hull: Pipedream
The recording of the vinyl is a little scratchy on track one but then it's pretty perfect. Alan Hull's first solo album after the break-up of Lindisfarne. All a bit pedestrian for my taste but someone will love it.
Ace Cannon: That Music City Feeling
Saxomaphone ace, Ace Cannon looks like a darts player but plays like a dream. He has a very fluid style that works well with his selection of tunes.
