Whaur The Pig Gaed On The Spree – Scottish Recordings by Alan Lomax 1951 to 1957Various
LP (Item 593424) Drag City, 1950s — Condition: New Copy
A great collection of archival Alan Lomax recordings of Scottish folk music in the 1950s – a Drag City compilation that commemorates the 60th anniversary of Lomax's first Scottish recordings – compiled by reverent contemporary Scottish folk figure Alasdair Roberts! There's a depth and diversity to the material that's actually quite revelatory – which is both a strength of the singers and players of the time, and strong statement for Roberts' skills as a curator. They range from sweet, stripped down and elegiac to rowdy and fun – with work songs, ballads and more. Includes "McGinty's Meal And Ale" by Davie Stewart, "Lord Thomas And Fair Ellen" by Jessie Murray, "The Big Kilmarnock Bonnet" by John Steven, "Hey Barra Gadgie" by Jimmy MacBeath, "The Collier Lad" by Mary Cosgrove, "Caber Feidh" by John Burgess, "Robin Hood And Little John" by John Strachan and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
