Beautifully sung and played piece. The violin adds a wonderful touch. Important theme and great lyrics. Very haunting song. It could lure one to sleep, but in a very good way.
Done very well, the voice is captivating... the recording is very good
If this group were billed at the local folk festival, I'd definitely put them on my list of groups to hear. I'm assuming that this is a rendition of a traditional folk song about men going off to war. It's the lament of the families they left behind. The minor tune with poignant vocals and beautiful harmonies are so pleasing to the ear and hugely effective in communicating the sad emotions of the song. Love the fiddle and guitar too. There's a lot to love in this song. Bravo! Ten stars!
Wistful song about the atmosphere among the women when the men have gone off to do battle. Effective lyrics. A hypnotically repetitive tune in the traditional style, well and accurately sung. Polished, moving fiddle. All in all, well worth the listen.
