Yes, John Strachan is familiar to me. Peter Kennedy,at Folktrax, has two CDs by him. The Rounder CD comes from that stuff, and I think it contains the best recordings he made. His songs are also in very important collections of ballads, such as The Muckle Sangs (Greentrax), with Child ballads in Scottish versions, and the two volumes by Rounder, Classic ballads of Britain and Ireland. One of the very best traditional singers. Binnorie,O Binnorie, his version of The Twa Sisters, is a masterpiece. His Robin Hood is one of the very few Robin Hood ballads I've heard from a traditional singer, and not a folk singer or classical performers. Other very fine Child ballads are his versions of Johnnie O Breadislie, The Knight and the Shpepherd Daughter and Clyde's Water, the song that Nic Jones recorded as The Drowned Lovers. And I'd like to mention his rendition of The Bonnie Lass of Fyvie. Ewan MacColl sang a similar version, maybe inspired by John Strachan. Roberto Campo
