Subject: RE: Origins: She Moves Through the Fair
There was a thread around a while ago about songs which "got to you". My personal unit of measurement is whether the short hairs on the back of my neck, move.
I have heard many versions of this song but one which had the short hairs jumping up and down is by Joe Brown on his "Hitting The High Spots" album.
He is accompanied by his daughter, Sam and the backing includes such unexpected instruments as ukulele and didgeridoo??
I've been an admirer of Joe as a guitarist since the 50s and have heard various jaunts by him into folk music (he is an accomplished fiddler as well) but this goes down as my all-time favourite Joe Brown track.
It starts off rhythmically and powerful and goes UP from there.
I've searched for a link but can't find one.
If the idea of Joe Brown + folk music is a difficult one for you, Try keeping an open mind and give it a listen if you come across the album.
