Subject: RE: Lyr Req: June Tabor 'Spy ship' theme
From the Roots&Rhythm site It's the second track listed: -

ENGLAND JUNE TABOR Topic 4003 Always 쳌œ CD $53.98
Four CDs, 67 tracks, approx 4 Hours 40 mins, essential
This wonderful set which includes 42 previously unreleased tracks (many songs not available by her in any other form) documents the career of one of Britain's very finest singers. It includes key tracks from all parts of her career, many live and unissued songs and collaborations with, among others, Maddy Prior, The Oyster Band, Martin Carthy, The Creative Jazz Orchestra, Nic Jones, Huw Warren and Martin Simpson. June's music is not for casual listening - she puts so much into the interpretation of the lyrics that one needs to pay attention to what she is singing in order to get the maximum out of them and what you do get out of them will send icy fingers down your spine. Occasionally the slowness of the pace and laid back arrangements can get a little ponderous, particularly in some of her 90s performances, but at her finest no one can top her. About half the songs are traditional and the rest are from the pens of songwriters like David Sudbury, Kris Kristofferson, Richard Thompson (her version of Strange Affair is simply mesmerizing), Si Kahn, Lal Waterson, Elvis Costello, Eric Bogle (her version of The Band Plays Walzting Matilda is definitive and helped introduce Eric to a worldwide audience), Bill Caddic, Les Barker and others. Set come in 6"x12" box and comes with 48 page full color booklet with historical photos, biographical essay and notes on the songs (the latter mostly by June herself). Gorgeous. (FS)
