Subject: RE: Boring, Bleating Old Traddy (Peter Bellamy)
Are you familiar with PB's rewrite of Abe Carmen, Pip? It originally featured on his EFDSS album Second Wind and found its way onto Wake the Vaulted Echoes. Apparantly it was done in response to a call from one of The Transport's poducers who felt the original a little too bright for a man bound for the gallows. Naturally this darker version is the one I'm inclined to sing myself, though it does carry a rare potency as well as mighty a melody as you'd expect.
