Subject: Obscure folkgroups-MorningStar?
I inherited a very beat up old bootleg tape from a friend, which was simply labeled "MorningStar". It was in horrible shape, and after I played it many times myself, the music can barely be distinguished any more. I want to replace it if I can, and possibly find more music by these people, but the only reference I've found to a band by that name is a christian group, whereas the material *I* have is all celto-british folk. Perhaps it's just the name of an album by some other band. Can anyone help me with this?
Some of the songs included are:
The Darby Ram, Do Ye Ken John Deal, and a great song about hounds, the name of which I have no clue, but the chorus goes

There was dyed ol' bendigo, gentry she was there-oh, troubler, we never looked behind him,
and there was countess, rover, bonnie lass and jover, these were the hounds that could find 'im...

Help!
