Thread Name: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever?
Subject: RE: Review: Greatest Anti-War Song Ever?
the Drum is credited on M-W-R's album which I'll look out tomorw. I dont think its that widely known. btw its 'hames' to do with attaching the horse to the cart not paint soory but they are 'carved pieces of wood by which the traces of a horse are attached to the collar' Thank you for posting the words. Good to see Jimmy Newman there, I was smitten by Denvers interpretation. Erics 2 are classics but to my mind it was June Tabor's uncluttered singing of them as on her 'Anthology ' album that didit for me. Mike Deavin has 2 creditable songs' The Soldier's story' and 'Blood on the Sand' but you wont find him easily. Then the one that starts: 'If you see a soldier covered all in medals' with a chorus that goes 'How about you folks out there you people looking on Are you heroes are you cowards would you say? If they stuck a rifle in your hand and sent you to the war Would you be brave or would you run the other way?' Brad Bradstock stopped the show with this one at out folk club and he's back in April Then ther 'When the boys are on Parade' by Marcus turner and sung by Andy Irvine on 'Way out Yonder' hes at the club on 11th april after Brad St Albans Herts., Eng
