However, my favorite rendition is on: Eliza Carthy & Nancy Kerr Mrs Casey Records MCRCD3991 / MCRC3991 (CD / cassette, UK, 1993) It still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Dave. Iwas a young man I was a rover... |

From: GUEST,colc Date: 21 Nov 03 - 12:47 PM thanks for your reply. i've found a clip of the version you mentioned and unfortunately its not the one i'm looking for. for those without soundcards.... my clip is no later than 1992, has a solo female vocalist, and the lyrics as far as i can make out are.. "through bushes and through briars, i lately took my way, for to hear the young birds singing, and the lambs to sport and play." |
Subject: RE: Help: Bushes & Briars sound clip origin? From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 21 Nov 03 - 01:00 PM The singing is a little breathless and hurried, I thought, and rather heavy on the reverb. I can only add another negative: it is not Susan McKeown, who has made what seems currently to be a popular recording of the song; she has a stronger voice. |

Subject: RE: Help: Bushes & Briars sound clip origin? From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 21 Nov 03 - 01:38 PM Haven't heard it, but the song is on a Loreena McKennitt album. |
Subject: RE: Help: Bushes & Briars sound clip origin? From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 21 Nov 03 - 02:11 PM Not listed on her website though, so far as I can see. Otherwise, I might suspect her of being the perpetrator; it's characteristically wispy. |
