clj cljones@uswestmail.net Lyr ADD: The Hunting Song (Pentangle) (19) RE: The Hunting Song 09 Aug 99


I think they should be added to the db. This seems to be a somewhat rarely sung song. Perhaps it took a Pentangle to pull it off. If it were included, others may be able to revise it if it needs it; i.e. my ear hears "I'm off to war in my armour", Richard's version seeming a bit blunt not to mention uncomfortable (as portrayed in the movie 'Excalibur' of some years ago). This is not to imply it isn't accurate. The Stubborn Swede's beginning seems to capture of the poetic imagery a song of this age ought to have. I can not thank you enough for this. Of course, this could be resolved if Jacqui McShee or Bert Jansch could just jump in on this thread. P.S. What is the deal with the 'Magic Horn'?
