Santa | Origin The Blackleg Miner (106* d) | RE: Origin The Blackleg Miner | 22 Apr 08 |
Having seen Peter Bellamy perform his Kipling cycle - and bought the album - I have to say that his voice came between his music and my appreciation of it. However, I completely agree that his approach was to clear away the jingoism attached to Kipling, at least as far as RK's early work was concerned. The stories told in the songs were far from simple-minded imperial patriotism. |
