GUEST,Rebecca Help: Scottish folk songs (37) Scottish folk songs 25 Nov 00


Although I've been into Irish folk music for a while, I recently started pursuing an interest in Scottish folk music. Unfortunately almost all of the CDs in the music store feature only instrumental bagpipe music. I like that kind of music but what I'm really looking for are the ballads, love songs, rebel songs, etc., e.g. songs with actual words. Are there any groups out there that actually sing Scottish folksongs? Also, what is the difference in sound between Irish, Scottish, and English folk music? I mostly listen to Irish but I've heard a few Scottish and English folksongs. However, I don't know the difference in style or use of instruments. Please help. -Rebecca
