It is on the album 'The West of Ireland' Boys of the Lough 1999.

Here is an extract from a review:

The next track, the song The Maid with the Bonny Brown Hair, begins by employing two whistles, one in 'harmony', but there is a distinct loss of impact here and the introduction of the cello is, as it were, clumsy. There is too much of a vertical gap between the melodic line and the rather exposed bass line. There's also a viola. Experimental? I think that it ends up as a gimmick: the sleeve has it that cello and viola "together seem almost to be listening to the woeful tale of young love lost and offering mature commiseration". That's nonsense. The song is hardly woeful. Its characteristic broadside slant offers scant depth of feeling. It remains very pleasant diversion, even understated, and McConnell sings it easily; but hardly has the impact of a Donal Og. Another comparison, this time with McConnell's rendering on a Boys album of 1973, reveals there a more relaxed approach still, without the constraints of regular rhythm but with Bain following the melodic line (an un-necessary addition in my view anyway). McConnell just about rescues this track here with his marvellously flowing voice; but, even so, look out how he seems to rush the line 'I spied a ship'. This follows a similar attempt in the earlier recording but the slight cranking up of the pace here is no help. A second particular effect, in the final stanza, where McConnell goes exceptionally high, again echoes the earlier recording … works. It's at this point that I began to wish that he'd sing at least one song unaccompanied and, as it were, un-constrained. I yield to no-one in my admiration of his capabilities in that sphere.
