Thread Name: origins of 'Two Ravens'
Subject: RE: origins of 'Two Ravens'
The note from dick greenhaus, above, reminds us of that neglected work of genius, 'The Long Harvest' by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger - 10 LPs of pure gold! This is where I first heard 'The Three Ravens' and many other ballads besides.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - THE 'LONG HARVEST' SHOULD BE RE-ISSUED IN CD FORM. The present generation should have the opportunity to experience this monumental work and be moved and informed by it as I was. I believe that 'The Long Harvest', and the subsequent 'Blood and Roses', set are as important, in their way, as Child and Bronson.
