Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Corries
Subject: RE: Lyrics re The Corries
I have been a Corries fan since 1963 when Electra Records put out a Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell record here in the states I can't think of a better group to be introduced to Scottish folk music with than that bunch of singers. I buy any Corries record or CD I find and I own both of the Videos available and find them to be both great. Roy and Ronnie had and have remarkable voices. Roy's was deceptively so. I own copies of both of their song books, one published in about 1971 and another, more recent book of about 40 tunes. Gavin Browne is selling a CD of the Corries with Bill Smith but without Paddie Bell that I find most delightful. Gavins site is easy to find, just search "Corries."
