I've just listened to a new CD by Susan McKeown - "Lowlands" Green Linnet. On it is one powerful song "Dark Horse on the Wind" "Written by Liam Weldon, it is both an ode to and a lament against the battle for Ireland's freedom. McKeown tackles this one a cappella with stunning results. Her powerful voice is clear yet wavers with the raw emotion this song demands, and she delivers it with such a grace and passion that the listener can be moved at once to tears over the horrors of war and a patriotic rage -- no matter where your place of birth - against those who seek to use and twist that battle for their own purposes." The lyrics are posted earlier in this thread. Liam Weldon is new to me, but what I've read in this thread and elsewhere, I have just ordered his reissue CD "Dark Horse on the Wind." BTW, the other songs on the CD "Lowlands" are also quite good for trad Irish and English songs, and I highly recommend it.
