One of my favourite performances of the Cherry Tree Carol is
this incomplete recording of Paul Sartin singing it in 2018. Are there any extant full recordings of him singing the song during his career?

Paul Sartin sang Cherry Tree Carol in 2009 on Belshazzar’s Feast’s WildGoose album Frost Bites. He noted:

In this Appalachian version of the ubiquitous song, the story of which is derived from St Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus’ birthday is given as 5th January, the date of Christmas day in the Old Style or Julian calendar between 1752 and 1799. Taken down from William Wooton at Hindman, Knott County, Kentucky by Cecil Sharp and Maud Karpeles and printed in their 80 English Folk Songs.
