I found this site today- it's a site for an international folk music radio station. It has an extensive collection of recordings from its programs, though you'll need to download RealPlayer in order to listen to them. But believe me, they're worth it. I've listened to the programs "Exile" and "Music as Magic" so far, and they're amazing.

Speaking of which, if anyone listens to "Music as Magic," there's an absolutely fantastic song at 49 minutes 14 seconds that I'd really love to hear more of. I think it's a version of "The Two Brothers," but the only verse you hear is:

Will you drink of the blood,
The white wine and the red?
Or will you go and see pretty Susie
When that I am dead?

I'd love to hear more of that recording...anyway, enjoy the site!

The words look like those from The Rolling of The Stones and you can find a version here in the DT: Rolling of The Stones (and there are links there to some discussion of the song).

(I've just had a look at the playlist for Music As Magic for the program and it is indeed The Young Tradition singing this on the Galleries LP.)
