26 Mar 05 - 08:32 PM (#1444473) Subject: English/Scot/Child ballads - CDs? From: outfidel Can anyone recommend a good CD of traditional English/Scottish ballads, including Child ballads? I've started getting into the genre via songs like Bob Dylan's "Barbara Allen" & Doc Watson's "Matty Groves". Who are some of the modern masters for this stuff - Martin Carthy? Ewan MacColl? Thanks! |

From: Barry Finn Hi outfidel You could go to Heritage Collectors at http://www.heritagemuse.com/default.htm & check out the digital edition of Child's colection. It costs a few bucks but you'd be amazed at the songs, backround & the detailed info that the author, David Kleiman has amassed. Good Luck Barry Maybe someone could do up a link? Thanks |

My personal experience - I haven't received all the items I paid for (3 out of 5) and have received no replies to my emails. The last contact I had from them was 2 February 05 and I have sent several emails to them since that date. I would not be able to recommend buying from them, based on my own personal experiece. |

From: Susanne (skw) I bought my Heritage Collectors edition (data CD with the whole text of Child and music CD with a varied collection of recordings of sometimes seldom heard ballads by top singers) from our own Dick Greenhaus at Camsco Music and got it without problems. Definitely worth the money! Now who'll buy me the time to go through it properly? |
