DonegalRaymie... try the version by the OLD BLIND DOGS too ... the song is an Aberdeenshire Song, and OBD's are an Aberdeenshire band.. The version on Youtube still has Ian Benzies singing.. and he was awesome. give it a go. Jim's version, like Dick Gaughan's, is great too. ;o)
One of our favorite musicians in the world! Jim is up for the Scot Trad Music Awards 2008 Scot Singer of the Year! Check it out and vote for him (before 23 Nov 08)!!!
To infuse these "oldies" (two hundred years plus!) with such vitality and fresh melodic nuance is no small trick - this guy is a massive talent. (Not to mention the virtuoso harp playing!)
Jim is one of the best singers/songwriters to grace our planet. If ever the chance to see this wonderful artist in concert please go. He is absolutely brilliant!!!
He's probably one of my favourite voices ever. Keep it up, Jim!

Again, thanks for sharing. Just wondered how many in the audience in NC (North Carolina?), could understand the words he sings?
Or do you all see past the language barrier?
Whatever the answer, very good of you to share this! Big Ta!

Jim is the best harmonica player out there. Not to mention he has a great voice and can play well. And his soul is in it. GO JIM
