'Monymusk Lads' ~ Old Blind Dogs

[sztrapacska73]

Is this a newer version of the silly wizard's or is this the original one?

[SilverWolfMoon]

@sztrapacska73 'Monymusk Lads' is a traditional song from Aberdeenshire. Silly Wizard released their version in 1978, and this version is from 2003 - but the central instrumental is a modern piece called 'The Grappa Grove', composed by Eilidh Shaw (sister of Capercaillie's Donald Shaw).

@tomconoboy Whoops!

Darn it - I have every album and I do know, but when I answered that I must have confused this with my upload of 'Johnny O' Braidislee' from "Five".

Who is the lead singer?

[PuerRidcully]

My favourite song of OBG is The Birkin Tree, but I think it can't be found on youtube. This one here is so so.

prefer 'pills of white mercury' to birken tree, tbh

Love Old Blind Dogs and this song is fantastic. Cuts right to the core of one's being!

You have excellent taste in music:)

[SilverWolfMoon]

Thank you :)

OBD are one of my favourite bands, and, for me, it is founder-member {and only remaining original member} Johnny Hardie's fiddle playing that makes them stand out from the crowd...
