For everyone that loves this song, as sung by the Corries. Listen to the version on their album The Bonnie Blue. It is even more beautiful than this version. It is also a live recording but in my opinion even more amazing than this one.
By the way,everyone who loves the Combolins should check out Benny Tetteh-Lartey,another Scotsman who's carrying the baton now with his own version of the Combolin called a Combuitar which he built himself.Check out his song'Lift Your Wings',it's beautiful.
This is the best Corries song for me,when I was a young boy my father played this to me,it was the first time I'd heard the Combolins and was instantly mesmorised.I had this played at my father's funeral 2 years ago and will have it played at mine when I die.Thank you mandolina6 for all the songs you have put up on youtube for everyone to experience,it's fantastic to know that more and more people are realising the magic and beauty of The Corries.
When I first heard this song I was 13 watching Tumbledown - an amazing film. I've always sung the song to my self and have only just discovered this original recording.
An amazing version that has truely influenced me. Thank you.
for the love o the wee manee was there ever a duo like these twa?
