Heather Alexander - Laddie Are Ya Workin'

[VarangianCelt]

Blue, it was written for another series.... Betsy, it's actually a work song, sung by Irish slaves on Moorish plantations, in an alternate history. The album is WELL worth getting.

@VarangianCelt

The book it is based on is also good.

@VarangianCelt I guess that would explain the teff.

It sounds like... standing in a field at the beginning of a thunderstorm. The cool and clean scent of rain, but the heated, charged feel of the electricity. Like being rocked to sleep by the thunder and jolted awake by the lightning.

That's what I hear in this song.

Maybe I'm crazier than I thought.

no matter how many times i hear this song, it never fails to paint me a picture of magic and the southern america before the war. the feeling of voodoo, mysteries and the rythm goes straight to my heart

perhaps it's silly of me, though...

@water14789 I'm from South Carolina originally and it reminds me of the old plantations back home. Charleston is so full of history that you can taste it on the breeze.

This is such an amazing post-Change song that I'm amazed S.M. Stirling hasn't appropriated it yet.
