If anyone has the time, or the inclination, could you please send me ANY Mary Black videos that you have? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Jason
When you get to the end you can tell that everyone involved with this recording knew they had just been part of something truly special. Mary Black is an Irish national treasure, and if her rendering of this song doesn't bring a tear to your eye for its sheer beauty then you must be something less than human.
During these sessions many Sandy Denny songs were covered. Mary Black in her career has covered at least 8 of Sandy's songs. Almost an album full. Theres a thought
When she says light up your face at 1:57, the whole performance lifts from everyone, you can just see it in mary black's face, brings a smile to my face, shivers everytime! perfect!!
@tishierkrisis i was!!!! i was working in the hotel at the time of this recording working extremely long hours for 2 weeks looking after them and on the last day i did a rap for them after dinner before the end of recording party.
For me this is one of the highlights of the Tr.Atl. Sessions. Blacks' voice, Emylou's harmony, Douglas' dobro, the rhytm, the words. Addictive, I love it.
(1) Goddammit I have never heard this song before, and
(2) Emmylou Harris has just an otherworldly voice for harmonies. Truthfully I am not a huge fan of her voice as a lead singer, but I don't know of another voice that blends and supports better for harmonies.
@nlandess I totally agree. even when she sings with Willie Nelson it just becomes magic. Trio is fantastic, and I'm sure Linda Ronstadt and Dollie Parton are not the easiest folks to sing with. But I love all three.
As a new fan of Emmylou's , I had to agree that I felt the same way about her being better with harmonies . But if you listen to Pieces of the Sky , I believe it was her first album , that version of Boulder to Birmingham and Too Far Gone are some of the most beautiful vocals I have ever heard - those songs won me over as a fan of Emmylou's.
I have just bought the set of four from Amazon on a dvd; it's amazing, and is about five hours long; I haven't yet watched it in its entirety, but what I have seen is amazing. I hope you manage to get it.
I just bought Transatlantic One and Three from music Scotland website. Prices and shipping were reasonable. I believe One is out of print. This song is my favorite of ALL of the three sessions. There's a lot a beautiful music there and the most talented acoustic musicians in the world.
Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever".
All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.
This was recorded for the BBC programme Transatlantic Sessions, A series of about 8 programmes, of which I have about 6 on tape. It was hinted at the end of the series that there would be another series, Not So unfortunatly. It was a brilliant series.

You must have missed TS2 (7 progs, 1998). Samples aren't too hard to find on yootoob. Material for a potential TS3 was recorded this spring.
