This song story resonates so well to what is happening this very day as another British soldier dies in Afghanistan. Can our different nations never live side by side together in peace?. We are,after all, just Jock Tamson's bairns.
Brilliant! I never knew these two had sung together. A technical question -- do you have, or can you point to, a higher-fidelity recording? This one has some of the flanging characteristic that mp3 adds to strings. (Of course, where Karan Casey is involved, there is always that yearning, that heavenly-perfection-just-beyond-reach feeling. What a voice. Thank you for posting this. I'll try to follow up tiddler6's Amazon clue below.)
i think i may be responsible for about 20,000 of these views...

Isn't it interesting how some of the finest music on youtube has such a small number of views?

@Natschaa81 Not sure about DVD, but the song without James Taylor is off The Winds Begin to Sing.

In a far off land in a lonely grave
Lies a man who died alone
Who fought so hard and gave his life
For his country and its throne
In a great big town in a great big house
Sits a man upon a throne
Who eats his fill and drinks a toast
To the man who died alone

It would be so good for either Karan or James to feature the other on a recording.
