This beautiful performance by Mary Black served as one of the main inducements for me to purchase the Transatlantic Sessions 1 DVD set when it finally came out.
As achingly beautiful as anything I've heard her do. The simple sweetness of her voice, unembellished and unadorned, stirs the soul.
Never melodramatic, never bland, just honesty and sincerity from the heart.
Thank you so much for posting. I've had a mind to buy this DVD based on what I've previously found on YouTube. This has cinched it for me. I regret not having purchased it sooner. Truly an epic collection.
@fch1639 Note that the DVD is PAL format, not NTSC. PAL is the standard in Ireland. My DVD player won't play it....one of my computers won't play it.....two will.
@padraigpurseal This song was written by Richard Thompson, who Mary Black also holds in high regard. To hear Mary's cover a true Sandy Denny classic listen to "By the Time it Gets Dark" from this same Transatlantic Session. If you think this song is beautiful - and it is (quite staggeringly so) - wait until you hear that,
outstanding.

I remember this at the time and knowing how high Mary Black has always held the late Sandy Denny its easy to see why
