Bold Riley - Kate Rusby

[russelldday]

I have been singing this with you all day...

Thanks for that!

[bunionfeet1]

Is bold Riley any relation to Dicey Riley?

[BashaPetania]

Does this song have any other names? I swear I've heard the tune before but it wasn't called this...

A fictitious character once said, "How could someone so beautiful seem so sad"

[MusicLover1920]

@Aggrevaine I know your post is from a year ago, but which fictitious character were you talking about?

[carollizc]

@MusicLover1920 Dicey Riley was the titular character of an Irish trad song. There's a lovely version of it here on YouTube, done by Sweeney's Men,

One of my favorite KateSongs...thanks for sharing:)

[LordInksworth]

This is such an incredible song. I feel every nuance. Kate's voice just charms me to bits. First time I heard this, I cried. I'm ok now though.

[MaNia69MuKe]

My favourite. :)

[Norfolkscot]

Think the instrument is a melodian.

I was looking for a version by The Wailin' Jennys and discovered Kate's amazing version. Her pure voice is a treat for ear and soul. Yes. Please. Come to America.

[wailinjennyfan]

the live wailin jennys c.d.,"live @ the Mauch Chunk opera house" , this song is on there. FANTASTIC, I hope you can find it and enjoy it

[tubite2]

Thanks for the information. I am a relatively new fan and just got the album (actually 3 of em). Hope to see them live soon. Any songs they perform will not disappoint I am sure. Same would go for Kate.

[wailinjennyfan]

@tubite2  We are planning on seeing them in alexandria virginia in april, its an 8 hour drive, but thats ok, thats as close as they are coming to us. Hope you can see them sometime. best talent out there

[tubite2]

hey wajefa - That's the ticket.

[JustAFocus]

@wailinjennyfan I second the recommendation of the Wailin' Jennys performance of this song. Kate Rusby's version is nice, but the Jennys' version blew me away. Just incredible three-part harmony and feeling.

[smeghead1851]

A superb version of this old sea shantey. Thanks, Kate ! When are you coming to visit us in the USA ?

This song has haunted me for several years now.....it never ends in my mind...like an old friend. Concertina brings out the sentimental lonesome in me.

[stewstryker]

A gorgeous song that has a very personal connection for me. I just wish this was an actual video of Kate playing it.
