@multidean thanks.The Famous Flower of Serving-Men by Martin Carthy was on you tube but it's now gone! Awesome song make the hair on your neck stand up & bring a tear to the eye. The story is reversed he poses as a woman. Anyone got that please upload it.

The only bit on you tube of this song is a 1 min intro the guitar part. The king of laois by the Chieftains has also gone from you tube.

[futureguitar1]

Other great songs by Pentangle - The lonely mountain (not on you tube at the mo) Willy O Winsbury - The hunting song - Rain & snow - Paddy's song aka the Celtic Wiccan (think that's what it's called) I'll be adding these to my play-list (favourites)

@futureguitar1 the trees they do grow high ( its on youtube ! )

[futureguitar1]

The most beautiful music & voice to match. Has brought a tear to my eye more than once..yet also heart warming. One of my favourite of theirs. Can imagine my Irish ancestors travelling to the land of liberty (USA) I suspect. While some came to England.

[damongirl66]

Thank you so much. I needed to cry and this has helped me immensely.

[albatross7677]

One of their best albums. This song has always been one of my favorites. Brings back memories of my youth, many years ago. TIMELESS!!

[SupernalOne]

Go on, Jaqui, break my heart -- please - 

[proggoth]

For some reason the way she says the word "heart" @ 2:32 makes a tear come to my eye.

[MultiDean75]

@proggoth you should hear the way she says "gold" in willy of winsbury......aural orgasm :-)

[proggoth]

@MultiDean75 It's almost bi-syllabic. Nice to know others appreciate these subtleties...

I was introduced to this wonderful group by one of those 60's compilation discs. Pentangle did Pete Seeger's Turn, Turn, Turn. I've managed to get a few CDs by Pentangle, but can't find the one that's from. Anyone know? I like this group enough I'd get anything by them. I'm listening to the BBC sessions pretty heavy lately, and there's some excellent videos from there posted here.

Wow, THIS is a total flashback! I think I wore out this album playing it over and over back in the day... Thanks for posting it!

[SUZANNELKN]

That song youre speaking of (maid that is deep in love) is also done by Grateful Dead as 'Wind and Rain'.

[lsdmadman]

most intensely cool...cruel sister is the album and one that is wonderful as DAYSLONG

[n1a31y161r]

THIS IS NOT CRUEL SISTER!! This is A Maid That Is Deep In Love - Cruel Sister is a myth about two sisters, one dark, one fair, who fancy the same bloke and this dark sister drowns her fair sister and marries him - her body is found, a harp is made from 3 strands of her hair and one of her ribs - it sounds out the truth in the church of it's own accord on the wedding day...

[BRANOFNF]

Yeah it's the first song from the CS album. It does say that if you read the information at the side.

Anyway, yeah I know a song that's a lot like that called The Swans Swim so Bonny, where the girl who's drowed gets turned into a swan, and it's the swan's bones that get used to make a harp. I'm trying to make an arrangement for it atm so maybe I'll put it up on here I dunno'.

[fop27]
