Black Jack Davey

[Joannegmurphy]

I totally love this song and the amazing thing is, I discovered it completely by accident! I was actually searching online for a song by the Incredible String Band with the same title, but it was basically an instrumental. Anyhow, this song is what came up and I never did find the other. But now I LOVE this song--I play it constantly.

wow how pure is that voice...name 1 modern artist that can touch that....maddy 4eva x

@SexySpeedDemon Hard to find - one comes to mind though, Jenny Wilhelms from Finnish (representing Swedish speaking minority) folk/ethno band Gjallarhorn (don't confuse with 'newcomer' a 'Viking Metal' band of the same name from Italy!). Jenny has been sometimes described as Maddy Prior and Sandy Denny combined. I think however that Maddy is Maddy, Sandy is Sandy and Jenny is Jenny - all great.

E.g. search for 'I riden sa'
