Used to be a massive Runrig fan, being a Sgianach. Saw them for 1st time at 14- had 1st pint in Camanachd same night. But.........................this is an appalling version of a Dylan classic.
This is from a period where Runrig did REALLY good B sides to their singles. If you haven't looked at the B sides, have a good look there are quite a few tracks which don't appear on anything else (except on the bonus CD with certain Long Distance albums)
The times . . . was one of their extras some years ago. It's releashed on a special limited edition CD from BBC Music. The album is called "The archive series" - BBC session and live at Royal Albert Hall, Glasgow '96
@RunrigFan But only on the 12 inch and CD versions - never managed to get either sadly, its one of the few things that my Runrig vinyl collection is missing, along with Protect and Survive on CD
Do you know than Sony refuse to me ( to my country, Canada) the right to listen this song cover by Tracey Chapman ??!!
I don't know why and they don't explain why they do that. They just take it off of my quicklist or playlist etc
Is there someone who know why they do that ?? Vevo did the same last month and now it's Sony.... Maybe they don't like people living in Quebec, Canada... coz people speak french?? It's really frustrating because i pay for buying the Chapman's CD's !!!
This was a favourite song of mine when I was younger (runrig's cover, not the original), and the song does seem to run strong parallels with recent scottish history.
I'm mad for Runrig--didn't know they did this song and I have to say it's a rousing version of the Dylan classic! Thanks so much for posting...now on to forward it to me darlin' daughter (who "discovered" the band and made me a fan).

Whoa...I was listening to a bunch of Runrig, then I wanted to listen to this song, so I typed it in.
I didn't know Runrig did this song...when this came up, I was like, "YES".

this was better than phil collins's version and it was cool that they said ministers rather than senators and congressmen
