Archie Fisher: The Witch of the West-mer-lands (Cover)

[fingal42]

A great effort. I've been lucky enough to see Archie sing live, and he's a compelling singer. I think he would like your version.

Great cover, why have you change the title of the song 'west-mer-land'?

[folksongwriter]

@hetrodoxly Thanks for the nice comment. I titled the song in the same way the songwriter, Archie Fisher, titled it on his album, "The Man with a Rhyme."

Ok, He must have wrote it phonetically (i think he did this with some of his other songs) Westmoreland is an area of the lake district.

You might find this of some interest, search for "kirkstone pass inn" on youtube, History of the ghosts.

I found this by accident searching for new songs for me to perform. This is the first time I've heard it, I loved it. Your relaxed style and crystal clear voice really touched my heart. Well done, and thank you. And yes I think I'll use the song.

I love you and that song! perfect! I wish more people would be like this..

Wow, that was super! I am a die-hard Archie Fisher fan and once swore that nobody could top his recording of this song on "Man With a Rhyme". However, you have performed magic here. Thanks for sharing your talented interpretation of this other-worldly, amazing song. You do it justice and then some. Neat!

This is what YouTube was meant for. You have enriched my life. Thank you.

This is an excellent cover! Didn't the great Stan Rogers cover this as well? I've got a kinda rare record album called "Off the Map" with Archie Fisher and Garnet Rogers (obviously Stan's brother). If you don't have that album you must pick it up! I think it is available online in CD format nowadays. Archie is fantastic! 5 stars!!!

that was ver nice! I have loved this song for many years and just now "googled" it to hear other covers. I think you sang it very well. Thank you!

[folksongwriter]

Thanks everyone. This is one of my most favorite songs by one of my most favorite singer/songwriters.

[DancingFalcons]

This is as good as anything. Your voice is haunting-- I am glad to have dropped by to listen!

If you made a CD and included this song on it.... I would love to purchase one. I just love your voice and the way you sing this song.

As you know, Hol, Archie is my favorite. This awesome interpretation of "The Witch of the West-Mer-Lands" goes straight to my heart - Archie would be proud - as am I.
