Aly Bain - My luv is like a red red rose

[andrewshere]

Now how can that man introduce Aly Bain and not mention the great Phil Cunningham on piano? What a modest man Phil is, playing the quiet sideman here.

[MrBluegrassfiddler]

Mairi Rankin's '' Hey Johnny '' has similar features in this melody. I suppose that is where she borrowed parts of this tune.

My favorite moment is 0:00 - 3:00

[Snufkin091]

[heehawluck1]

@Snufkin091 I agree with you....but the way he's playing it is even more amazing.

[celticdollface]

Marry me Aly !! :-)

[1xstew]

[celticdollface]

@1xstew

awww well I did consider it for a minute there Stew, but unless you look like the sainted Aly and play the fiddle like him, then I have to regretfully refuse your kind offer ;-) :-)

[1xstew]

fantastic . . wish i could make my fiddle sound like that . . might do one day LOL

[itmusicallyfits]

Such a beautiful tune,Aly is such a great fiddler....I hope to be half so good before I'm done with the instrument!What an incredibly beautiful fiddle he has....wonder who made that one?

[doctorpsycho1960]

Very enjoyable.

[jimjackman15]

I want to go to Scotland to listen to this man

[itmusicallyfits]

Deffinetly would be worth it...I watched him a few years ago in Shetland and its an experience that I'll never forget!While your here you should also try and see Jenna Reid,Duncan Chisholm and Lauren MacColl to name a few of Scotlands incredible fiddlers.

[zephyrquartz]

Lovely air, Aly.

[lorene31513]

This music is of the heart. Just lovely....no matter how you spell love or it's original name. Just enjoy.....

[reelin1]

I wish I had this on an endless loop. It drains away all cares. Is that Phil Cunningham on the piano?

[pastore0506]

It is.

[jessilu]

@reelin1

Yes that's the great Phil Cunningham on piano!

[arthur1062]

stunning, amazing tone and playing, thank you .

[JLAVA007]

I dont think the tune would be as beautiful without our knowing the words set to it somehow.

[GEORGEROV]

Sorry to be pedantic but this tune is called " Low Down in the Broom", a tune that was set to the poem "A Red, Red Rose " by Robert Burns but not with his approval.  He preferred the tune "Major Graham " composed by Neil Gow. Aly , superb musician that he is would be the first to agree!. So enjoy listening to a traditional Scottish tune but don't give Robert Burns the credit for it.

[LSUBuff]

Very interesting.

Is there any internet site where I can hear the tune "Major Graham?" (I found nothing on YouTube.)

[webelongtoelvis]

oh this made me cry, how lovely..

aly bain if ever i meet you again, i buy you a whisky my friend

you are a diamond

[Macangusagain]

Aly Bain,the magnificent Scottish fiddler playing a tune written by Rabbie Burns,Scotlands magnificent lyricist and poet,how very sweet that is !!! Albainn Gu Brath

[awnok]

Isn't luv spelled love?

[pawnsdream]

Usually but not in this case :o)

[awnok]

I must go listen to `Aold Lung Sine` now.

[caterthun]

Good idea but take some spelling lessons on your way.

[tullochgorum]

@caterthun

Pretty sure Burns spells it "Luve"

[heehawluck1]

@awnok Naw, ya whelp!!

[Lorri555]

So sweet and beautiful! Here's a dram to you Aly!

Lori

[anacortesrocks]

Isn't his name spelled Aly Bain? I only remark because if others are looking for his playing this hit may not come up. I only found it because I was looking for this particular tune.

[pawnsdream]

Yes you're right. Thanks for pointing that out :o)

[racheandsash]

breathtaking...

[helensimpson]

i grew up with this music and it always make me ache for something...

[scotswhahae10]

This is so beautiful, Ally Bain and Rabbie Burns, what a combination
