Fantastic song and a great performance

There are many great female vocalists out there but if you're looking to hear a true artist -- look to June Tabor. Spare instrumentation, no laser beams, no special effects and I find myself riveted to the voice and musicianship. She has been quoted as saying she never had voice lessons -- if this is true, she is an even more gifted artist. Her imperfections are shallow compared to many other singers. Takes guts to sing this naked.

love June and Martin to bits. One day I'll post our version learned before we ever heard this version - even more spooky!

Hmmm. Would be better without the accompaniment? Couldn't follow the words.

gosh, Martin Simpson is such a badass....just a brilliant player/accompanist.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard. An' yes I know that Lal Waterson wrote it, I happen to much prefer this version. June Tabor has a most hauntin' voice. This rarely leaves me without a tear in my eye. Martin Simpson an' Tim Harries work on here is excellent.

This is a brilliant lesson in understatement. I wish that more performers understood that sometimes less is more. One of most haunting songs I have ever heard.

I disagree also. I'm moved by this rendition every single time I hear it. Long live June!
