There was a lot of beautiful music created in that scene, but it doesn't get much more sublime than this track!
Interestingly, two Americans, the producer Joe Boyd and the singer/songwriter Jackson C Frank were important figures in the 60's English folk scene. I think you'd find it worth checking out Frank's recordings, Bluestate.

@ozruby thanks for the info on this track! i'm just starting to familiarize myself with the incredible folk scene of England in the sixties and seventies. its a shame that music didn't find its way to this side of the pond. bert jansch is also incredible. it also seems that it was a pretty tight nit group as well (all of the folk artists and musicians in 60's & 70's England).
Prodigious and powerful song, performed by prodigious and poweful Sandy, probably as Queen Mary was. Emotions cross the ages... We really have invented noting in the human soul.

422 years to the day since the execution. I'm listening to this over and over. Sandy was only 21 and RT only 19 when this was recorded. Two phenomenal talents.
