Hopefully she and Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy are singing together somewhere... I always wished for that pairing but never got it. What a lovely lady. Go to her rendition of Tuna Casserole on Prairie Home Companion for Jean at her impish best.
I like folk songs best a capella, I don't know why, I'm sure traditionally they were as often sung with accompaniment, and yet somehow like this they transport me back in time. I hear a woman singing as she works, in the home, in the fields. Simple and beautiful.
Even as she got older she still had her beautiful voice. So many singers tend to lose their vocal abilities as they age. He voice is so pure.
RIP - a great Scots treasure lost - and barely a word of her passing.
She has the purest voice I've ever heard. Beautiful!
The First Lady of Traditional Scottish Song. Absolutely incomparable and irreplaceable. She will be missed. Rest in peace, bonny Jean!
Scotland has a very wonderful singer.
Her singing voice has impressed me deeply.

As natural as a bird.
not many voices survive without musical support
