    One of the best female folk voices of the last fifty years.

    I heard this song on a folk station in second life ... and it just blew me away. I listened about 15 times ...the lyrics, beat and harmonies and build up are all amazing. Wow. I am still blown away.

      Back in the olden days before youtube I'd record the Celtic connections radio show that would play on our local classical station every Sunday night. Blooming Heather was the first song of hers I'd heard and I feel head over heels in love with her voice, I was probably 14 or 15. I'm 32 now with three kids, and other than Bing crosby, we listen to Kate rusby every Christmas morning.

    Literally every song Kate puts out is perfect, she has the most beautiful voice and the Harmony‘s were terrific and so was the instrumental

    The Chorus "Oh darling let's go over" reminds me of Allison Krauss's "As I went down in the River to Pray". Both traditionals have Blue Grass roots. Not sure which singer I prefer. Both Kate & Allison are exceptionally gifted voices who give me the shivers.

      I thought this was a traditional piece when I first heard it, but then looked it up later and it seemed to be a Kate Rusby original.
      Seems very very traditional to me (possibly Appalachian?) but then again I suppose she could simply have borrowed it from that style.

      @@KittyStarlight You're probably right. Kate's genius is creative enough to be the source of traditionals on herself. I owe her an apology for my unintended impertinence. Thanks, Kitty for pointing that out.

      It's the banjo I think. An African instrument, which made its way to British folk by way of America.

      @@filipo876 She's a modern folk visionary, writing songs that seem right out of the british empire, and they are just her being a master of her genre. And like someone else here said, it's the banjo. That glorious instrument is one of the best things that ever happened to world music.

    I love the banjo, It's much underrated, probably by the influence of stuck-up classicists.
    The late Barney McKenna, of the Dubliners, was a terrific exponent of the banjo. And, Btw, I love classical music.

    • @ctwebacc
