They sound wonderful together. Their voices meld beautifully. She is my favorite singer and this is my favorite music. Need to marry into this culture.... I could only hope to listen to these sounds for eternity. THANK YOU
Was listening to Ms Casey, didn't quite expect to come across James Taylor and Jerry Douglas hanging with her. love that good musicians tend to find each other
A great song written by Ian Sinclair from Caithness, Scotland in the 1970s when he was part of the folk trio Mirk. Song often confused as traditional orgin - definitely captures the sentiment well. Superb performance!
So enjoyable, had to hear it again! Glad to discover James Taylor singing traditional Celtic music. Karan has a beautiful voice. The more I hear Celtic music, the more I love it !!
Que j'aime cette chanson, ces deux magnifiques voix et cet ensemble de musiciens talentueux. Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter. Peut-être ai-je du sang irlandais qui coule dans mes veines?
This video and song, one of the most beautiful Irish songs/arrangements I've heard, and I've heard a lot. Thank you for this beautiful experience. Thank you.
Ms. Casey has an really amazing voice - not to speak of her good looking physical presence of course! Thank you all for this beautiful Performance. So I wish you all clear skies and good landing.

Karans voice is strong as a whisper lovely the two n all
I have only recently discovered Karan Casey and have fallen in love with her and her music. No wonder James Taylor seems to be really enjoying singing with Karan.
In a far off land in a lonely grave Lies a man who died alone Who fought so hard and gave his life For his country and its throne In a great big town in a great big house Sits a man upon a throne Who eats his fill and drinks a toast To the man who died alone
Ahh, I hope James and Karan had a memorable time. It sure seemed like it. Interesting times indeed on this 2013. I miss Karan with Solas! Beannacht to all in the new year!!!
World class singers and arrangement. To be fair global phenomenon Taylor has to work a bit at this one but nevertheless demonstrating his pure tone unique vocal which totally makes the track more than just another folkie song. That's not to decry folike songs - I love the genre - but to hear Taylor in the midst for me raises it to another level. Beautiful was expected of this crew - fabulous this one:-)
I've loved Karan Casey's work from her days in Solas to the present. I love James' music as well & love that he's working outside of his comfort zone here. Silly question tho. Is that Dan Tyminski I'm spying on mandolin around 1:42 or so?
Yes that's Dan Tyminski. He was a guest on Transatlantic Sessions 3, as was Darrell Scott on the TAS 4. Take a look at the Upload-Section on my channel!
@@gcbfolk Will do. Thank you for posting these. I've been lucky enough to have seen Karan many times live. Both with Solas & solo with the Vallely's & once with Robbie Overton. Pretty magical stuff.
This song story resonates so well to what is happening this very day as another British soldier dies in Afghanistan. Can our different nations never live side by side together in peace?. We are,after all, just Jock Tamson's bairns.
Lyrics: Oh my love has left me with bairnes twa And that's the last of him I ever saw He joined the army and marched to war He took the shilling, he took the shilling and he's off to war Chorus: Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar! Take the king's shilling and you're off to war Well, did he look as he marched along With his kilt and sporran and his musket gun? The ladies tipped him as he marched along He sailed out by, he sailed out by the Broomielaw Pipes did play as he marched along And the soldiers sang out a battle song "March on, march on," cried the captain gay For king and country, for king and country we will fight today Chorus: Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar! Take the king's shilling and you're off to war Well, the battle rattled to the sound of guns And the bayonets flashed in the morning sun The drums did beat and the cannon roared And the shilling didn't seem, oh the shilling didn't seem much worth the war Chorus: Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar! Take the king's shilling and you're off to war Well, the men they fought and the men did fall Cut down by bayonet and musket ball Many of these brave young men Would never fight for, would never fight for the king again! Chorus: Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar! Take the king's shilling and you're off to war Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar! Take the king's shilling and you'll die in war...
gcbfolk, you might like to change the text of the heading to read: Lyrics [ [Iain Sinclair - The King's Shilling]. At the moment the impression given is that Karan Casey wrote the lyrics, which is not, in fact, so. Iain Sinclair is a superb songwriter whose songs are far too often uncredited or assumed to be "Trad". "Tak a Dram Afore ye Go" is another great song of his which far too frequently goes unattributed.
Such a sad, beautiful ballad, and these two sounded great singing it togetherWas James looking down at sheet music or lyrics the whole time, or was he playing something off-camera? Just curious...
Karan’s voice, no matter the tone of the song, upbeat or melancholy, always has me holding back tears. It’s indescribably beautiful.
I'd go with that - yup she's got a stellar voice. It's kind of edgy and super smooth at the same time.
Oh my God this is so Beautifull . These are 2 of my favourite singers they would bring a tear to a glass eye.
What a blend of voices. Superb !
Mike McGoldrick, great to see you sitting in there with some sweet notes!

I always love how, during the solo, the twin fiddles kind of mimic the sound of the pipes.
And that band! 👍💚
So enjoyable, had to hear it again! Glad to discover James Taylor singing traditional Celtic music. Karan has a beautiful voice. The more I hear Celtic music, the more I love it !!
This is a beautiful and very sad song. They play and sing it so beautifully.
I love these two together you can tell they are really enjoying singing together and this is different for James. They sound lovely.
@@cyndia6278 I drink alot I'm from Ireland so I would be considered an Alcoholic . But in my moments of clarity these songs calms the madness.
Karan & James who would've thought these two voices would come together absolutely great harmonies and wonderful musicians
Great voices but I thought they were singing in unison !
A gorgeous performance by hugely talented folks. Thanks for sharing this!
So beautiful. Thank you.
Beautiful song, beautiful clear voices.
Que j'aime cette chanson, ces deux magnifiques voix et cet ensemble de musiciens talentueux. Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter. Peut-être ai-je du sang irlandais qui coule dans mes veines?
Absolutely brilliant. Beautiful harmonies and superb backing. Masters of their craft...
This is the second reference to harmonies here but I thought they were singing in unision ?
Everyone musician in this video is so awesome and distinct. I love how I can tell it's Dan Tyminski on the mandolin just by the style of strumming.
I can say the same for Jerry Douglas's very distinctive dobro playing. There's probably more talent in that room than half of today's music industry.
I love to see how attentive James is!
Amazing. I just love this!!
Have listened to this tune a hundred times or more, It still has the power to move me. absolute class!
One of the great songs for sure. Thanks to you all!
This is one of my favourite ballads. So much feeling in the voices. Thank you Giusi for suggesting it.
It’s absolutely brilliant! Thank you! 🫶
This video and song, one of the most beautiful Irish songs/arrangements I've heard, and I've heard a lot. Thank you for this beautiful experience. Thank you.
Kristaps Gailis This is Scottish song

Such a great rendition.
Fabulous harmony together love listening to it
Since I saw Karan perform in Gouda (Netherlands) I'm a big fan of her. looking forward to a new show in the Netherlands.
Beautiful stuffBeautiful people
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful.
I've listened to this at least 12 times today.
Just beautiful..
Isn't it interesting how some of the finest music on youtube has such a small number of views?
YES IT IS --- STRANGE, ISN'T IT ????
Jerry Douglas is in the house!
Karen & John Doyle are playing at the Doolin Folk Festival on Saturday June 15th 2012.
A great weekend of music ... don't miss it !!
Love the song and video. Jerry Douglas is a superstar around here & wish you'd mention him. Thanks for posting. My best, Moppet
On the dobro?
GLASGOW KNOWS AND RESPECTS JERRY DOUGLAS, BUT THIS IS A Glasgow song xx
Ms. Casey has an really amazing voice - not to speak of her good looking physical presence of course! Thank you all for this beautiful Performance. So I wish you all clear skies and good landing.

Me too, me too, me too!
Beautiful. Great song made better by you both.
Would love to hear you both sing John Condon.
In a far off land in a lonely grave
Lies a man who died alone
Who fought so hard and gave his life
For his country and its throne
In a great big town in a great big house
Sits a man upon a throne
Who eats his fill and drinks a toast
To the man who died alone
I'll be at the Z in New Bedford on March 17th!
James is a fabulous singer.....but here he has to work, work, work....
There's a longer version of this where he talks about struggling with the informality of the session .. something he's not used to.
Now that’s what you call music ,,,,,,,,
Great song!
2nd verse 0:40
3rd verse 1:04
4th verse 2:03
5th verse 2:30
And I see Dan Tymenski on the mandolin. All star cast!
Beautiful really

Pure class
Wonderful stuff.

Maith thu Karan. My native village is proud of you. Up The Deise

@Natschaa81 Not sure about DVD, but the song without James Taylor is off The Winds Begin to Sing.

I’m still waiting for the harmonies. They were singing in unison the whole time...
The same group performed with Julie Fowlis - they're great.
Angelic sounds😭😭
Lyrics:
Oh my love has left me with bairnes twa
And that's the last of him I ever saw
He joined the army and marched to war
He took the shilling, he took the shilling and he's off to war

Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar!
Take the king's shilling and you're off to war
Well, did he look as he marched along

And the soldiers sang out a battle song
"March on, march on," cried the captain gay
For king and country, for king and country we will fight today
Chorus:

And the shilling didn't seem, oh the shilling didn't seem much worth the war
Chorus:
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar!
Take the king's shilling and you're off to war
Well, the men they fought and the men did fall
Cut down by bayonet and musket ball
Many of these brave young men
Would never fight for, would never fight for the king again!
Chorus:
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar!
Take the king's shilling and you're off to war
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar!
Take the king's shilling and you'll die in war...

Beautiful! Does anyone know the chord sequence for the last line of the verse?
Such a sad, beautiful ballad, and these two sounded great singing it togetherWas James looking down at sheet music or lyrics the whole time, or was he playing something off-camera? Just curious...

From Transatlantic Sessions?

Still here, still listening.
Sounds like he’s from Belfast in this song
