Old Rosin the Bow (Traditional Folk Ballad) - Sam Shackleton

Singing a traditional folk ballad called “Old Rosin the Bow” at the beach on the beautiful Isle of Harris, Scotland. This is a class old folk ballad of Irish origin which is commonly sung across Scotland, Ireland, and the United States. I first discovered this song in John Lomax’s 1922 book “Cowboy Songs and other Frontier Ballads” and also through recordings of the legendary Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. This song will be featuring on my upcoming album, which will be announced very shortly - make sure to follow me on all platforms with the link in my bio to be the first to know! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
I’ve had a great time up North here on the Isle of Harris, spending some time with my mother for my 29th birthday a few weeks back, but I’m also looking forward to getting home and announcing this new album for ya all! Cheers, Sam. 🤘
