If you could only own one MacColl recording, this ought to be it!,
By Bob Fischer "Bob" (Bill) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chorus From the Gallows (Audio CD)
I discovered Ewan after he had passed away and eagerly accumulated as much of his material as I could. Sadly, much of his music has never been digitalized or converted to CD format. Happily, this album was! Though it is tough to find and often very expensive, any amount of money is appropriate for even just the "Lag's Song." In the "Lag's Song," Ewan's voice is hauntingly beautiful, and the lyrics capture the ideas of lost dreams and lost youth in a most profound and beautiful way. You will weep.
The rest of the album is no slouch. One of the many things I love about this recording is that (like much of MacColl's work) it is themed. Each song has to do with the subject of crime, and crime's subsequent consequences. Some are fun and make you smile while others are heart-wrenching. Ewan is such an important figure in folk music, and it is a shame that his music is not more widely known and widely available. This is certainly one of my "desert island" albums. Don't pass on this one!
