I found this on the web --- it seems to indicate that my disk is misnamed (with track 12 being Michael Gorman's on my disk, whereas this say's it should be track 6).
OLD HAG:
1 Music In The Glen - 3 reels:
Music In the Glen
Humours of Scarriff
Otter's Holt/The Aughdarra
6 Michael Gorman's - slip jig,slide,reel,reel
Michael Gorman's/Bells of Tipperary
Cunla (similar to 1st 2 parts of Frieze Breeches)
Road to Lisdoonvarna
nameless reel
7 16 Come Next Sunday - Song
8 Old Hag You Have Killed Me - 3 jigs:
Old Hag You Have Killed Me
Dinny Delaney's. Slide? aka The Hag at the Churn?
Morrisons' Jig
9 Calum Sgaire
10 The Kid on the Mountain - slide,slide,slip jig
Rosie Finn's Favourite
Over the Water to Charlie
The Kid On the Mountain
11 Tiochfaidh An Samhradh - Song
12 Laurel Tree - 3 reels:
Billy Bunker/Billy Brocker
(similar to Kiss the Bride in Bed/Kilfrush)
The Humours of Loughrea/Tommy Whelan's
The Laurel Tree/Killavel Reel
The nameless reel concluding the Michael Gorman's set on this record is called Molly Ban. This set also appears on the Live at the BBC record, but Cooley's replaces Molly Ban on this recording
Yes I learned it by ear in Em, but all of the versions I can find online are in other keys like Ador or Gmix. Wonder which version is more popular in sessions? Anyone?
...but I prefer "Out of the Wind". This one is classic "second album syndrome" where the band has released a brilliant first recording and then is expected to come up with the goods again pretty quickly while touring non-stop.
On that basis it's still a great album and contains many of the "classic" sets and songs, subsequently immortalised as live versions as well. But to my ears it is very similar to the first one and Kevin Burke is demonstrably finding his feet here.
Recorded in Wales, this was the Bothy Band "getting it together in the country" with mixed success.
Do you really think that this album is a classic example of the second album syndrome, lysaghtm? I like it much better than the first album because it is so different, not so similar. On the first album most of the sets start out relatively tame and then just get louder and wilder, whereas here the sets have many more changes in dynamics. The songs also have very interesting arrangements, whether it's the harmony of Fionnghuala or the blending of stringed instruments and harpsichord on Tiocfaidh an Samhradh.
And as for Kevin Burke still finding his feet here, I don't hear any sub-par fiddling here; his renditions of Otter's Holt and Billy Bunker's are outstanding, with wonderful rhythm, as is his accompaniment to 16 Come Next Sunday. Should I even mention Farewell to Erin?
I just had to disagree with you about this album, which is one my favorites--up there with Out of the Wind into the Sun.
I'm surprised no-one argues the statement that what is listed here as "Billy Brocker's" (or Bunker's) is in fact repeatedly named "Lucy Campbell" on numerous recordings since it has three or four parts. What I think to be Billy Brocker's only has two parts.
And yes, those two parts are the first two of Lucy Campbell, at least to my ear...
This is confusing... to me at least
I can't make sense of your first sentence at all. BB's has 2 parts, LC's has 4. I have no problem in distinguishing between the 2, despite their similarities. Look at the respective "abcs", or sheet music and the differences are obvious.I've always thought "BB"'s to be more like the first of the 2 "Crowley's" reels in D. Certainly, on this recording the reel played is "Billy Brocker's". I don't know of any recording where the 2 tune titles are mixed up.
Track 12 of "Old Hag"
RE: Old Hag You Have Killed Me, Bothy Band, track 12.
This track is called "Michael Gorman's" but I could not find a tune by that name in the archive's here.
What are the names of the tunes in that track?
TIA
