- Eliza Carthy - Worcester City (04:48)
I first heard Joseph Taylor when my Dad played me Creeping Jane, another of his songs. He was the first traditional singer to have a commercial release after Percy Grainger recorded him and put out Brigg Fair on a wax cylinder. I always loved his voice an - Eliza Carthy - Just As The Tide Was Flowing (08:00)
From the singing of Harry Cox. The Voice of the People series (on Topic Records) has been a massive source of material for me for this album. - Eliza Carthy - Limbo (04:24)
Thanks to Dad again for this one. It comes from a book called Marrowbones put out by the EFDSS.\n\n - Eliza Carthy - Little Gypsy Girl (02:11)
Joseph Taylor again. This sounds to me a bit like little orphan Annie singing about how swell her life is going to be. I imagine her and all her mates sitting around the fire having a good laugh at the end of it.\n\n - Eliza Carthy - No Man's Jig + Hanoverian Dance + Three Jolly Sheepskins (04:11)
The first and last tunes in this set are from Sleights in North Yorkshire, which, like many places in my area, had a longsword dance tradition collected by Cecil Sharp. The set is dedicated to the Goathland Plough Stotts, whose dedication to the continuat - Eliza Carthy - Pretty Ploughboy (05:21)
I love the fact that she grabs him at the end of the song and doesn't let go; not only does she go find her true love and rescue him from the press gang, but she pays for him as well, and we all know how girls are with bargains. Harry Cox sang this.\n\n - Eliza Carthy - Bold Privateer (07:10)
My Dad said he has been meaning to give me this song for about five years. I eventually held him in a savage stranglehold until he gave it up. It comes from a collection by John Broadwood, relative of Lucy. All the songs in the collection come from Surrey - Eliza Carthy - Dr McMBE (05:43)
I wrote this for my Dad's 60th birthday, though I admit he did not get it in time. He did get it in time for his honorary doctorate though, so happy birthday Dr Dad.\n\n - Eliza Carthy - In London So Fair (08:06)
I couldn't keep up the old exclusivity for long! This song comes from the singing of the wonderful Mary Ann Carolan, one of the greatest Irish singers of all time. My Mum goes gooey at the repeated line, where all is right with the world again. Big thanks - Eliza Carthy - Willow Tree (04:30)
This song is dedicated to Danny Stradling, because she thought that she had put it together as she sang it and I knew when I heard May Bradley sing it that it felt very familiar, and neither of us could place it! I remember Danny singing this through stay
