John Barbour is better placed here than after Hetmethead, but the Rochester audience was either talking or singing with Sean. There didn�t seem to be a middle ground where people were listening. This song is very powerful live - it is worth listening to, and not singing along with. I would hate to see it leave the set list as Widow in the Window did early in the No Cares Tour. It�s such a powerful song as it winds up to the end. And what a beautiful whistle part!
I love the whistle work on this album. At first I missed the fiddle, but I think I�m over that now. Hopefully I�ll hear some fiddle in the trad album. But of course I'd also like to hear more bagpipes and accordion and whatever else Bob chooses to play. Heh! |
