A complex and enjoyable medieval influenced folk romp. There’s plenty of modern interpretation.Kemp’s Jig isn’t a jig. Sir Gavin Grimbold heads off on hies horse with his sword, but the horse returns without the brave rider leaving his pregnant wife and mother with a barn to build and the crops to cut … Johnson the valiant one of three butchers stops to aid a woman’s cry only – part of a highywaymen’s trap. he stands his grounds and kills 9 of the 10 before the woman takes the knide form his side and stabs him in the back. A hue & cry is rasied and she is taken to Newgate in irons for klling the finest butcher ” as ever the sun shone on”
The Unquiet Grave is a tradiitonal song about a young man mourning over the grave of his lost love.
Astrologer: hilarious harlot playing the maid gets her cummupence and the astrolger gets a crown. Hmm not many tracks have three part recorder breaks in them. A medieval Golf Girl. The Devil and the Farmer’s Wife exhibits a similar sense of humour.
I love it. One of those albums that’s not just great listening but guaranteed to cheer you up.
An excellent additon …..
