Ewan Maccoll & Peggy Seeger - Classic Scots Ballads

The recording [1959] is admittedly a bit dated now, but the passion is definitely still there. Ewan MacColl contributes the main part of the vocals, with able support from Peggy Seeger, whose guitar and banjo provide a sparse but solid backup. Amongst the fourteen offerings, you'll find excellent versions of "Aikendrum" and "The Banks of the Nile."

1. Aikendrum
2. The False Lover Won Back
3. The Gairdener Chyld
4. The Maid Gaed To The Mill
5. The Elfin Knight
6. The Banks Of The Nile
7. Hughie Graeme
8. Johnny Lad
9. Mormond Braes
10. Glasgow Peggy
