Martin Carthy's career in folk music is nothing short of phenomenal. Between his stints with Steeleye Span, the Albion Band, Waterson-Carthy (with wife and daughter) and his solo work, he has left his mark on music.
I came across this ballad when teaching English IV, "Brit Lit" and used it for a time. The ballad has murder, hidden gender and identity, magical elements, voices from beyond, revenge, justice, and true love. All in about ten minutes!
Enjoy the vocal, the guitar artistry, and most of all, the story!
