xthreadCan anyone direct me to a suitably rocking performance of the Irish traditional, Rambling Rover?
Back in the day, a friend of mine's band did a rock performance of it, but that's long lost on a cassette that I don't want to deal with resurrecting. I've looked on the web a bit, all I can find are very earnest performances, and Boiled in Lead's, which I'm afraid has been dipped in the Punk vat a few too many times. Well, things that are transforms of Gypsy Rover like Steeleye Span's Black Jack Davy, which is the same song with a slightly different spin, but only for neo-trad values of 'same song.' I'm looking for something which has at least as much rock going on as Abney Park's performance of Stretched on My Grave. Well, preferably more. You get the idea. A bit higher energy performance by Kate Rusby would do nicely, I think.
Y'know, something that reminds you that ten thousand orcs are about to come screaming over the hillside, looking to discuss your intentions regarding their sister.
