This
split 7" record is being released in tandem with the compilation album
Whaur the Pig Gaed on the Spree: Scottish Recordings by Alan Lomax
1951-’57.
The A-side of the single is Alasdair Roberts’ own arrangement and performance (with renowned Scottish singer Karine Polwart) of “Captain Wedderburn’s Courtship,” a tradi-tional ballad included on Whaur the Pig… from the mouth of an octogenarian farmer named Willie Mathieson. The flipside features another young and talented traditionally-minded Scots singer, Drew Wright, who turns in an interpretation of the classic Scots border ballad, “The Dowie Dens O Yarrow.”
