Jock Duncan - Tae The Green Woods Gaen [CD]

Jock Duncan has been described as 'A National Treasure'. Born in 1925 and raised on the farms of Aberdeenshire, Jock has been involved with the balladry of Scotland for all of his life and today is rightly regarded as the foremost of the nation's tradition bearers. Whether a big ballad or a comic cornkister, Jock's rich performance is matched by his knowledge of the history of the piece. There are seventeen songs on this album, twelve of which are set to musical arrangements. Includes lyrics for all songs.
