Wild Mountain Thyme - The Byrds descargar videos gratis

"Wild Mountain Thyme," also commonly known as "Will You Go Lassie, Go" was first recorded by Francis McPeake in 1957 for the series "As I Roved Out" on BBC. We've found conflicting information on whether he actually wrote this song. Ireland the Songs, Volume 2, pub. 1993 Walton Mfg, Walton Music Inc. says, "He learned it from his uncle, which gives it definite Ulster credentials."

However, Eric Winter writes in the liner notes of the 1995 re-release of The Corries: In Concert/Scottish Love Songs:

... this is an elegant variant of a Scottish song by Robert Tannahill (1774-1819), "The Braes of Balquidder." The senior member of the McPeake family of Belfast, Francis I, wrote this version (the tune is markedly different from Tannahill's) and dedicated it to his first wife. Long after she died, he married again and his son, Francis II, wrote an extra verse to celebrate the marriage.
