Her voice is so beautiful...would love to see her live.

This kind of music does it for me. I love it.

This is an old folk song from at least as far back as 1903. It was recreated in the 1973 film Far From The Madding Crowd. All this predates the comments below.

Thank you so much for posting this! I heard Caroline Lavelle sing this in the San Francisco concert tour of Loreena's. It was such a treat to hear her sing!

I have to say I like "Bushes and Briars," though. In the original and in Seduction - Sub Dub.

In this area (Toronto) ravers did not tend to know a lot about English folk music. For Sub Dub, no one knew what the song was or what the lyrics were. It fell to me to figure out that Seduction's Sub Dub sampled "Bushes and Briars." Reaction to this was almost universally negative -- I guess it wasn't edgy enough. At least one DJ said he would never play it again. FWIW I never have found the actual version sampled, which has slight differences ('sport and play' not 'skip and play').

This is arguably one of the best versions of Bushes and Briars. It’s just such a pity that this particular recording is so poor.

0TedMaul0 you're wrong I knew that song cause my gran Ma sung that song when I was little kid and cause i heard from Loreena McKennitt live in L.A in 1998.

This song comes from live Rainy Night in L.A 1998. Caroline Lavelle, her cellist sing the song. this is devided into 2 part this is the first and in the second Loreena sing As I roved out one may morning.

@meandmymandola Yes, I realize that. I was merely pointing out that this version of the song is arranged and performed by Caroline Lavelle, not by Loreena McKennitt.

Nonetheless, it is quite enchanting to listen to. I like it

Sonnie Mynatt

sounds more like Susan Mckeown

SatNam

This isn't by Loreena McKennitt. This is done by her cellist, Caroline Lavelle, who is also a singer and composer. Love this version though.

la que canta no es Loreena, es Caroline Lavelle, su cellista.

You're like a musical hitler, the only way you can be worse is if you put J-Pop over it or something. Rave Music is the worst music ever.

WithdrawalFX

wasn't really a rave version, it just had a sample in it with some of the lyrics. The track was called "Young Birds" and is still one of my favorite hardcore tracks ever :)
