| Leaves of Life 1989 #013 | |
A hauntingly beautiful collection of instrumentals based on the melodies of traditional ballads and songs from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Australia. Martin says, "These songs deal with real life, and Love and Death are therefore at their core; sometimes one, sometimes the other, sometimes both inextricably intertwined. There is love unrequited, love lost and found, and love feigned; also love of one's native land, and even incest and madness and murder." This album has developed a kind of cult status because of the incredible guitar playing and the amazingly lush sound of the recording. With Eric Aceto, violin and Hank Roberts, cello. "..Achingly sensitive." - FolkRoots. Songs include "Streets of Forbes"; "Bantry Girl's Lament"; "Jock O'Hazeldean"; "Lord Gregory"; "Lucy Wan"; "Banks of the Bann"; "Leaves of Life"; "The Fair Flower of Northumberland"; "Bonny George Campbell"; and "Greenfields of America".
