852 ( Steeleye Span - Edwin )

852 ( Steeleye Span - Edwin )

For some reason I felt like picking something in the Folk/Prog Rock genre today and this one from Steeleye Span fit my mood quite well. Edwin is another traditional folk song that Steeleye Span covered in their own style.
As with many Traditional Folk songs this is a rather sad one featuring the theme of lovers being separated by death. This is also one of their songs that did not feature the lead vocal talents of Maddy Prior, instead bassist Rick Kemp provided lead vocals; she did, however, perform the whispering in the song.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24
My song pick two years ago today: Jethro Tull - Ring Out Solstice Bells
