专辑简介
After seven albums of original songs, Andrew Calhoun turned his keen ear for language to translating a set of dramatic folk ballads - some with medieval roots - from Scots dialect into contemporary English. Telfer's Cows is the result: a dozen ballads, some new variations on familiar themes and some great stories rescued from the dustbin of oral history. Among the standout tracks are Eppie Morrie, a song which escaped the folk revival, probably due to its adult content; and the previously unrecorded Telfer's Cows, dealing with a border skirmish over stolen cattle in the early 1600's.
Featuring Tracy Grammer (vocals, violin), William Pint (octave mandolin, vocals), Felicia Dale (hurdy-gurdy, bodhran, vocals), Donny Wright (bass), Elizabeth Nicholson (harp, vocals), Bob Soper (fiddle, mandola, vocals), Joe Root (accordion), Kate McGinn (vocals) and Rob Stroup (vocals).
