I know of the Watersons, and of Martin Carthy and Richard Thompson, and love them, but I had never heard this particular song, or this record. It conveys a sense of spiritual connection to the ancient landscape that we are all part of, that will be shared by anyone who has 'roved out on a winters day'. Deeply pagan and beautiful.

This song has really moved me.

I know of the Watersons, and of Martin Carthy and Richard Thompson, and love them, but I had never heard this particular song, or this record.

It conveys a sense of spiritual connection to the ancient landscape that we are all part of, that will be shared by anyone who has ‘roved out on a winters day’.

Deeply pagan and beautiful.
