Isobel Anderson singing Scottish folk song 'Black is the Colour' in an English pub after a few pints. Filmed by Jarrad Seng. www.isobelanderson.com www. isobelandersonmusic
go back in time and they will find, that the land of the scotts was giving its name by the irish..we have more in comin than people know, celts ,the way of living, religeon, some of the best worriers that's walk this earth! we have traded with each other for thousands of years, I am celt and prod to be!!
But then the romans left and we became Anglo-Saxons then Anglo-Danes and then Anglo-Normans. a lot of people misunderstand who the Normans were claiming they were simply French however the word Norman gets its name from "North men" which is heralded by the Vikings that settled in northern France and became "domesticated".
I am 72 and I know and love this song.I used to sing it at least 50 years ago. I think I first heard it at the singers club in London sung by Ewan Macoll. Isobel sings it beautifully.It has made me feel sad and nostalgic. A very pure version, thank you Isobel for making an old lady happy on this wet dreary morning. Jilly Griggs
I listen to this every night. I'm obsessed with her melodies and the background pub atmos. I want to hear her sing this acapella for the rest of my life haha
Auxiira...this talking shows true atmosphere... It's rustic and if you think about it, it's the equivalent of having a duke box in a bar...people still talk with ambience :)
Not only a beautiful voice and performance but love the passion that enables her to be totally oblivious of the noisy pub background - chatter, creaky doors and all! Formidable :)
It's Jo Morrison, Mimidharp is here tag on youtube. Her harp is the best of this song. I lost the studio quality version....but man....it was soooooooooo great.
Its an old Appalachian tune. What's dope is that Appalachian music had strong Scottish and Irish roots, and Isobel has brought it full circle by singing it in the old-world style
I'd never heard it before but know and love this artists music regardless. Very 'Siren' & I'm guessing traditional?! Pleeeease put it on an album..it's beautiful!
This Isobel Anderson tune of a classic is hugely sad, yet a happy release of sadness. Her voice is conditioned to be able to do those " lilts". Kind of a half octave break while still keeping the tune.( my untutored way of describing it). Wish I had been there at this recording.
I think it would be the best if she records this in a studio with a quiet surrounding with no music whatsoever, just her voice voice alone. It's the kind of song that make people stop and listen quietly while being drown in her beautiful voice
an Irish singer singing an age old Scottish song in an English pub, Well and truly loved by this Welshman

Stuart Ross Even us english were celts all made up of celtic tribes...before the romans invaded

The background noise accompanies the singing so well

I have this "1%" rule that's pretty standard/average across the board. This totally exceeds that figure...her voice is sensational!!
I think it would be the best if she records this in a studio with a quiet surrounding with no music whatsoever, just her voice voice alone. It's the kind of song that make people stop and listen quietly while being drown in her beautiful voice
This is why British musicians are the best
Sweet :-)
I wonder how nobody spares her a look.
Blond is the color of my true love's hair ;)
This song would perfectly suit to Game Of Thrones.
Sounds like it should be in Lord of the Rings
thats nina simone's song right?
I'm ready to die now.
color.
Isobel Anderson, will you marry me?
This is a pretty song, and too many py try to dress it up.
Close your eyes and think of Lord of the rings and The hobbits.
Can't they hear her singing? Why are they still talking? They should be listening spellbound!
