  • Busking a few verses of another wee cowboy ballad called the “Streets of Laredo” on the banjo and harmonica in beautiful Edinburgh, Scotland, on a cold winter’s night. This is one of my favourite cowboy ballads, which has a long history of being sung by both Scottish and American folk artists alike. Some of my favourite Scottish versions of this cowboy ballad are from Hamish Imlach and Alex Campbell and there are too many great American versions to list them all here.

    I love your blend of British -US folk traditions. I think modern debate divides our shared culture. I'd love to see you perform with Southern musicians.

      Edinburgh is in Britain? Thought it Scottish. Or Irish or something

    is this song a descendant or ancestor of the unfortunate rake/lad? i’m sensing some similarities in both melody and lyrics.

      A lot of old American folk songs are inspired by the Scottish and Anglo colonists and immigrants who settled in the Appalachias and western North America

      Yes it is a direct ancestor of the unfortunate rake.
