Hopefully she and Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy are singing together somewhere... I always wished for that pairing but never got it. What a lovely lady. Go to her rendition of Tuna Casserole on Prairie Home Companion for Jean at her impish best.
I like folk songs best a capella, I don't know why, I'm sure traditionally they were as often sung with accompaniment, and yet somehow like this they transport me back in time. I hear a woman singing as she works, in the home, in the fields. Simple and beautiful.
Even as she got older she still had her beautiful voice. So many singers tend to lose their vocal abilities as they age. He voice is so pure.
The First Lady of Traditional Scottish Song. Absolutely incomparable and irreplaceable. She will be missed. Rest in peace, bonny Jean!
Scotland has a very wonderful singer.
Her singing voice has impressed me deeply.
Arigatou.

RIP - a great Scots treasure lost - and barely a word of her passing.
Jean: How we miss ya ! May GOD hold you in His Hands forever.
She has the purest voice I've ever heard. Beautiful!
RIP Jean Redpath - A true Pioneer
so sad to here of the passing of Jean Redpath. rest in peace Jeannie.
She was bad ass. What a voice, and interpretation
Hearing her sing brings me more joy than just about anything else in this world.
One of the most beautiful voices I have heard.
The world is indeed a poorer place today without Jean. The bonniest briar bush in oor kail-yard has gone and deid an wulnae be replaced.
Pete Seeger is on her left in the sweater... Wonderful.

As natural as a bird.
not many voices survive without musical support

Who’s the other guy? Looks like WS Burroughs (but of course not him).
Roscoe Holcomb.
