about

‘Pulling Bracken’ - Jim’s friend sent him a recording of this song sung by Isla Cameron, a Scottish singer raised in Newcastle. The song is sung both from the perspective of a fairy and the person he falls in love with, who collects bracken on the moors. Collecting bracken / foliage for crops was a traditional role for women.
‘Highlander’s Farewell’, the fiddle tune played after, was learned from an Alan Lomax recording of Emmet Lundy (Grayson County, Virginia), in which Lundy explains “the piece was composed in the old country, where they had war in Scotland. And when the Highlanders took their departure from the Lowlands. A Highlander had a sweetheart in the Lowlands, and they just give him so long for to bid her farewell; and the low part of this represents the man and the high part, the lady."
