Song#2 Recorded at HarmonyArts 2013.
The following description is from [ Ссылка ]
"J. Moeran collected The Barley and the Rye in 1927 from the singing of Harry Cox of Norfolk. Martin Carthy sang Harry Cox's song in 1965 on his first album Martin Carthy, and Lal and Norma Waterson sang it in the same year in the BBC documentary Travelling for a Living. Peter Bellamy sang The Barley and the Rye on his third solo LP, The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate. Barry Dransfield accompanied him on the fiddle. A.L. Lloyd commented in the album's sleeve notes:
'Curious how rare some good songs are. This excellent little genre scene, sketched vividly in a few lines, of a silly old cuckold, a rampaging wife, and a young rake, has been recovered from only one singer, ant it had to be Harry Cox. E.J. Moeran collected it from him more than forty years ago. The tune is a handsome member of the vast Dives and Lazarus family; the well-known sailor song Rounding the Horn or The Gallant Frigate Amphitrite is its cousin.'
Robin Dransfield sang The Barley and the Rye on his album Tidewave." Tim got this version from Robin's rendition.
