Waterboys, another great scottish band.

http://www.malinky.com/music.asp has previews.

They have a new line-up for their fourth/new album, as Karine Polwart has gone on to a successful solo career. She isn't doing as much folk music, which is a shame, but her pop stuff is okay. The following songs on the following albums I never get sick of. The remaining tracks are good too though.

Last Leaves (2000)
1 whaur dae ye lie - sad and haunting
4 the light dragoon - bawdy and light
5 the dreadful end of marianna for sorcery - dark folk ballad
8 dimna juda - rythmnic beat number
9 alison cross - another ballad about a witch
10 the bonnie lass o fyvie / the silver spear - haunting voice

3 Ravens (2002)
3 thaney - folk ballad with modern folk sound
6 the sound of a tear not cried - haunting
7 three ravens - traditional ballad again with modern sound
9 i dreamed last night of my true love
10 the false lover won back - ballad of love and loss
12 the trawlin trade - modern folk ballad, jaunty
13 follow the heron - lovely version of a traditional song of spring
The others are all good too though.

The Unseen Hours (2005)
1 Edom o Gordon - dark and haunting folk ballad
2 Clerk Saunders - folk ballad
3 Hughie the Graham - folk ballad
6 King Orfeo - Ancient ballad given new life
9 The Bonnie Banks o Fordie - wells o' wearie type folk ballad
11 The Sun's Cousin - Solstice maiden ballad
12 My Ain Countrie - pleasant burns song

I've got about 3000 scottish tracks on CD's, which I also saved on my computer with a complex database cross referencing them all. It's the thing I'd save if the house was burning down LOL. I like to tour through Scotland's music, as well as through the history and the landscape. Saves losing your voice talking the whole 12 hours. The tourist's heads explode if you do that, as well.

You can email if you want any more on this topic, if it's going off topic and annoying anyone.
