Who Do You Love


 











Spotlight on an old folk ditty today, lovingly reinterpreted by Anaïs Mitchell & co. Green Rocky Road is an outtake from Bonny Light Horseman's selftitled debut, which still gets plenty of airplay at FTSOTS headquarters. Got it yet?

Roses There Are Many



















This one got plenty of praise from the folk and Americana crowd in the 2013 end-of-year lists, and with good reason. Mitchell and Hamer may not be in league with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings (yet), but the duo's seven takes on ye olde Child ballads are a joy to behold. Here's Child #39, which all you Fairport fans out there will surely recognize.
