The Queen of Argyll

  • With Suzanne Leeuw on bodhrán. This song was written by the late Andy M. Stewart, formerly of Silly Wizard. The bouzouki intermezzo I believe was written by Phil Cunningham, who isn't only a master accordionist but also an expert bouzouki player. This is a song I absolutely love to do and I think this version turned out rather nicely.
    Comments are welcome!
    P.S. Commercial talk: this song is also on the new Itchy Fingers album, "Scratching the Surface", available through www.itchy-finge...

    Wow! Best version I've heard next to the original and honestly a contender against that. Truly outstanding. Voice is spot on and you can absolutely rock the 'zouk! Just wow! Love it

    I've been trying to chase down a video of someone that could play the Queen properly for *ages*. And you, my friend, have nailed it. I had a suspicion that it was played on the bouzouki rather than guitar. I've got a tablature for guitar, and let me tell you, getting the right note sequences with guitar tuning is next to impossible. Terminal case of pretzel fingers. Looks like I've got to get a bouzouki and learn how to play it. Yet another point on my list of justifying the expense to my wife.

    great version of a great tune... and the slow smile the bodhran player gives at the end is purely golden. You know you're doing something right when you earn a smile like that.

    It sounds just like my childhood! Nostalgic. I remember my dad used to replay this song over n over in his car while driving me all over when I was a kid.

    Channeling the late, great Andy M. Steward .... and the vibe of The Great Scots band, Silly Wizard. (I had most all their albums, and had the privilege of attending a concert, in Newport RI, as I recall.)

    It's not that I'm Greek, in fact in the past I disliked it, but now I think bouzouki is the best or most versatile 4-stringed instrument in the world. Much more, in the hands of a skilled player!

    Many thanks,
