We sure were lucky and blessed to have Jean Redpath with us on the earth for a while! Her voice always reminds me of the impossibly sweet music of the birds, the winds in the grasses, the songs of the rain etc.
Thank you for posting these three songs by Jean Redpath. I've heard her in performance, I have some of her recordings, but I only knew one of these three, the first song. The other two are discoveries for me, and I am grateful for your bringing the three together. And thank you for your notes.
Two different singers. Jean is more in the drawing-room tradition - Gordeanna closer to the raw bothy tradition. Both absolutely outstanding carriers of the tradition - the world feels a poorer place without them...
Jean Redpath has the most wonderful voice and her singing is of the songs brings tears to my eyes. VERY sadly missed but NOT forgotten.
We miss you, Jean Redpath - thank you for all the joy you brought with your beautiful singing.
has there ever been another voice so sweet? She brings tears to my eyes.

She was THE BEST
A pity she didn't record 'Glasgow Lullaby' (title from German producer) a decade earlier: it could have been written for herr smoky voice.
Her Dad, an ex-bus driver, taught me to drive in 1967
Nothing is more beautiful than the voice of Jean Redpath.
I love her singing. So pure and unadulterated
I can't there is no musical accompaniment - her voice is pure music.
An ageless and pure interpretation of these beautiful songs.
Wonderful surprise to discover this brilliant singer on You Tube - thanks!
So Beautiful and peaceful.....
Beautiful, clear voice. Thank you 💐

I wish I had known about Jean Redpath while she was still alive. She had an exceptionally beautiful voice. Thank you for these lovely recordings.
Fantastic voice. Gordeanna McCulloch also recorded a wonderful version of "Willie's Rare" as "Willie's Droon'd in Yarrow," accompanied by a harp.
