***This split 7" record is being released in tandem with the compilation album Whaur the Pig Gaed on the Spree: Scottish Recordings by Alan Lomax 1951–’57. The A-side of the single is ALASDAIR ROBERTS’ own arrangement and performance (with renowned Scottish singer KARINE POLWART) of “Captain Wedderburn’s Courtship,” a traditional ballad included on Whaur the Pig… from the mouth of an octogenarian farmer named Willie Mathieson. The flipside features another young and talented traditionally-minded Scots singer, DREW WRIGHT, who turns in an interpretation of the classic Scots border ballad, “The Dowie Dens O Yarrow.” (STREET DATE - 11/08/2011)
