Hey, I'm very pleased that you guys are enjoying the Young Tradition and Lal Waterson songs; that was my hope all along. For me as well, surprise surprise, both are great demonstrations of how effective a capella can be.
Welcome back, ribbons ! Those lines you quote, are a very neat, very succinct description, aren't they? But on balance, I go with Dwnwthvwls and Pet_Sounds and vote for the Young Tradition - the two voices are so distinct but each does a wonderful job of breathing life into those old words; I even love the way they drop the "h" on "usbandman."
In fact, at age 18, by chance, I picked up "The YT Sampler" album below and fell in love with them when I heard this track - one of those rare moments when you are just blown away by a piece of music:-
The votes so far:-
The S and the H : 3
S.O.S. : 2
