Wen - Ephem:era - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The story is basically this A soldier is dying, evidently of venereal disease he contracted from a young woman, and he requests a funeral. Hear how this story has been spun over centuries into a whole collection of similarly themed songs, the earliest possibly dating to 1790. In this recording we are essentially witnessing the evolution of the Anglo-Saxon ballad tradition. Album Tracks 1. The Unfortunate Rake 2. The Trooper Cut Down in His Prime 3.
