June Tabor [false false]

[@mikealexander7017]

Never get tired of listening to this. What a voice. Great accompaniment too.

[@FatNebraskaMom]

Gods, it's eerie how beautiful her voice is... U cn see her weeping and hanging laundry in the highlands of Scotland, aching for her lost love.. It's poignant. I love this song.

[@sconniepanda5835]

This is very wonderful...very, very much so. Thank you to these wonderful musicians for an excellent rendition of a very emotive song.

[@nessiediamond]

This song is truly moving and so beautifully sung by June. This is the first time I've seen this since it was first aired - thank you to the lovely person who posted this. Thrilled that it is on KZbin. :-)

[@mouldybear]

Stunning performance of a brilliant song.

[@Kate1Chopin]

June's voice is a unique instrument. A gift.

[@anndoran2844]

she has the best folk female voice ive ever heard . such delivery ,, expression , so sensitive and strong .

[@raymeade5723]

Check out Pauline Scanlon’s version you’ll be pleasantly amazed

[@Bekki369]

Lovely! Learned this first from Sheila Stewart, another of the great singers of the traveling peopleback in the 80s. Though June does it very differently, she certainly does it justice... Love her singing...

[@Transterra55]

WOW........this is pure passion. Her vocal contains such soul.

[@andrewsmart648]

I love June's version, she sings it with such emotion! : )

[@biancahoward3669]

This is so beautiful and a very dignified version

[@jeffmold9058]

If June Tabor ever releases a collection of live material, I sincerely hope this is included.

[@haysfordays]

Im in the US and became aware of June through a cd I snagged from the New York Times online review pile. It was A Quiet Eye. Been a big fan since. There's no mistaking her for anyone else.

[@zapkvr]

Enya might think she's all that but NO ONE sings a dirge like June Tabor. I have never heard this before but I cannot believe how wonderful it is on the first hearing. Amazing. Sheer brilliance.

Queen of English folk music.

Truly transcendent.

Popped up in my feed today.

[@Anyse]

Here are the lyrics from her "Against the Stream" album, which was named based on the word of this song! False, false have you been to me, my love, Oh, when did you change your mind? Ah, but since you've laid your love on another fair maid I'm afraid that you're no more mine. I was climbing to a tree that was too high for me, Asking for fruit where there weren't any grew. I've been lifting warm water out beneath cold clay And against the stream I was rowing.

[@Anyse]

But I mean to climb up some higher, higher tree And harry a white snowflake's nest, And down shall I fall, ay, without any fear To the arms that love me best.

[@glasto4]

hi there i am trying to find a song of this album about the turn pike road, - something about a devil a pitchfork and potatoes ?? do you kow the name of the track ?? please please please x

[@johnbond7944]

The track is called Apples and Potatoes Yonder comes the devil with his pitchfork and shovel, He was digging up potatoes on the turnkipe road. But the road it was so hard, he couldn't get 'em up, So away ran the devil with his tail c***ed up Who's that a-climbing up my old apple tree? Bridget, my darling, I'm longing to see. I'm not stealing apples, so I can explain: The wind bloweth high and knocked 'em down So I'm putting 'em back again!

[@jamesminogue2177]

She has the intensity of Nina. Both sing from the depths

[@annasmoljaninova574]
