Archie Fisher's song "The Witch of the Westmerlands" from the album "Man With a Rhyme" This is a great song Archie Fisher wrote set in Westmorland. There's more to this story than what's on the surface, it's allegorical and full of folklore. Stan Rogers covered this song.

i don't know why, but i really love this song. it just seemed really pretty and...deep the first time i heard it, like sometimes you read something and just love it, without knowing why? anyway, i was telling someone about the song and i knew it had never been posted, so i felt like making a video out of it. if you like the song, the album its on is 'sunsets i've galloped into'. so, i obviously didn't make the song, or sing it. the pictures are mine. (i wish i had the ones from before my cousin 'reset' my computer) enjoy, please comment and please give the voice a chance! it can be a little grating...... + Informações

Cover of Archie Fisher's Dark-Eyed Molly from A Man With A Rhyme. I've really slowed this one down, making it even more wistful. Not sure if I should post this, the cats certainly did as much as they could to sabotage the recording. Yes, DADGAD, I think this is how Archie plays this - sound about right to me.. + Informações

From "Archie Fisher The Man with a Rhyme" The Witch of the West-mer-lands [capo: 5] [G] Pale was the wounded [C] knight [G] That bore the rowan [C] shield [G] Loud and cruel were the [Em] raven's cries That [C] feasted on the [D] field, saying: [G] "Beck water, cold and [C] clear, [G] Will never clean your [C] wound.

Archie Fisher sings "Orfeo". This version was recorded off air from a radio show in around 1969. This Norse version of the Orpheus and Euradice legend is based on a recording from the singing of John Stickle of Unst made by the late Pat Shuldham-Shaw. This is a wonderfully sparse treatment - unlike the over-orchestrated version on Archie's Decca album.. + Informações
