Martin Graebe & Shan Cowan - Parallel Strands

This album brings together two aspects of Martin Graebe - his ability to write great songs in traditional styles and his skill and patience in researching the songs from the C19th collection of Baring-Gould. Many of the songs are recorded here for the first time since Baring-Gould noted them down and all the arrangements of Martin's own songs are new. Martin Graebe and Shan Cowan. Martin is best known as a singer and writer of songs in traditional style. Many of his songs, such as 'Jack in the Green' and 'From Severn, by the Somme' have travelled the world and been recorded by a number of performers.
