Mike ... this is excellent! Oooo I love the melody, the emotions, and the inspiring guitar lick is so good! The change of tempo was a surprise...a good tempo-innovation! Peace be on Earth! Peace! We need it NOW!

Stan, Amen and amen!

Sorry... Was headed out the door when I first responded. Hence the brevity thereof! Thanks so much Stan for listening and commenting. I love traditional melodies. Also love to rip 'em up! Ha ha ... Cat Stevens wrote about that peace train. Been standing on the tracks waiting for a long time. It has yet to appear. Hope I didn't waste my money on that ticket. There's always hope .. Be well my friend!

Rock and roll revolution, an anti-war message. You did a great job on this production Mike. I don’t recall hearing you sing with such passion. That ride out was a gem. Bravo!

Thanks James. This song has been covered by a number of folk groups. There's even a Punk version by a Boston based band called Cordelia's Dad! I wanted to give it a feel lying somewhere between Fairport Convention and "Broadsword and the Beast" era Jethro Tull. As for the "ride out": with the centuries long socio-political friction between the English and the Irish, I thought it would be cool to join both cultures together in one protest tune. Seems to work well enough... I decided to post this one after listening to and being deeply moved by StanTheManLoh's "Children and Mother's of Palestine." Also Jiguma's "Blown Away." I scanned my back catalogue and to my surprise this is the closest thing to a war protest song I've done. Quite weird this, since I'm a sucker for a good anti-war tune and have quite a collection of them! Oh well...

Great mix of the old and new! Great guitar tone in there on the scorching lead work!

Great song. Important message. It was important 300 years ago. It is important today. And unfortunately it will be tomorrow. Let our voices be heard to at least prevent some of the violence.

Jim: LOVE mixing the old and the new! Glad you enjoyed the guitar work friend. 😃 Kenneth: Yeah, our voices may be small, perhaps even insignificant in the grand scheme of things---who knows?---nevertheless there are things that simply MUST be said. Glad to find there are people on this site saying it. Happy to join my voice to theirs! Be well friends!

OOOooosh that guitar is gnarly !!! love it... Great song and deffo one for my favs for more listens ...

Hey friend, you haven't written your bio yet so I don't know your name. Calling you "Sprout" feels weird! Ha ha ... (Cool username though...) Anyway, thanks for the props. I appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment. Mike

This RULED!!!!

Thanks R-ji... Your succinct but kind review is GREATLY appreciated. 😘

Love it!!

Wow!! This is so good. Congratulations. Instant download.

Hey deezee: 😘 Sir Barretok: Many thanks for the kind words of support. Rock on friend!

Wonderful contemporary Folk that moves into Rock or fusion of? Not that it matters.. end result does and my ears like it! Stan Loh is right... never inappropriate.

Well done.

Djev: Yeah, it's certainly folk-rock, but there's no specific category for that here as of yet. Glad you appreciated both the music and the message friend. 🙂 Tele: I appreciate your clicking in on this one bro. Many thanks! 👍

Awesome guitar lead!!

Omar! Nice to see your smiling face... The leads were fun to play; but the ascending one at the end of the first solo was a bear. It took several takes and a little editing to get it exactly right... Glad you enjoyed it friend. Happy holidays!

This is really good. Good to hear songs with real meaning and purpose. Great guitar work.

Thanks for listening Thomas. Have a safe and happy holiday!

Great tune .... ! guitar outstanding

I like that vintage British sound, and excellent vocals also.

Gary: Thanks for the thumbs up on the Git! That ascending lead riff at the end of the solo took a bit of editing to get the timing precise! Steve: Hey! Nice to see you again... 😊 Re that "vintage British sound," my love of Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull is the background for that. 😋

Fine version version sir-playing the foggy dew at the end is an inspired touch
