Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 4345049, member: 7631"] I could fill this thread up with stuff from Steeleye Span, but I'll try to restrain myself. This is a song put together by Rick Kemp (bass and bass vocals). It's entirely traditional lyrics and snippets of poetry written by the subject, James Graham, Fifth (I think) Earl of Montrose, with some of the music traditional and some written by Rick and the band. Montrose was a Scottish general caught up in the crisis created by the same man becoming king of Scotland and England (the "historical accident"). This is pretty much a brief history of his whole life. My daughter was so taken with the song that she did a whole unit of home school on him and the era of the war.
