Geordie (w/ Komrade K and Stevel)


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
When I was growing up my parents were never into folk music (my dad's a jazz musician) but they did have a copy of The Penguin Book of English Folk Songs and that's where I first found this song and took a special liking to it. I couldn't sight-read music well enough to work out any of the melodies from the book so I just used to imagine what the songs sounded like.

Thirty years later I still can't sight-read but I have now found out how the tune goes.

I've been lucky enough to have the assistance of two fine collaborators on this track. Stevel plays delightful psychey-electric guitars to supplement my twanging and Komrade K weaves his unique fiddle magic. I'm very grateful to them both for their sublime musicianship and for the encouragement they've given me.

For old times' sake I've used the words from The Penguin Book of English Folk Songs, although it's only one of a great many different versions ... I especially love the defiant final verse, which is missing from some versions.

The death penalty may seem a bit extreme for livestock theft ... but for many centuries in England that was the norm. Particularly with wild deer because they were the property of the king, and any offence against the king was classed as high treason. In these progressive times you'd probably get away with a thirty quid fine and an ASBO.

One thing I did discover back then as I read through that book was that most English folk songs are either about death or sex (or imaginative combinations of the two). So it's no surprise that in Scottish versions of Geordie the girl successfully wins him a reprieve and they happily ride off together into the sunset. It's only in this miserable English version that the poor bloke gets it.

Rebsie: vocals, 12-string acoustic guitar
Steve: electric guitar, 6-string acoustic guitar
Martyn: electric fiddle

Lyrics
As I went over London Bridge
One misty morning early
I overheard a fair pretty maid
Lamenting for her Geordie

Come bridle me my milk white horse
Come bridle me my pony
That I may ride to London's court
To plead for the life of Geordie

And when she entered in the hall
There was lords and ladies plenty
Down on her bended knees she fell
To plead for the life of Geordie

Oh Geordie stole no cow nor calf
Nor sheep he never stole any
But he stole sixteen of the king's wild deer
And sold them in Bohenny

The judge looked over his left shoulder
And said I'm sorry for thee
My fair pretty maid, you've come too late
For he's condemned already

Let Geordie hang in golden chains
Such chains as never was any
Because he came of the royal blood
And courted a virtuous lady

I wish I was in yonder grove
Where times I have been many
With my broad sword and pistol too
I'd fight for the life of Geordie

What a Singer!
I love the way that you sing the lead vocal in a lower voice than you normally use but then come in with the high harmony to perfectly compliment it. Super job girl!

Wot, no mandolin!!
Beautiful rendition of this wonderful old song - excellent performances all round. Rebsie, you nailed the vocals on this so well - had me near tears - and your 12 string sounded lovely. Virtuoso (rather than virtuous) performances by KK and Steve.
Loved it!

I'm very glad you like the vocal ... I was unsure about it and was about to re-record it (again) when KK suggested perhaps I ought to just leave it as it is. Left to my own devices I never know when to stop! Thanks for the nice comment.

So lovely!
What a wonderful piece of music to listen to first thing in the morning!

This particular song has compelling lyrics, and you deliver them so well. Your voice is perfect for this.

I love the way the guitars and violin intertwine, weaving in and out of the texture, creating beautiful splashes and washes of color. Very, very pleasing.

This recording is well-balanced and CD-ready, as far as I am concerned.

This is just GREAT. Bravo to all involved!

*blush* It means a lot to get such a vote of confidence from you, Cameron. The fiddle and guitar blend their colours in a way I never imagined when we started work on it, and I'm very very pleased with how they sound together.

Ed Hannifin said 1004 days ago (February 8th, 2007)
One of my favorite songs, Rebsie...
My dad more or less raised me on Joan Baez's versions of Childe ballads, including this one... Even at eight years old, I'd get all sad and outraged over it...

The interplay between the guitar and the fiddle here is exquisite and heart-piercing... I'd say it recalls Richard Thompson skirling away against Dave Swarbrick, but I think your collaborators here out-do Fairport...

Komrade K said 1003 days ago (February 9th, 2007)
Not the first time...
...that I've been likened to Swarb (don't know whether Steve's had RT comparisons before...) But to say we may have out done them... well I'm staggered!!

I must check out the Joan Baez version ... the only other version of this song I know is by the amazing underrated 70s folk-prog band Trees, whose singer I admire immensely ...

As for my two musos here, I agree they are brilliant and I wouldn't swap 'em for anyone. I'm sure Steve is delighted with the Richard Thompson comparison, hehe!

Thanks so much for this Rebsie Girl... you pass on inspiration so fine and subtle that your Muse must be so in love with your creativity. Stunning beautiful, perfect and with a profdessional polish that I long for.

Wonderfulness by the barrel.

Another powerful yet sweet lament ..
now it's me that's late to the party, sorry ...

beautiful singing, lovely multi-tracking of the two acoustics (smooth picking all round) and very appropriate 'weeping' fiddle adding oodles of expression.

Although the electric adds a touch of 'colour' and is excellently played and sounding characteristically Stevel, it's seems a little out of place and unnecessary to me, in an otherwise very traditional sounding folk piece - a small nit-pick needless to say.

Are you sure that in the Scottish version the recently reprieved lucky chap and his missus don't get run over by a herd of deer leaving the court house - what are the chances? ;o)

Great collab lords and lady, deservingly high rated.

Rebsie said 1000 days ago (February 12th, 2007)

Hehe. You are funny. I will always have that mental image of stampeding deer every time I sing this song now.

You know what I'm going to say, haha ... I'm really happy with the interplay of the electric guitar with the fiddle and I purposely mixed it so that they balance and contrast each other. If that makes it sound less traditional so much the better! :)

Hmmm, just imagine running with your loved one up a beautiful hill with lushes green trees, flowers, a nice warm breeze and lots of sun. Like u have in UK and especially Scotland (queens view). Just something i wish for you and everybody else. This is the song that i would play while being there and having a pick nick. Maybe with some of the veggies you grow, haha. All in all, something i crave for with my non-existing loved one. One day..

A Nice Treasure of the History
Even though it's a sad song, similar to the ones I had to grow up with, everytime I hear something like this I feel I feel so proud that somebody takes the time to bring back something like this. You do it with honesty and an open heart. Gives of the full story which I for one appreciate very much. It would still be a very good song, but to me it gives me the depth and meaning; and of course the lyrics does it themselves too. Komrade K's and Stevels contributions is a very good match for this I believe, with their great performance and your vocals it brings me back in time, a most pleasurable journey. /Mikki

Geordie...
What a beautiful tune and wonderfully expressive execution: vocals are perfect for this little "folk" song; loved the great guitar work and the mix of vln is always providing a poignant counterpoint to the tune. Gentle songs like this that carry a strong message should be heard much more often. Thanks for sharing it here.

I know that comparisons are sometimes not really all that desired, but have you ever heard the albums by Lauren Auerbach and Bert Jansch? The mix of instruments, styles, and your lovely voice remind of their stuff.

This has a wonderful, authentic British folk sound--sounds like it might have been sung this way centuries ago, but still resonates today...

Thank you Feter! I must admit I've never been a fan of Joan Baez, although I love the sweet honest and much less trained voice of her younger sister Mimi.

Yep, I think "really a bleeding wonder" sums up KK very nicely.

What a stunning performance, by all of you! I'm sorry that I didn't have the time to comment on this when it was at the top of the charts. It obviously belonged there.

You have such a soothing, and beautiful voice, Rebsie. Just strikingly beautiful!!! I've just listened to this at least five times, and each time, it renders something more... Just a very pleasant listen.

The writing is so wonderful, too. Quite the delicacy and such an exquisite piece of music.

KK, your approach to this piece was handled with such finesse, and care. Each note was played as if a great deal of emotion was laid to it. I'm quite astounded by your talent!

As restrained and understated as the guitar work on this is, it spoke volumes while assisting in the story telling here in a most supportive way. Very, very impressive.

The three of you came together ias if you were all one, to produce a very fine work of art. Just splendid!

You should all be very proud of yourselves. Really!

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Truly,

Latecomer
Well, I'm coming in late to this, but what a find. The atmosphere this track has is stunning - it feels as if a hush has fallen on the world outside my window, as everything strains to listen to this. You know Rebsie, you obviously have a great voice for this, but I love your accent as well - we get so used to hearing airbrushed voices, its a real breath of fresh air. Steve and KK give wonderful understated support to this track.

A clean, pure piece of music
