The Highwaymen - Michael Row the Boat Ashore Best Of (CD 1992 EMI/UA) Near MINT

Description: The Highwaymen - Michael Row the Boat Ashore Best Of (CD 1992 EMI/UA) Near MINTDo not confuse the folk singers of the sixties featured on this set with the country superstars Cash, Jennings, Nelson and Kristofferson who also recorded and toured using the Highwaymen name.These original Highwaymen are best remebered for Michael row the boat ashore (sometimes just titled Michael), a number one hit in Britain, America and other countries around the world, which begins this set. Cotton fields, originally written by Leadbelly, was a top twenty hit for the Highwaymen, though others have also charted with this song, including the Beach boys. Another famous song is The first time ever I saw your face, a massive seventies hit for Roberta Flack. It was written by folk singer Ewan MacColl about Peggy Seeger who later became his wife. The version here is very folky, true to the original.There are several other well known songs here, including Big rock candy mountain and The gypsy rover. Even the obscure songs here are worth hearing. The general feel of the album is easy-going but upbeat - the sort of album that you can play as background music, but has plenty to offer if you give it dedicated attention. In particular, there is their very amusing song, titled Number one, about themselves. It shows that having a number one record will get you a lot of attention but doesn't guarantee further success. Many of the tracks here are more interesting than Michael - if you like sixties folk music, the Highwaymen are well worth a listen.Track Listing1 Michael 2 Santiano 3 Cindy, Oh Cindy 4 Big Rock Candy Mountain 5 The Gypsy Rover 6 Three Jolly Rogues 7 Cotton Fields 8 The Carlton Weaver 9 Whiskey In The Jar 10 I'm On My Way 11 March On Broghers! 12 I Know Where I'm Going 13 (Marching To) Pretoria 14 Well, Well, Well 15 All My Trials 16 The Tale Of Michael Flynn 17 Universal Soldier 18 work Of The Weavers 19 So Fare Ye Well 20 The First Time (Ever I Saw Your Face) 21 There Comes Alibama 22 The Sinking Of The Reuben James 23 Ramblin' Boy 24 Number #1 Description UPC Code:77779633425Record LabelEMI / United ArtistsDate Made1992Country MadeUSA CD ConditionA near perfect, rarely-played CD.
