Goldstein writes in the liner notes that Stewart's singing was \"exceedingly spirited, fast paced and fragmentary. That is, in the course of conversation she would suddenly break into song, singing one or two verses, unless prodded to finish the piece.\" Over the course of the year Goldstein spent with the Stewart family, he recorded 175 songs from Lucy Stewart alone-and Stewart was the only member of her family to not read any music or play an instrument! Liner notes include explanations from Goldstein, photographs of Lucy Stewart singing, and song lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Battle O' Harlaw - Child 163 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Two Pretty Boys - the Two Brothers - Child 49 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Tifty's Annie - Child 233 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 The Laird O' Drum - Child 236 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Doon By the Greenwood Sidie O - Cruel Mother, the - Child 20 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Beggar King, the - Child 279 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Bonnie Hoose O' Airlie, the - Bonnie House O' Airlie, the - \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Barbary Allen -Barbara Allen - Child 84 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Swan Swims So Bonnie O, the - Two Sisters, the - Child 10\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lucy Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432374743111,"sku":"16937925","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1506055.jpg?v=1747362135","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/lucy-stewart-traditional-singer-from-aberdeenshire-scotland-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
