Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger "Classic Scots Ballads"
(1959 reissued 1997) (VBR 224-256)





















These two met in 1956 and partnered each other in music and life for many years until MacColl's death in 1989. Peggy Seeger is still performing and releasing albums even though she will be 73 this year.
Classic Scots Ballads was their first major musical collaboration and it is as enjoyable now as it was in the 1960s (or at least I think so)
The original LP liner notes were included in the CD insert with a 1997 comment by Peggy Seeger.
