song: Blackbird
language: Scottish Gaelic
performer: Julie Fowlis
Julie Fowlis is a renowned Gaelic singer from the island of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. This song was recorded for Mojo Magazine's cd White Album Recovered. It was an appropriate choice, I suppose, given that the blackbird is such a common motif in Gaelic (and more widely Celtic) poetry.
