Caledonia Farewell (Jamie Raeburn)

by Neil O'Neill

on Caledonia Dreamin'

in Acoustic, Celtic

Alright, I confess I'm a sucker for Celtic ballads and deportation songs worth their salt. Jamie Raeburn (its other name) has been floating around for over a hundred years. I love Neil's honey-smooth voice and rollicking guitar in this song. Gabriel Duffin's puckin' on the banjo and bodhran adds to the seaworthiness of this ballad. (PS: that's me on the backup chorus).
