Track: Blackbird
Artist: Julie Fowlis
MOJO says: While everyone from Crosby, Stills & Nash to the Grateful Dead have covered Paul McCartney’s ode to hope, none to MOJO’s knowledge have reinterpreted it in Gaelic. Until now. Julie Fowlis – the winner of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Singer Of The Year award – delivers this effervescent version that pays homage to the song’s Scottish origins.

I said this on "Back in the USSR," but I'd consider this the glimmering jewel in this month's disc.

One word: beautiful.
I just sat on the rug and stared at the CD set and realized I was weeping.

RE: chomp
re: the 'weeping' comment. it's strange, but a similar response from me also ... how can a song do such? maybe, just as already simply expressed by the person; "one word: beautiful," tells it for what it is.
