English ![]() | Barbara Allen |
I'm not really sure as whether "Barbara Allen" is an American or English folksong but having learned the song as an English schoolchild in an English school in Worcester, the very heart of England, and the quintessence of things English, this song is, for me, English.
"Barbara Allen" was a great favourite of Steffi Lubrich and the version we played can be found in 100 Best Folk Songs For Recorder.
"Barbara Allen" has been recorded by:
Judy Collins on "Both Sides Now" RealAudio
The King's Singers on "Watching the White Wheat" RealAudio
Custer Larue on "Custer La Rue: Ballads"
Benjamin Luxon on "I love my love"
Pete Seeger on "Clearwater Classics"
Various Artists on "Music in Our House"
Frankie Armstrong on "The Garden of Love"
Joan Baez on "Joan Baez Vol.2"
