Brave Words 'N' Fightin' Talk |
Jimmy MacDonald †—vocals, guitar, banjo
Robin Watson—vocals, 12 string guitar
Gordon Menzies—vocals, guitar, mandoline
Produced by Cyril Stapleton
Gaberlunzie is a Scottish word which means a beggar or pedlar and what magnificent song pedlars Gaberlunzie are. I called this album Brave Words 'N' Fightin' Talk because after the first five minutes of the recording session I was so shaken by the threatening rattle of dirks and sporrans I wanted to fly back to my side of the border, miserable cowardly Sassenach that I am. Seriously, Messrs Menzies, Watson and MacDonald have done a wonderful job on this recording of Scottish Folk Songs and original songs written by Gordon Menzies.
†… according to Gordon Menzies—“Jimmy MacDonald was instrumental in bringing Robin and me together and forming the group. He was with us for a year and left to buy a pub in Ayr. Later went on to acting and DJ in local Radio Westsound. He still lives in Ayr.”
