Oh, and re: the song you linked! I hadn't heard that version, it has lovely harmonies. I've mostly listened to the Dick Gaughan and Band of Burns versions.

And it's fitting for Guthrie and some of the other Scots in the story...

I did think using an actual Scots version might be better—but yes, Steeleye's harmonies are lovely. They're so good at using those multi-layered harmonies to add depth and resonance to a song. (Which reminds me, I haven't listened to 'Gaudete' yet this year! Must do that...)

And it's fitting for Guthrie and some of the other Scots in the story...

Heh, true!
