Horse - Careful



A lovely little song. Hell of a singer Horse MacDonald, though she seems to have been slightly airbrushed out of history. Even here in her native Scotland I doubt that many know her. Apart from the lesbians of course, but they always cling tight to one of their own. Anyway, it's a shame this song in particular isn't better known, as it a great example of strings working with a vocal in a way that sounds both modern and timeless. Above all it's a great vocal, at about 2.10 she hits the note and holds it absolutely perfectly. Wonderful.
