John Barleycorn by The Imagined Village feat Paul Weller, Eliza and Martin Carthy
“Folk Music and the Legend of John Barleycorn. "They've let him lie for a long, long time Till the rains from heaven did fall And little Sir John sprang up his head And so amazed them all" The Imagined Village is a concept created by Simon Emmerson of the Afro Celt Sound System. It combines various groups and individual traditional singers with Bhangra drumming, popstars and dub poetry from the likes of Benjamin Zephaniah. http://www.theimaginedvillage.com/ #Folk #Barleycorn #PaulWeller #TheImaginedVillage”
