HIGH GERMANY SUITED and BOOTED - The MALKIES Alistair Hulett

HIGH GERMANY SUITED and BOOTED - The MALKIES Alistair Hulett*****SUITED and BOOTED - HIGH GERMANYThis Track: A Reflection on Love and War:Often as not, Love (and Lovers) are the true Victims of War. Unfortunately it is often overlooked on all sides, and more specifically on both sides when dealing in matters of the heart.The oral Folk Tradition has regularly produced songs denouncing wars from the point of view of those most likely to be adversely affected by them and High Germany is one of the best of these from late18th Century England. I learned this song many years ago from a live recording of Frankie Armstrong and Louis Killen.

'Suited And Booted' will certainly put the band on the musical map. Sean McGhee, Rock'n'Reel UK http://www.rock-n-reel.co.uk"T... Malkies are a new band featuring the great Alistair Hulett. Seasoned musicians all, they've come together on Suited and Booted sounding as fresh as the proverbial daisy. This album will knock your socks off and we can't wait to get it into stock and onto our virtual shelves here at Four Dogs Music"Mike Newman, Four Dogs Music UK http://www.fourdogsmusic.co.uk... song dates back to the 18th Century and High Germany is the old name used in England at that time for Bavaria and Southern Germany. The dialect of Southern Germany is still known as High German today, while in the North they speak Low German. Believed to date from the Seven Year War of the 1720s (if not earlier). In any instance it is a fascinating window into the History of the area and the Music as well.
