The Deserter

John Richards

[197?]

Questa canzone di John Richards, presente nel suo unico album solista, “Behind The Lines” del 2001, è forse più nota nelle esecuzioni dei Fairport Convention e di Simon Nicol, anche lui nei Fairport e poi nell’Albion Band.

Here I stand in a land that isn't my own

Song Itineraries: Deserters

A powerful Ballad of uncertain attribution (John Williams?) about pacifism, dated from the age of the British Empire.. Still very topical.
Famous the John Richards' version contained in the album "Behind the Lines".
