Lal & Mike Waterson - Fine Horseman

From their folk-noir masterpiece "Bright Phoebus", released in 1972 on Trailer Records. Richard Thompson and Martin Carthy on acoustic guitars.
Anne Briggs had released an early version of this song on her 1971 album "The Time Has Come".

Wonderfully dreamlike and eerie song.

"Rain falls and the wind roars
All the folks are indoors
We came through a ford
Riding over the moors
Fine flying sparrow, fine fine horseman"

 

Dandy Warhols ~ Horse Pills

 

Fred Eaglesmith - Spookin' the Horses

Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter.
"Spookin' the Horses" is a track from his album "Lipstick Lies & Gasoline", released on Razor & Tie in 1997.

"You're spookin the horses
They're wild and they're scared
That bright colored make-up and those clothes that you wear
And I seen you dancin' last night 'neath the trees
You're spookin' the horses and you're scarin' me"
