about

This is usually thought of as a children’s folk song telling of a faraway lover across an ocean. However, it’s actually a “code song” for Scottish political insurgency in the 1740s, tributing the exiled Bonnie Prince Charles (I like the kid’s version better). I recorded this in a grunge-y San Francisco warehouse loft: Fast, dirty, and just for fun, perhaps subconsciously prompted by the rock’n’roll remake of it by Tony Sheridan & The Beatles. On a cosmic jukebox, this track would play next to “Hang On to Yourself” (David Bowie), “I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock’n’Roll” (Dave Edmunds), “Jailhouse Rock” (Elvis Presley), and “God Save the Queen” (Sex Pistols)...and maybe something by The Georgia Satellites.

The photo here is of Tiny Grimes & His Rocking Highlanders, and early-1950s group who played at Alan Freed's Moondog Coronation Ball in Cleveland on 3/21/52, said to be "the first rock concert" in history. I have no idea why Tiny chose a Scottish theme for his band, but everyone loves the photo.
