Several years ago I heard on, I think, BBC3's World Music programme , late at night, an extraordinary rendition of Lord Randall. Unaccompanied, in a (male) screeching sort of voice. Think Ewan McColl's version, turn up thespeed, treble and distortion, as it were. Electrifying. Now It has come back to haunt me, and I haven't yet tracked it down. Any suggestions, anyone?
Thank you Lordyaswas. I mentioned the Ewan McColl because it it a fine rendition, as are many I have come across in this search. Plus it is unaccompanied, like the one I am looking for. The search you recommended hasn't actually got me that much further. Trouble is, I can't find (maybe doesn't exist) a simple list of all versions of the song. The one I heard was so different, so 'extreme' one could say. You wouldn't forget it. I will keep trying.
