In the artist’s words: What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Andy Irvine, Paul Brady, Andy Irvine and Paul Brady Bert Jansch, Bert Jansch Maddy Prior & June Tabor, Silly Sisters Bert for the mix of trad and original and his inimitable fingerstyle. June and Maddy for the vocal harmonies, repertoire and arrangements. Paul and Andy for the bouzouki and guitar work and epic delivery. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fair Annie” This is a rare song in traditional folk that features two women characters who are supportive and kind to each other, as these sisters do. I also loved taking this one in an ambivalent modal direction to complement the story.
