Mary Black - Farewell Farewell 

I don't think there could be a better tribute to Sandy than this perfect version of a timeless song.

The greatest cover of the immortal and glorious Sandy Denny that there ever could be. Thanks, Mary for your tribute to the greatest singer the world has ever seen.

Mary Black for me is one of the finest Irish singers of all time yet I only saw her once in concert in Pedigree Corner 🇮🇪🎵😊💚

IMO one of the best interpretation of Mary Black, perfect execution, expressive, emotional, intense. Amazing.

Mary's voice is exquisite in this tune -- thank you Mary for this treat! You are a song bird beyond compare.

Mary Black at her best.She loves singing Sandy Denny It's so very obvious.Still listening in 2020.A very different world in such a short space of time.We shall be just fine.I saw Mark Black in Dublin in concert during the world economic disaster than was 2007/08.Ireland was hit hard,it was like a depression.Mary Black was singing very close to where she grew up.She said before a song that we shall get through this, She was right.Look at what we fight today.No one would have imagined.☘️

Plangent and beautiful, her voice and the arrangement ... just lovely.

One of the most beautiful songs and finest renditions ever !

If you an listen to this and not shed a tear, you are hardly human.

After all these years it still moves me. Just perfect

After listening to "Transatlantic Session #1", I've been chasing her all over the internet. Truly a remarkable performer...

The beauty of this song and the way Mary Black sings it always brings tears to my eyes

MARY BLACK HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE

Sandy would have loved Mary's version. True to the song and the girl who made it famous. Great stuff!

The raw talent of Mary Black. Oh how the years have rolled on and now her daughter Roisin O is becoming famous and wow she is also an unbelievable talent. Great memories thank you Mary

I was privileged to hear Mary Black when she sang in Frederick Md a few years ago-I was not familiar with her music then-I will never forget the experience-A voice and phrasing that cannot be forgotten.Always so proud of my ancestral country and its' people.So proud.

Mary Black at her best what more can you say . Just listen 👍

This beautiful performance by Mary Black served as one of the main inducements for me to purchase the Transatlantic Sessions 1 DVD set when it finally came out.

What a wonderful version! Really beautiful.

The most wonderful rendition of this song

This is an incredible cover; Mary's voice does this song so much justice.

Just love this song haunting but beautiful in every way

Stunning in its beauty.

wunderschön !!! no words to describe this beauty !!!

Nice version of a Richard Thompson (Fairport Convention) song.I still prefer the original with the great Sandy Denny on vocals,but fair play to Mary Black for helping to make more people aware of the music of Sandy Denny (and Richard Thompson/Fairport).

Tears in my eyes just listening and I don’t know why.

Well done Mary!!!

thanks for your words - that's the perfect description of this amazing gift, that i've been listening to over and over again

Beautiful!

A música com esse arranjo, e interpretação ficou fantástica. 👏👏👏💯

God bless you Mary Black and God bless Ireland

Beautiful....much needed after a rather unsatisfying St. Patrick's Day.... Thank you :)

Wonderful. Such sincerity in her voice. Thanks for posting.

Beautiful Voice

Great ! Melody is written by Andy Irvine (Willy O'Winsbury).

beautiful

outstanding.

Wonderful

Happy xmas dad xxxx

As a third generation irishman in the us, I here this !

absolutely love this version of the song. incredibly beautiful can anybody point me to chords for this version?

@padraigpurseal This song was written by Richard Thompson, who Mary Black also holds in high regard. To hear Mary's cover a true Sandy Denny classic listen to "By the Time it Gets Dark" from this same Transatlantic Session. If you think this song is beautiful - and it is (quite staggeringly so) - wait until you hear that,

Wow!

For my dear friend & Christian Sister Krisanna who succumbed to her injuries from a horrific motorcycle crash last Saturday night.

As a third generation irishman in the us, I hear this !

zum weinen schön

Ali Bain on fiddle too. It doesn't get much better.

If anybody here has not heard the original Sandy Denny version, please go listen to it now.

The mary black instrumentalist sing there is no end,

I hear ya....I always feel deeply affected after hearing this....much in the same way as Mary Chapin Carpenter's ''John Doe No. 24'' gets me.

What are you hearing in the US Jimmy boy? This is a tune written by Richard Thompson after the death in a car accident of a fellow band member in Fairpot Convention.

after finished watching Baby Reindeer. 13th May,2024.

@fch1639 Note that the DVD is PAL format, not NTSC. PAL is the standard in Ireland. My DVD player won't play it....one of my computers won't play it.....two will.

Anyone know the guitar tuning? Probably DADGAD?

Sandy n'est pas morte

Traditional tune, not Andy Irvine's.

I've always hated it when a singer changes one to he, what are you afraid of? Being too inclusive?

Beautiful!
