The Terror Time (I Like to Settle in the Wintertime)
[1964]
Album “The Travelling People”, ultima puntata delle “BBC Radio Ballads 1957-1964”, con Charles Parker e Peggy Seeger.
Una canzone dedicata alla discriminazione e al pregiudizio di cui sono vittime, nella perfida Albione come in tutto il mondo, gli “zingari”.
Interpretata anche da altri artisti, come Archie Fisher e Iain MacKintosh
“This song from the last of Ewan MacColl's radio ballads, 'The Travelling People', a programme that dealt with the culture and the living conditions of Britain's gypsies, didikais and tinkers, the ordinary people's ignorance of their ways and the shameful intolerance that is shown them. It was one of the most successful of the radio ballads and was the only one which used traditional as well as revival singers. It also had one of the most shocking endings of any radio programme when the Birmingham Councillor, Harry Wottan, J.P., suggested his ultimate solution to Britain's nomad problem: 'There is nothing left for it but to exterminate them,' he said.”

Five Ways To Kill A Man
[1988]
Album “Gentle Persuasion”
Adattamento di una delle più famose poesie del britannico Edwin Brock
Sulla melodia della popolare scozzese Ye Jacobites by Name
Testo trovato su MySongBook
“Five Ways to Kill a Man is chilling in its deliberately emotionless tone as it uses the language of a practical manual to explore humanity's cruelty. Progress is reduced to the way in which mankind has "improved" its methods of killing. Inspired by a performance of Benjamin Britten's War Requiem and written quickly, the poem has an air of authority which Brock's reading emphasises.” (en.wikipedia)

The John MacLean March
[1948?]
Versi di Hamish Henderson
Su di una melodia tradizionale scozzese
“The John MacLean March had its first performance in the St. Andrews Hall, Glasgow, at the memorial [concert?] to the great Scottish republican socialist on 28 Nov. 1948, where it was sung by William Noble. It is set to a traditional version of a pipe melody that is today played and sung all over Scotland to the more commercially patriotic verses of Scotland the Brave.” (da Henry's Songbook)
Il brano è stato interpretato da moltissimi artisti e gruppi scozzesi, a cominciare da Dick Gaughan (in “No More Forever” del 1972) e Iain MacKintosh (in “By Request” del 1974).
Come Ballad Of John MacLean di Matt McGinn, un'altra canzone dedicata alla figura di John Maclean, socialista scozzese, noto per la sua fiera opposizione alla prima guerra mondiale. Per questo nel 1918 fu processato per sedizione. Durante l'udienza... (continua)
