Karla Bonoff "The Water Is Wide" with Livingston Taylor & Sean McCue

[Queequeg]

I always liked this old Scottish folk song. It's been recorded by so many people over the years.
This one caught me by surprise. I hadn't heard anything Karla Bonoff for decades.
Sean McCue plays a sweet little solo beginning at 1:54.

I recalled hearing a version of that from KB from her album long ago and really enjoyed it.

While scanning my hard drive for it, I stumbled on Eva Cassidy's version which I'll offer. She takes a few more liberties with the melody but with such a sweet pure voice I don't mind

Thank you for posting this, jpmist.
Soprano Eva Cassidy sang like an angel and played so well as she accompanied herself on guitar.
Tragically lost her battle with cancer at age 33.
Fame came really only after she died.
