Jean Redpath

Between 1974 and 1987, Redpath appeared regularly on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion" APM radio show.

The natural warmth and power of her voice brought her to perform at Gerde's Folk City.

•

In 2009, Redpath made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman singing the song "Some Kind of Love" by the late John Stewart of the Kingston Trio.

The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry

Although Jean Redpath disparaged Water's tune as "phony", preferring a longer version of Child 113 to another tune, by 1965, Jim Butler had heard Waters' tune sung by a Scottish student at the University of British Columbia, unaccompanied in the traditional style, and under the impression that he had learned it from his grandfather.

A Red, Red Rose

The song has been widely performed by a range of artists in the 20th and 21st centuries including Jean Redpath, Pat Boone, Kenneth McKellar, the Fureys, Eddi Reader, Camera Obscura, Eva Cassidy, Izzy, and Ronnie Browne of the Corries (in his solo album after Roy Williamson's death, 'Scottish Love Songs'(1995)).
