A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

You've Got a Friend in Xesus: The Battlefield Band and "Snow on the Hills/Xesus and Felisa"
Our random tune for the day is by The Battlefield Band, which is a Scottish traditional music group founded in 1969. They are noted for the mix of bagpipes with other instruments, and their renditions of traditional songs and new material. While the band has gone through several lineups, their formula remains the same - bagpipes, electric keyboards (unusual for a traditional band) and no percussion (again, unusual). They have released 31 albums and have been nominated for many awards. This song, Snow on the Hills/Xesus and Felisa, can be found on their 1997 live performance CD Across the Borders.
