Fool Me Once: Old Blind Dogs and "The Wisest Fool"

Today's random song is called The Wisest Fool and is performed by the Old Blind Dogs. Old Blind Dogs were formed in 1990 when the three founding members met on a "buskers holiday" in the Scottish Highlands. The band was originally distinctive as it represented the music and traditions of Northeastern Scotland and sang in the dialect of Aberdeen and the region. The band focuses on traditional Scottish and Celtic music, with influences from rock, reggae, jazz, blues and Middle Eastern rhythms. The Wisest Fool can be found on their 2006 CD The Gab o Mey, and in this live version on their 2005 CD Old Blind Dogs Play Live. The song is about James VI of Scotland, later to become James I of England.
