Genre: Folk/Poetry

Dates: 1996

Scotland's National Poet, interpreted by Scotland's greatest folk singer. Two of Burns' three most famous are here, the eternal New Year's chestnut "Auld Lang Syne" and "A Red, Red Rose"; missing is "To a Mouse," the source of the title of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men." Romantic, rabble-rousing, bawdy, and philosophical—a pretty well-rounded man, and this woman's take adds layers of irony to several verses.
