Free download for folk fans: Philip Murray Warson – ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’

https://soundcloud.com/philipmurraywarson/wild-mountain-thyme

One of folk’s unsung treasures, ‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ is a track which has been played down the years by many a folkie. This latest iteration, brought to us by singer-songwriter Philip Murray Warson, is a mighty fie version of the track focusing on the raw foundations and presented in stripped back fashion.

Even better, the track is available now as a free download (above), as well as forming part of Warson’s three track EP, available from Bandcamp for just two of your English pounds. Well worth the cash for folk collectors – Philip Murray Warson, much like his chosen track, is one of UK music’s unsung treasures.
