What strong imagery to set things up. We love both mountains and wolves and, although menacing, it is sooo easy to envision this.

As floyd said "A truly strong write in classic folk song tradition. Stand out lines througout - the chorus in particular..." Indeed. We are history fans (of all eras) and the story is very powerful and to tell it in such a poetic manner...wow!

Your vocal has just the right element of weariness and/or sadness for the story and your choice and use of the backing tracks is perfect.

Really strong!!!

J&B,
I have the snow covered mountains up here to thank for that opening line.
Good to find meet other history buffs - truth is so entertaining and I`ve about exhausted the local library`s supply of Arctic/Antarctic books in particular. I`m happy you felt I got the essence of this tale.

Bob,
I really enjoy the way the best folk singers deliver the goods and tried to get some of that raw sound into the vocal on this.
Thanks for your listen and comments.
