About This Song
About "I Was A Young Man (Top Gear Radio Session 27/6/70)" by Steeleye Span
Steeleye Span’s 'I Was A Young Man' (Top Gear session) is a stark, unvarnished traditional ballad, Maddy Prior’s voice piercing through sparse accompaniment. The live setting amplifies the song’s mournful weight, a ghost story told around a fading fire.
