Carolina Rua (Orchestrated)
Remarks
Carolina Rua is the first single for radio from the Orchestrated album. The original recording was for No Frontiers in 1989. The writer Thom Moore came into Windmill Lane Studios at the end of the recording sessions and played Carolina Rua to Mary on his guitar - she loved it and the band got working on recording it straight away. It was a big hit for Mary on radio at the time and always a huge favourite at concerts.
Brian Byrne has given it a whole new treatment with the orchestra and some new musicians and added the Crooked Road tune as well.
