Coope, Boyes & Simpson - Now Is The Cool Of The Day

As their website says, Coope, Boyes & Simpson are an a capella trio singing English roots music. This is their astonishing cover of Jean Ritchie's folk song 'Now Is The Cool Of The Day' from their album 'as if...'

RIP Barry Coope - a sad loss to the world of singing and music and to us all.

Thanks so much! Their interpretation is amazing, and their harmonies are beautiful!

[gerloczyek]

Breathtaking! THANK YOU CBC FOR INTRODUCING IT!

[LQOTW]

heard their song on a folk radio show - had to have the album! Thanks for posting it!

[gbrinksman]

The most beautiful & haunting music . Wonderful harmonising . Thank you so much .

[Stigtoes]

Me too. Late Junction's the equivalent of travel. It broadens the mind and introduces you to new stuff that you would not normally come across. I'm not a Folk fan but I know good music when I hear it and this is good music.

Great upload, thanks. Heard them do this live on the BBC Radio 2 Folk awards pre-show and had to hear it again!

[paulbalogh]

Simply perfection. Floored by everything that I hear from these guys . Sadly they have retired.

[phionagray]

Yes, thank you so f**king much CBC radio 2 / 98.3 fm!!

This has instantly become my favourite song for an infinite number of reasons. So, for brevity, I'll choose the top one. Pure bipolar euphoria. No bipolar insanity. Wow. just wow. <3

[boojay]

Wonderful harmonies and can hear words clearly, just heard this on Late Junction,

[rosiemaygiblett]

How have I only just found you? Thank you for the beauty.

Thanks! I'd start by googling "acapella English folk". That should lead you to some great artists in a similar vein, like The Watersons and Cockersdale. Also see if you can pick up the soundtrack for the National Theater play 'Warhorse', which is full of beautiful English folk.

[BarbaraClauser]

Right on I like it. Thumbs up. Love Barbara

[paulbalogh]

Yes - Thank Tom Allen of the CBC for bringing this to us.

How the hell do you get that much projection hitting those bass notes. That is raw talent...or witchcraft. I couldn't even hope to get down to those notes let alone push them with such power.

[zaphod]

One of my singing group wants to sing this so I'm busy doing a SATB arrangement of it - complete with the obligatory cajon as used by CB&S. I don't know if you're still looking but my arrangement will be available soon ...

[heatheryogi]

Did anyone ever find sheet music for this?

[AnandaTina]

Where can I get the sheetmusic for this? I would love to do it with my choir.

[joepalermo]

Any ide where to get sheet music on this?
