Rose O'Brien plays Kate Rusby's "Wild Goose" live in Chico, California, on July 8, 2012. For more of our live recordings and lyrics videos, please visit our channel (   / roseobrienmusic  . "The Wild Goose" is Yorkshire folksinger Kate Rusby's revision of a traditional sea shanty, with a refrain ("ranzo ray") helpful for pulling ropes. In the original, the songleader describes himself as "a shantyman of the wild goose nation," meaning that he's Irish. He's cheerful about leaving the "sassiest girl" in Ireland. Rusby turns the "wild goose" of the shantyman's "wild goose nation" into a ship and makes the story one of unrequited love and heartbreak. ______________________________ Rose O'Brien is a Northern Californian acoustic trio that plays an eclectic mix of folk, rock, pop, and jazz. Katherine O'Brien, lead vocals Robert O'Brien, fingerstyle guitar and backup vocals Ken Rose, fretless bass resonator guitar and backup vocals ______________________________ A note on Robert's guitar playing in "The Wild Goose": Kate Rusby uses double-dropped D tuning (DADGBD) for "Wild Goose" and other tunes. In our version, Robert uses the same tuning but fingerpicks rather than strums. In the solo, he echoes John McCusker's fiddle part on the original recording. ______________________________ For musicians and audio nerds, here's the lowdown on Rose O'Brien's gear, live setup, and recording method. Katherine uses a Shure Beta 58A microphone. Ken uses an Audix OM2, and Robert uses an Audix i-5. Ken runs the signal from his fretless Dobro bass through a Fishman Platinum Pro-EQ. An unaltered signal goes to his Hartke amp and an eq-ed and compressed signal runs into the board, a Phonic Powerpod 620. Robert uses a Dunlop medium thumbpick and .0225 silver-nickel fingerpicks to play his Taylor 414 limited edition (spruce top, rosewood back and sides). He runs the signal from the Taylor's Expression System into a Baggs Para DI, which he uses for eq. A Zoom A2 adds reverb and chorus. Vocals and guitar go into our Phonic 10-inch monitors, and everything (bass as well) goes into our Kustom 12-inch mains. For small venues, we only need one monitor and one main. RCA-to-1/4-inch cables run from the PowerPod's tape outputs to a Zoom H4n recorder. We use iTunes to convert the Zoom's WAV files into AAC files, which are better than MP3s and can be used the same way. ______________________________ For Mac users, here's how to make a YouTube lyrics video, in twelve easy steps: 1.
