Ian Cutler: The Fiddler from the Wicker Man

Original LP Information:

In 1973, Paul Giovanni composed "Willow's Song", it included a vocalist that has been largely unknown, but he wrote the song for the sultry temptation scene and the fiddle track has Ian Cutler playing in the background.
Sneaker Pimps caught onto the Wicker vibe and did a remix of this version, but it upsteps the tempo from the original song, which makes it next to impossible to patch into bites from the movie. Well, almost impossible. I pulled in their version, along with Paul's original and Ian on fiddle and mixed the two together with Christopher Lee's "Welcome Fool/Appointment" and a layer from the movie itself where Edward Woodward is at Beech Buchannans grave & a good dose of Brit Eckland. I also added more of Ian fiddling to make the track fuller than the Pimp's version.
From what I understand, the SP version never credited Paul Giovanni, but this mix includes Paul's name. Giovanni passed away in 1996 and was one of America's best music composers. He composed the entire original Wicker Man sound track using UK Folk songs and inspiration from the cast & crew. less
