Aly Bain MBE (born 15 May 1946 in Lerwick, Shetland, Scotland) is a Scottish fiddler who learned his instrument from the old-time master Tom Anderson.
In the early years of his career, he was—briefly and unofficially—part of the band The Humblebums with Gerry Rafferty, Billy Connolly and Tam Harvey. In 1967, he was a member of the Shetland-based band Gordon Hank and the Country Ramblers, with Gordon Smith, Ian Stewart and Jack Robertson.
He became nationally prominent as a founding member of The Boys of the Lough, a Scots-Irish folk group, with whom he played for over 30 years.
Simultaneously, Bain pursued a solo career in collaborative and television projects with Pelicula Films director Mike Alexander and producer Douglas Eadie, working on several international television series: The Down home Recordings, The Shetland Sessions, Aly Meets The Cajuns, and six series of the Transatlantic Sessions.
Since the early eighties, Bain has regularly collaborated and recorded with prominent, international musicians, including: Jerry Douglas, Emmylou Harris, Mark O'Connor, Jay Ungar, Mary Black, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Dan Tyminski, Rosanne Cash, James Taylor, Eddi Reader, Paul Brady, Darrell Scott, Michael Doucet, Martha Wainwright, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, John Martyn, Danny Thompson, Iris DeMent, Karen Matheson, Karan Casey, Donal Lunny, Joan Osborne, Allison Moorer, Bruce Molsky and Allan MacDonald, bringing traditional music to a wider audience.
Chico Fernandez
Livin' on a gun
Dreams of Santa Ana
Fighting in the sky
Drums so loud from outside
Makes it hard to dream
A rain is falling hard and fast
Makes it all seem real
Morning, come morning
A chico's gotta have his share
Mornig and morning
Said hemust be there
Morning, sad morning
What a laugh, and i cried
And i cry, cry, cry, cried
Morning, sad morning
