Where the Lantern Guards the Road — British Folk Ballad | The Keeper’s Watch


“The Keeper’s Watch” holds one of British folk’s timeless images — lantern, key and vow beneath the rain. Warm male EN-GB vocal leads fingerstyle guitar with fiddle and concertina; brushed snare and upright bass arrive as the watchman’s step finds the hearth. For listeners who love night-watch ballads with lamplight endings, this one’s for you.
