Thyme is a herb that symbolizes healing, love, and courage. In Celtic tradition, this plant was believed to belong to the faeries, and maidens wore sprigs of thyme in their hair to attract a suitor. This folk song, "Wild Mountain Thyme", is derived from an 18th-century poem.

This song features Scottish musicians I am honored to call friends! Singing harmony is Janice Burns: she is one of the UK's finest folksingers ✨ (Check out her duo Janice Burns & Jon Doran !!) Playing accordion is the mega-talented John Macmillan from Edinburgh, who recorded with me while he was on tour in the U.S. ⭐️ Also singing harmony is Sandy Fraser, my dear friend and neighbor who taught me this song 💚 Thank y'all so much!!!
A big thanks to Karl Stephen Page, Jaime Rowell, and Jesse Herrin for playing on this song! 💚💚💚 Produced by Chuck Hutcheson and Frank Farr!
