The band was formed in 1990 after Patsy Seddon and Mary Macmaster, performing as Scottish harp duo, Sìleas, had been working with singer Sally Barker on a solo album. They all agreed that a new women's group was a good idea and when Barker met the all-Ireland accordion champion, Karen Tweed, at the Hong Kong Folk Festival, the band was born.
Barker brought an element of rock music sensibility to the band's sound; when she left to start a family, the "voice of the nineties", Kate Rusby, joined.
With Rusby came a more traditional flavour and a blossoming of the harmony singing that is such a trade-mark of The Poozies. However, Rusby's meteoric rise to stardom, via the Mercury Awards, swept her away from the band to concentrate on solo work.
Eilidh Shaw, a young west coast (of Scotland) fiddler, joined Joining Seddon, Macmaster, and Tweed to forma neew line-up for the band. Shaw had grown up playing fiddle in her parent's ceilidh band, The Highfield Band.

I grew up on country music, dad played in small time bands. I have heard this song a thousand times in many renditions, this is the most stirring and haunting by far!
Tana Amstutz
This is the most beautiful cover of Pancho & Lefty I have ever heard!!!

This is one of my favorite versions of this song!
Ian Paul
So much better with an accordion and harp in the middle eight rather than a slide guitar which the majority of renditions use. Love this version way more than the rest.
Steve Carter
The most beautiful song ever recorded.
Quentin Rawlings
thank you Poozies, for proving that you don't need you don't need "the accent" to sing a country song. Just lovely...
Seth Sternin
