Well, Lord of the Reedy River appeared on the Extended Edition I of This
Woman's Work box set.  Other than that I don't really know much about it
apart from the fact that IMO it isn't one of her best songs.  It doesn't
really have any melody to it - just a lot of wierd albeit very atmospheric
sounds.
