Joan Baez&Jackson Browne

my favorite Bob Dylan song!

An English ballad about a young man who mourns his dead love too hard and prevents her from obtaining peace. It probably dates from 1400 and was collected by Child in 1868. The ballad deals with two commonly held superstitions - that mourning for longer than a year disturbs the dead, and that kissing a corpse is fatal. There are several tunes traditionally used for this song, but the one I am most familiar with is "Gilderoy", perhaps best known as "Star of the County Down." It is also often used for "Dives and Lazarus" (Child 56). So it is the third time I have sung a song to this tune on YouTube. I first heard the song performed by Joan Baez, though I already knew it as a poem from my school days. It has also been recorded by Frankie Armstrong, Ian Campbell, Kate Rusby, Nancy Kerr and The Dubliners. Despite the morbid subject matter, the song actually has a happy ending, as the young man chooses life rather than joining his love in the grave.

This is one of the best-known of all the ballads collected by Francis James Child. There are hundreds of variations and many different tunes. The story is straightforward: The heroine rejects her lover's advances. He dies of a broken heart. She realises she made a mistake and dies as well. They are buried side by side, a rose grows from his heart and a briar from hers, and they tie themselves into a lover's knot - so love has triumphed after death. The first known reference to the song occurs in the diary of Samuel Pepys, on January 2, 1666, when he reports hearing it sung by an actress he liked by the name of Mrs. Knipp, though no printed versions have been found until the following century. I first heard this sung by Burl Ives on his 1953 10 inch Decca Album, "Folksongs about the Fair Sex". He learned this song as a young child, and sang it at his first performance - at a reunion of old soldiers in Hunt City. I loved Burl Ives' rendition of this song from an early age, so much so that, as a teenager, I made a home movie with my younger brothers and sisters in which we acted out the story, with Burl Ives' song as the sound track. The 8mm film was unfortunately destroyed in a fire some years later. The song has been recorded by many performers including Joan Baez, The Everly Brothers, Crystal Gayle, Simon and Garfunkel and Emmy Rossum (in the movie, "Songcatcher"), I have uploaded an a capella version of the song previously, but this rendition is much closer to the Burl Ives version I learned as a child. My a capella version of this song is on my fourth CD, "Pigs Might Fly and Other Politically Incorrect Ballads".

By Joan Baez

Another of the English and Scottish ballads collected by Francis James Child, this has obvious connections with "Hangman, Hangman" (Child 95) and the Hungarian ballad, "Anathea". I first heard this sung by Joan Baez, and that is pretty much the version I sing here.

One of the best-known of the English and Scottish ballads collected by Francis James Child. I first heard it sung by Joan Baez, but this is probably closer to Dylan's version. There is a fascinating book by Clinton Heylin - "Dylan's Daemon Lover" - which traces the various versions of this song back to it's origins in the sixteenth century. I used this source to put together what I thought were the most interesting and appropriate verses to tell the whole story.

Bob Dylan released his first self-titled album "Bob Dylan" in 1962. In his first album is the song "Pretty Peggy-O," a variation of the Scottish folk song "The Bonnie Lass o' Fyvie." Bob Dylan's first album sold around 5,000 copies the first year, just breaking even. Some in Columbia Records wanted to drop Bob Dylan, but due to support from the likes of Johnny Cash he stayed. Bob Dylan rarely performed songs from his first album and as such I was unable to find a live version of the song on video. So I put a together a collection of photographs and lyrics. Due to the faith of those who knew him in his early days, Bob Dylan has become a legend and will always be remembered in history as an important figure in music whose influence spans five decades.

This was Bob Dylan's most popular love song written to and about Joan Baez during their roaring affair in the 60's.

This was a love song written from Joan to Bob Dylan more than 10 years after their flaming love affair of the 1960's had cooled off.

This ballad, also known as "Mary Hamilton", has many variations and the execution is variously attributed to infanticide and sleeping with the queen's lover. I first heard this sung by Joan Baez.

A typical ballad of love and murder from Child's collection, this goes back to at least the early 17th Century and has survived in many forms. The main character is known variously as Musgrave, Mossgrey, Matty Groves, Matthew Groves, Little Sir Grove and Marshall Groves among others. The husband can be Lord Barnard, Barnet, Barnabas, Arnold, Arlan, Allen, Daniel and so on. In the US, a popular shortened version of the song developed, known as "Shady Grove". I first heard this song sung by Joan Baez (1962). Other notable recordings are by John Jacob Nile (1956), Doc Watson (1966), Fairport Convention (1969), Martin Carthy (1969), Christy Moore (1976), and Planxty (1992). I have previously uploaded the variation known as "Little Musgrave and Lady Barnard."

Wil Maring performs her Merlefest award winning song, "Bottomlands", accompanied by Brad Davis. This was filmed at the 2007 Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, TN. As Wil Maring sat for long summer hours as a teenager at her family's roadside vegetable stand, picking out self-made tunes on her Sears guitar to pass the time, she never dreamed of the path she would one day follow. Wil has become a highly acclaimed songwriter, a previous winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest, and has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with her original music, in addition to touring extensively in Europe and Japan. She honed her songwriting skills playing music professionally in Europe with her group Shady Mix. Wil Maring and virtuose guitarist and fiddler Robert Bowlin have been recently combining talents to create beautiful original acoustic music which straddles the fence between bluegrass, folk and country music. Wil's beautiful airy vocal style and heartfelt lyrics have raised the eyebrows of the acoustic music world in recent years with the release of her three solo cds and four band cds with her band Shady Mix. Robert, a two-time National Fingerpicking and Flatpicking Guitar contest winner, has been a band member with legendary artists like Bill Monroe, Maura O Connell, Kathy Mattea, the Osborne Brothers, and many more. their music will leave audiences spellbound long after the show is over. For bigger venues, Wil sometimes appears with whole band, Shady Mix, which includes instrumental lineup of upright bass, fiddle, mandolin, and sometimes banjo. Mixture of bluegrass, oldtime, folk, country, and even a little pop. Wide variety of influences, and live show includes a heavy emphasis on originals, but also bluegrass and country standards, fiddle tunes, and cowboy and western swing music. Current favorite artists and influences are wide and varied.... Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Martin, James Taylor, John Hartford, John Prine, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Flatt and Scruggs, Bob Wills, Asleep at the Wheel, Tony Rice, Hot Rize, Dougie MacLean, Kate Rusby, Lyle Lovett, Kim Richey, Patty Griffin, Lucy Kaplansky, Nanci Griffith and so many more... from my youth: Dan Fogelberg, John Denver, Jackson Browne, Eagles, and many bluegrass artists. Sounds like Wil Maring.....have been compared to many, but one word that keeps coming up in review and commentary is "unique". If one must compare, then maybe in the direction of Nanci Griffith. Grammy award winning artist Brad Davis spent ten years (1992-2002) performing on stage as a member of Marty Stuart's road band. For the past six years he has played lead acoustic guitar with Earl Scruggs and Friends, and for the past five years he has played lead electric and acoustic guitar with movie actor Billy Bob Thornton's rock band. He spent two years (2003-2004) as the guitar player for the Sam Bush Band and also performed with John Jorgenson's Gypsy jazz Quintet in 2005. He occasionally performs with an exciting new bluegrass band, calling themselves "Greenbroke," consisting of Brad Davis, John Cowan, John Moore, and Dennis Caplinger. Brad has worked for, or recorded with, Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, Pam Tillis, The Forester Sisters, Tommy Shaw (Styx), David Lee Roth (Van Halen), Sheryl Crow, Sam Bush, Warren Zevon, and The Sweethearts of the Rodeo. He is currently the host of Commerce County Line, a singer/songwriter television program on the iTelevision network. Additionally, Brad has recorded two album projects featuring Billy Bob Thornton on Mercury Records and has toured both Europe and the United States as the lead guitar player for Billy Bob Thornton's band. Brad's two solo recordings on FGM Records "I'm Not Gonna Let My Blues Bring Me Down", and "This World Ain't No Child Anymore" were both released to rave reviews. He also appears on an FGM concert DVD video release "Live in Kansas City" with Cody Kilby and Tim May.
