cngwms Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Does anyone have a full band version that they'd like to post besides the Farm Aid version? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I only have the one posted as "Someone Else's Song, but here's a link to a video on MySpace of Jeff and Jay Bennett singing it. It's a beautiful version of it and got me hooked on the song. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...eoid=1132606306 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 i love it too, but if you guys haven't heard Richard "Rabbit" Brown's orginal, you need to get with the program. eta: obviously, it can be found on Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I have and it's pretty cool. I want to buy the whole Smith collection, but it's like eighty dollars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 it may just be the best $80 you ever spent. i'm a nerd for pre-war blues and folk though, so... -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 it is the best kind especially good old murder ballads. Though Muddy Waters going electric and Howlin' Wolf and other bluesman similar to them are good. However, when white people (expect for Mike Bloomfield and The Rolling Stones) such as say Eric Clapton toyed with the blues, they runied it. Now, John Mayer is killing the blues even more.
