I owe myself a deep dive into the music of Joe Ely.
All Just To Get To You

LOVE Joe Ely!! For those who dont know him, listen to the title track for 'Letter to Loredo' or 'Row of Dominoes' or my favorite, the live version of 'Gallo del Ciello'!

If I had to pick one song to teleport my mind back into the 60's, it'd be this one:

Hadn't thought about this artist in a while. I just found out he died a couple years ago. Early 60s. Too young.

edit--Kelly Joe Phelps; some of these clips don't seem to highlight the artist' name very well

Little known artist Brian Friel with a great tune from back in the day:

 

[Ozimoto]

Many folk songs were written about real or semi-real events. This is an Ian Tyson song about a crime spree in Canada.

An old song, many wonderful versions of it out there, including Emmylou Harris. This has gotta be one of the most heart rending songs I've ever heard, from probably the most heart rending movie I've seen.

Here's a version sung by Johnny Cash.

A boy, a girl, and a motorcycle.

 

[Ozimoto]

There are many versions of "Shenandoah" out there. Just ran across this one today. Simply captivating.

I'm amazed we have overlooked this one....!

Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention- very informative and good video too:

I prefer Tom Rush's version.
