Over a century has gone by since ink was put to parchment, and today 'Danny Boy' continues to stir up deep emotion and feelings of Irish national pride. But while it might feel like the traditional song or even the national anthem of Ireland, the lyrics were written in 1910 by an English lawyer – Frederic Weatherly.

Peter, Paul & Mary ~ ♪ 500 Miles (one of my favorite version).​

Are we doing country or folk? To me they are 2 different genres. I didn't listen to folk music (P, P & M, Woody Guthrie) but have listened to country (Merle, Conway, Loretta, Reba).

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - The Promise Land​

 

[Pharos]

-- This is the Chieftains version. You can look for Joan Baez or Bob Dylan versions, too.

Marty Robbins - El Paso (Audio) -- Marty Robbins version of El Paso.

Grateful Dead - "Me and My Uncle" - Grateful Dead 'Skull & Roses' (1971) -- and you gotta have a Greatful Dead song, "Me and My Uncle."

I would say there is a whole lot of overlap between country and folk.

“The bold IRA…”

The topic sis Country FOLK songs, right?

Though monstrously over played on radio,and its mystery impaired by a stupid movie It ws one of the biggest crossovers and most covered songs of all time.

I have forvgiven this song for its grotesque popularity and recognize it as THE greatest country/blues/folk stories EVER

"Well I'm sittin' down here in San Anton, my woman left me here last night"...

Lately, been digging a lot of Brandi Carlile and her collabs with other country artists, however this is my #1, as my dad and i used to listen to HW on Saturday nights.
