康定情歌 The Love Song Of Kangding​

 

[Jackcatscal]

“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"...

 

[BRS24]

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.

I could fill this with Hank Snow songs. Here's country from a great Nova Scotian, the singing Ranger.

 

[Hoops66]

Ok, here's another...

 

[Hoops66]

Johnny cash did a pretty good cover, but here's the original by Hank...with the lyrics.

 

[Hoops66]

And which one from Patsy Cline? Too many I think.

Here's a country classic that could be a nice tribute to former Uconn Husky players that we miss! It's sung, of course by a great country singer Ferlin Husky! (no kidding)

This one will be fun. I'll start off with this one. One of many Ian Tyson/Sylvia Fricker compositions that I will probably be adding.

This one has been covered by a lot of different artists, but this version by Judy Collins is my favorite.

 

[Ozimoto]

This is another favorite of mine. The origins are obscure, but is a touch stone song in the library of American Folk Music

 

[Ozimoto]

A lot of good songs in the genre from our Canadian Friends. Here is one from Gordon Lightfoot.

 

[SalinasV]

Emmylou released this fantastic song a decade before Willie and Merle did.

 

[Ozimoto]

I like to try to post songs that many people wouldn't be aware of otherwise, but that still have an arrangement or story that grabs the listener. This is another Ian Tyson composition based on some actual events. This is a really energetic rendition of the song.
