I love Neil Young so much, Rellen13. Have you read his new autobiograpy? I'm reading it right now, and it's great.
Some of the more rural/farming folks that I've met here on the forum have me remembering my mom singing this before a billion years of teaching did a number on her vocal chords -
Rellen13, I love James Taylor. Have lots of his stuff. But the only two songs I really don't care for are Slap Leather and Steamroller. He does a wonderful rendition of The Water is Wide.
^^Gil, who could really hear that one too many times, anyway?? CATastrophe, the song you posted was new to me, and it really was moving. Got me thinking of all the folk music that I just call crib-songs (very earliest memories have The Weavers in the background).
Becky, really? You never heard that by John Prine? It's a classic in the folk world. He writes wonderful lyrics. I first heard Paradise when it was on a John Denver album. I loved John Denver and had many many of his albums. How about Tom Paxton? He was a great writer and performer, too. Found out about him through John singing his songs, too.
I remember seeing Joe on TV and he stood very straight with his hands at his sides and they kind of shook. I think he was singing a duet, but I can't remember with whom. Whenever I think of him, that's the image I get.
