Muleskinner - Dark Hollow - KCET Television 1973 Richard Greene - fiddle David Grisman - mandolin Bill Keith - banjo Peter Rowen - vocals, guitar Clarence White - vocals, guitar Stuart Schulman - bass
As fine as this is, I thought you might like to hear my favorite version: Keith Whitley with JD Crowe & The New South. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PEe-rd9tVJk.html
This is my favorite version of Dark Hollow. There's a funny glance between Clarence and Peter after the small goof up on the second verse. David Grisman looks like he's having a seizure at times back there at times whilst being moved by the music. Clarence was lost far too soon!
I tried to copy (as best as I could) that guitar solo. It wasn’t until I saw the tape that I realized Clarence was playing with a capo. Not that having that knowledge brought me any closer to being able to copy the break. I just have bits and pieces of it. And I agree, one of the best ever.
@@Mickey.SilverStaXXX yes, I figured out the capo thing. I could see then how he was playing some of the runs/licks that I just couldn’t see out of the C position. But as I said, that didn’t bring me any closer to being able to replicate that entire break.
Historic performance. I read somewhere, that Bill Monroe was supposed to be part of Muleskinner, but had transportation problems. It appears at the 1:28 mark, that Clarence flashes a small grin at Peter, probably for forgetting the words, a couple seconds earlier.
Muleskinner was a band name for this 1973 formed bluegrass players group. Also here is a early Bob Dylan version of the song called Muleskinner Blues.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O5xSSPZeeUk.html Also a Pete Seeger & Ramblin Jack Elliot version of Muleskinner Blues from 1966. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fmi7EF93Z_w.html
I’d rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun don’t ever shine Than to be at home alone And knowing that you’re gone Would cause me to lose my mind Then blow your whistle freight train Blow it far on down the track But I’m going away I’m leaving today I’m going but I ain’t coming back I’d rather be in some dark hollow Where the sun don’t ever shine Than to be in some big city In a small room with your love on my mind Then blow your whistle freight train.... Note that either Pete or Clarence makes a mistake on the second verse.
About the 4th line in the first verse: I've never yet heard a version, including this one, where it's 'And the way that you’re gone'. It's always '(and) knowing that you're gone'.
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer It's patterned after a Martin Dreadnought for sure, but it has dark binding and a regular size sound hole. Clarence didn't like to play lead on the D-28. He used it for rhythm.
What is that intermediate bridge thing on Clarence's guitar? And how does it work? Is that part of his B- Bender? And a great great bunch of talent. RIP ,Six strings down.
intermediate bridge thing is called a capo. A capo enables you to instantly change the key of a song. In 1966, Clarence White acquired a custom Roy Noble guitar, which became his main guitar during his Muleskinner days and his main acoustic guitar during his time with the Byrds.
@@fuzzyallan I know what a Capo is. But he is playing behind it. You can't do that with any Capo I've ever seen. LOL! He's fingering down on the lower frets.
