Every week a new video is uploaded featuring a song or transcription of traditional music like "Old-time, Folk, Americana, Bluegrass, Celtic, Irish, Jazz, Blues among others.
Heres my cover on "The Swimming Song" written by the great songwriter Loudon Wainwright. A song that I think fits good for the summer heat.
The song appeared on Wainwright’s fourth exposition of witty wordplay, Attempted Mustache, in 1973, recorded in Nashville in four days. Kate and Loudon played banjos on The Swimming Song and she dueted on Dilated To Meet You, written for Rufus who was waiting to be born. The LP was a flop commercially but Wainwright believes some of his finest songs appeared on it - Down Drinking At The Bar, Lullaby, The Man Who Couldn’t Cry and The Swimming Song itself.
Hope ya'll enjoy!
