A curio this one.
Never heard of Planxty doing this song, which was originaly recorded by Foy and Maggie Gant (no, me neither)in Texas in the 1930's,but it probably stems from the late 19th century.
It was re-discovered by Peggy Seeger in the 50's and recorded again by Joan Baez in the 60's
Donal (surpisingly) duets with Andy.

Planxty should have let Donal take the lead vocals more often. He has a gorgeous gravelly voice.

@radharcanna 4 года назад

That sounds as fresh today as it did the first time. They were such a great band.

@Teddyb1939 10 лет назад

Classic Planxty,good to hear Donal doilng lead vocals.

I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s and got to see Planxty a lot. The 70’s were a great time for Irish music.

Go for it, Donal. Who'd a thunk it? You knock the hell out of this song. Rare indeed. And great--all the boys. Thanks for the post.

@craigmiller1870 3 года назад

Of all the Planxty songs...there's just something about this one.

@smaldenjoveson 2 года назад

Indeed. Instant favorite!

Best version of this song I have ever heard...the picking is amazing...very rich and smooth...love it!!!

@mikesaage7664 7 месяцев назад

Its good but new lost city ramblers is less polished, shorter, more simple and feels moore real to me, although this versions has spirit as well

@mikesaage7664 5 месяцев назад

What about new lost City ramblers?

@sakkorig 12 лет назад

I love how Lunny can pick with his whole wrist and arm and not move his body at all. His simple work with his instraments is masking his true talent with them! His voice is not often heard, but it is marvelous.

Stunning! What we need are Planxty and Bothy Band definitive collections. Why aren't people doing this?

Haha I just realized Andy is wearing a tunic with sunflowers. That's amazing XD Oh, the 70s.

For those of yis who never noticed, this is rare as hen's teeth....the great Planxty crew - but with Lunny singing......fuckin' class or what? Like I said before: God be with the long-haired 70s!

What a surprise! A stunning version of this tune that shows an unexpected similarity to The Band. Wonderful lead vocal from Donal no less. A side of Planxty that I never imagined. Ten stars.

Look at them then compared to now or even a few years after this was recorded! Their hair is short and the hippy tunics are well gone. Great video. I had never heard of this song before but now I cant get it out of my head

I met Donal in Belfast at a 'masterclass' for bouzouki players. He told me this was an odd one alright from American folk tradition, love his singing.

Planxty had a good grasp of American folk styles. This odd song was collected by John A & Alan Lomax. Good versions waxed by Mike Seeger and Ian & Sylvia in the 1960s

I wish the text under the video gave information on where the video was made. Delightful as this music is, particulars on source only make RU-vid postings the more wonderful. Sláinte!

@tonymolloy6165 3 года назад

It was first broadcast on 18/06/1973 on RTÉ Irelands state broadcaster. It was recorded at The National Stadium Dublin, sometime during the previous summer, 1972 according to RTÉ. Can't find actual the recording date though. It was rebroadcast by TG4, Ireland's irish language tv station, the version above. I agree with you about putting the date on videos if possible.

Mike Seeger, as well as Ian and Sylvia had nice versions of this slighty strange, but colorful song in the 1960s. The Gant family were reorded by the Lomaxes in Texas.

I heard that Donal used to do this song back in the day when he was with Emmet Spiceland. Might have got that wrong, though.

Sure wish I had this on a CD... it is my favorite version of the song, which I first heard from Ian & Sylvia... then Mike Seeger.... if anyone has it recorded, I would be willing to buy a copy... thanks!

@ThumbAndFingers 13 лет назад

Does anybody know about harmonica tuning Andy uses? Does he use Paddy Richter or just standard Richter ones?

@alderneyfred 12 лет назад

It IS American. New Lost City Ramblers and many others recorded this in the early folk revival 20 years before this.

@@TheWaverleys Hi! Thanks for the info. I managed to play it in my blues harmonica in G but like you say, there’s some bending required to get all the notes.
