Sweet!

Peter Lowry

I am an orphan on God's highwayBut I'll share my troubles if you go my wayI have no mother, no fatherNo sister, no brotherI am an *orphan girl*I have had friendships pure and goldenThe ties of kinship have not known themI know no mother, no fatherNo sister, no brotherI am an orphan girlBut when He calls me I will be ableTo meet my family at God's tableI'll meet my mother, my fatherMy sister, my brotherNo more an orphan girlBlessed Savior make me willingWalk beside me until I'm with themBe my mother, my fatherMy sister, my brotherI am an orphan girlI am an orphan girl

Footnote: "Orphan Child" was also sung by the Carter Family, and more recently by Jody Stecher & Kate Brislin . . and other performers.

Back in university days, Gillian was mesmerized when she first heard the music of the Stanley Brothers. It was the music she grew up with. So, given her passion for this genre of "mountain music", I would conclude that Gillian's composition, "Orphan Girl" was inspired by Ralph Stanley's song, "The Orphan Child". She certainly identifies with these parent-less kids who seemed to number so many, "back in the day" ( the depression era; war time). Trouble is, today, with cyberspace "kidnapping" kids at their earliest age . . within and outside their homes, John Paul II coined an interesting phrase: "Parents with orphans". So, Gillian's composition applies really well to this situation.

I was privileged to see Gillian and David open for The Buffalo Springfield at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 2011.

This is great, not sure I like the Crooked Still version, although the banjo player is excellent, it's too clever.

And Gillian is in fact an orphan girl, according to her Wikipedia page. And she and Dave are keeping real music alive today, I might add as a personal opinion.

In answer to John Capone. You are 100% correct.What they are passing off today is a mish mash of junk. The people you mentioned are country and Lucinda Williams in top notch. You may also want to consider Miranda Lambert and ...of course Willie Nelson. Another ,and yes he is touring, is the great Merle Haggard.

Great song,incredibly well done. A version of this and also extraordinary is sung by Mumford and Sons with Emmylou Harris.
