The Blackest Crow - Tim O'Brien, Dirk Powell, John Herrmann - Songs From The Mountain скачать видео бесплатно
"The blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn to white, if ever I prove false to you bright day will turn to night." This traditional ballad of undying love is beautiful and has beautiful harmonies which kick in at 1:37 to go with the lyrics and tune. The Civil War style traditional love song is something to behold. It's amazing to me that people actually talked and wrote like this. Poetry in every day use. "The Blackest Crow" is from the album, "Songs From the Mountain" released in 1998. Dirk Powell, Tim O'Brien, and John Herrmann wanted to stay true to the Appalachian roots of the mountains during the Civil War era and did an incredible job of this on their album.
These three musicians were so taken with the book, 'Cold Mountain' by Charles Frazier, that they wanted to make a companion cd. This cd was made PRIOR to both the movie and the movie soundtrack for 'Cold Mountain'. The album is filled with authentic music you could hear throughout the mountains during the Civil War period and before. You can hear it now if you are extremely lucky. Enjoy the past and now the future! "Songs From the Mountain" is an enduring testament to the music of the Appalachians. ENJOY!!!

I was just telling a friend of mine about this song. Every time I hear this song I tear up from thinking of my Grandfathers last moments here. He and my Grandmothers last few words to each other was the most sweetest moment I've ever experienced in my life. When I hear this, it takes me back and I can still picture those two looking at each other with so much love in their eyes. <3 9 years назад

I just posted a version of this by Bruce Molsky & found a bit of his music. If you freeze it, perhaps you can get some of the notes. It does look like his in in G also. Thanks again, Moppet10 years назад

Bruce Molsky's version from Lost Boy is supposed to be close to the original sound. The very first recordings don't exist anymore. I sent info on an article that I found. Hope this is a little help. I hope someday you find a version that is close the the earliest ones played. My best, Moppet10 years назад

Bruce Molsky's version from his cd, Lost Boy, is supposed to be close to the original sound. The very first recordings don't exist anymore. I sent info on an article that I found. Hope this is a little help. I love primitive music, as I call it. Some call it roots music. I hope someday you find a version that is close the the earliest ones played. My best, Moppet10 years назад

A listener, David Rutland, says it is in G. I didn't see his comment connecting to you, but utube changes their format so often it's confusing, but I wanted you to see this. My best, Moppet10 years назад

Thanks so much for listening and commenting. You are welcome anytime. My best, Moppet p.s. I have a lot going on right now.

Only other version of this that I'm familiar with was recorded by Sweeney's Men (Andy Irvine & Terry Woods) and known on that album as "My Dearest Dear". The album is a lot like an Irish study of traditional American music, simmilar to David Wilkie's (Canada) "Cowboy Celtic" which is an American study of Irish music.11 years назад

I cant seem to find any early recordings of this. Just the modern day versions like Tim Eriksen and Bruce Molsky. Id like to hear where all these artists drew from.11 years назад

Sounds like a good time and sounds like they had good music for you to listen to. I love this song also. It reminds me of Ken Burns Civil War documentary when they read some of those poetic letters the men wrote home...the men who didn't return. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate it very much. If you like old timey, Civil War, mountain music,Tim O'Brien (or Songs From the Mountain), put them in "Search Channel" on my Channel Page & you will get lots of good stuff! I even tag instruments!11 years назад

@grogforsale You found it a few years before me. I think I got it in the very early 2000's. I can only imagine how it would feel to see the sun setting on the hills with this playing. What a treat! I'd have to drive several hours to see that...Thanks so much for your comment. It is much appreciated, MoppetПохожие клипы
