So; one of the lesser-known 'celebrities' with whom I shared a birthday died. A singer, player, and scholar of American folk music, she was part of the massively influential but often over-looked American folk movement of the '40s and '50s.The youngest of 14 children, the ten girls all sharing one room in the family farmhouse. She graduated university, shared stages with Woody Guthrie and The Weavers, won a Fulbright scholarship to study the history of American folk songs, and authored some original songs (before Dylan made doing so fashionable)Jean Ritchie.

Crazy how the instruments are panned. You don't hear that much. Wonderful song! I first heard it from Johnny Cash and have been playing it myself for years. Nice to hear the original lyricist delivering it.

I think it must be the 1965. It's not the one on the "None But One" album.

The L&N don't stop here anymore.
