Bob Dylan - North Country Blues

Come gather 'round friends And I'll tell you a tale Of when the red iron pits ran plenty. But the cardboard-filled windows And old men on the benches Tell you now that the whole town is empty. In the north end of town, My own children are grown But I was raised on the other. In the wee hours of youth, My mother took sick And I was brought up by my brother. The iron ore poured As the years passed the door, The drag-lines an' the shovels they was a-humming. 'Til one day my brother Failed to come home The same as my father before him. Well a long winter's wait, From the window I watched. My friends they couldn't have been kinder. And my schooling was cut As I quit in the spring To marry John Thomas, a miner. Oh the years passed again And the givin' was good, With the lunch bucket filled every season. What with three babies born, The work was cut down To a half a day's shift with no reason. Then the shaft was soon shut And more work was cut And the fire in the air, it felt frozen. 'Til a man come to speak And he said in one week That number eleven was closin'. They complained in the East, They are paying too high. They say that your ore ain't worth digging. That it's much cheaper down In the South American towns Where the miners work almost for nothing. So the mining gates locked And the red iron rotted And the room smelled heavy from drinking. Where the sad, silent song Made the hour twice as long As I waited for the sun to go sinking.

North Country Blues - Bob Dylan (Cover)

Leave it to Bob Dylan to write such timeless songs. Some forty-seven years later this song is even more relevant. Look at all the mining, manufacturing, and various other jobs lost to other countries, where "it's much cheaper down in the (any country) towns where the (laborers) work almost for nothin." Let's not forget the many mills shut in states such as NC and PA.

Here's one that's a little more appropriate for my voice. More Dylan. I know I said I was gonna take a break from covering his stuff but I can't help it. He has me firmly under his spell : ) This actually took a lot out of me and not only did I almost start to cry several times while singing it but I did cry after. Woa...he can really write can't he?

Blues From The Mississippi Hill Country - RL Burnside and Johnny Woods LIVE (Part 1 of 2)

§Hill country blues is NOT the stuff that Muddy Waters took to Chicago. It's the stuff that stayed behind in Mississippi. This may be why Junior Kimbrough's music sounds sadder, and uses fewer chords, than Muddy's: because the lives of its creators were more circumscribed. The hill country elders didn't have the big hits that Muddy, Wolf, Little Walter, BB King enjoyed. They didn't have tour buses. They didn't play the Regal and the Apollo. They didn't wear matching suits. They wore truckers' caps and cowboy boots. They stayed home. They farmed, drove tractors, worked for themselves. They played houseparties and picnics. They rocked Kimbrough's juke in Chulahoma. Hill country blues is functional: it's all about the groove, and the dancers who move to the groove. (It's also about the women: guitarist Jessie Mae Hemphill, granddaughter of multi-instrumentalist Sid Hemphill.) §The hill country is NOT the Delta. The Mississippi Delta is a teardrop-shaped flood plain that sits in the northwestern quadrant of the state. Memphis is the northern tip of the Delta; Vicksburg is the southern tip. The Mississippi River is the Delta's western flank; the Yazoo River is the eastern flank. The Delta all lies west of I-55. The Mississippi Delta is extremely flat--so flat that you notice its flatness the moment you enter it on any of the dozen-odd state highways that cross the interstate and sail down into it. Historically, the Delta counties had a very high proportion of African American <b>...</b>

Johnny Cash & Bob Dylan - Girl From The North Country

"Girl from the North Country" is a song written by Bob Dylan. It was first released in 1963 as the second track on Dylan's second studio album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Dylan re-recorded the song as a duet with Johnny Cash in 1969. That recording became the first track on Nashville Skyline, Dylan's ninth studio album. John R. "Johnny" Cash'[ (February 26, 1932 -- September 12, 2003), born JR Cash, was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. He has been a major figure in popular music for five decades.Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was at first an informal chronicler, and later an apparently reluctant figurehead of social unrest.

George Hamilton IV - My North Country Home BCD 17146 3 CD digipac with 68-page booklet GENRE Country / Canadian TRACKS 82 PLAYING TIME 242:42 A 3-CD collection of Canadian-penned material, by the most famous Canadian songwriters -- Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, Ray Griff, Buffy St. Marie, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Cockburn, Leonard Cohen, Dick Damron, Gene MacLellan, and others. George Hamilton IV recorded 16 Gordon Lightfoot songs -- more than any other artist in history. All are found on this collection. Contains all of George Hamilton IV's 'country-folk' era material from 1965-1975, showcasing his fascination for 'Canadiana'. An essential collection for George Hamilton IV fans, and collectors of Canadian country music. INFORMATION George Hamilton IV will always be known as the 'International Ambassador Of Country Music.' The perennial Grand Ole Opry star has been in the limelight since his first hit A Rose And A Baby Ruth in 1956. After George's biggest hit, Abilene, in 1963, he began recording in a folkier style, what he called "songs that had story lines, painted pictures and, most importantly, songs that said something." When he heard Gordon Lightfoot on the radio while touring Canada, he focused his attention on a crop of up-and-coming singer/songwriters from North of the Border. Soon George was recording 'folk-country' songs by Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Ray Griff, Ian Tyson, and many of Canada's brightest young songwriters (many of whom would go on to <b>...</b>
