Nothing interesting was done with this arrangement.

Yes there are lots and lots of biblical deleted scenes, from a whole load of "non canonical" gospels that didn't make it into the official version of the bible. Even some of our classic Christian tropes like Mary on the donkey, and the ox and the ass in the nativity scene cone from these 'apocryphal' gospels! The Jesus that these gospels show is far from the meek and mild character we have become accustomed to! And folk lore perpetuated many of these deleted scenes, as here. Catherine Nixey's excellent book "Heresy" is a great source of info.

Thankyou for this - first saw Martin at newcastle folk club in the 1980s - I was blown away then - still great to hear him

I love this version. His voice is frail with age, but it suits this song; like these old recordings of collected folk songs he mentions.

So he's saying the woman wrote the arrangement - who was the woman, was it Norma?

I could listen to Martin talk about this song all day. At some point in the future, people will say that our generation were lucky to have lived in the same time as these legends of the folk revival. If you look at the way the music industry has progressed over the last ten years, i doubt it'll happen again. Martin is playing a very different arrangement, full of feeling. Very powerful, giving a voice to history and folklore. Remarkable performance.

Oh my jeebus-how I do love--and always have--the mighty, magisterial martin! He's 82 now and Norma-less, but he's mellowed like a fine Amontillado. Those hands . . .I never missed him when he came to my home town and never missed a chance to pester him to perform "The Unfortunate Tailor." I weep at the thought of a world without him😢. May he live on and on 😂 Yes--I am an unabashed fanboy. .

Must be 60 years since Martin taught this song (his version) to Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. This version is slightly different I think, perhaps the Cecil Sharp House version that he discusses.

He’s always said that Paul Simon ripped off his arrangement but it’s nothing like it at all. Carthy’s version is a dreadful dirge in comparison

I completely disagree. Ageing musicians should be treasured and supported. There is nothing about this performance that would suggest that he should give up. I love this version of the song. He plays it with honesty and charm. Any imperfections are minor.
@karlmylnere57123 ай бұрын
@@Geohouli He is treasured , and always will be , but his performances are certainly not as in the past , people seeing and hearing him for the first time would not be overly impressed, his voice is quavery and his playing has lost some of its intensity, for the sake of his reputation he would be better served by stopping live performances,having first encountered him over fifty years ago I can say with much regret that age has caught up with him , if we are lucky it happens to all of us ,

Great rendition. I have been on this earth for 74 years, seen this ballad in print several times but never heard anyone actually sing it before. Like the Jews Daughter of Islington, the story is so distasteful that few singers will sing it. I am glad that you did because it says a lot about the social history of the time it refers to. Very interesting. The withy is a pagan reference, not sure of "Sweet Jesus" murdering his bullies. Maybe a comment on the class system- those with wealth and privilege abusing those with less? Not a Christian but it reminds me of the bible story of Christ attacking the moneylenders in the temple at Jerusalem.
