John Hurt wrote this tune, but Maria Muldaur owns it.
@andrewz45377 ай бұрын
She's been singing this Hurt song for so long (over 50 years) she almost owns it. Interesting Kweskin modestly doesn't take a solo here, he certainly could. perhaps deferring to Sebastian who does it just fine.

Saw these guys often on Boston, Charles Street and other places. My favorite was at UMass, I think, in 1967 they did an afternoon with Phil Oches, The Mitchel (then with John Denver), and the Jug Band. What an afternoon. They all hung out and some of us had a chance to chat with all of them. A great day!

I am informed that the original lyrics to that tune were a lot more X-rated. Apparently everyone from John Hurt on up has cleaned it up to be more kid friendly. I can't point you to a link with the more ribald lyrics. Don't know if one exists on You-Tube.

Met kweskin at the folklore center, he was going to play at the second fret in Philadelphia, Mel wasn’t going, he said I could come along and play.., Maria played the fiddle with her hips, Bill Keith had perfect pitch, wed drive over a pot hole nd he’d sing out the note, kept a stash under the horn on the steering wheel. Mel had the most remarkable control of his harmonica, just the most beautiful sounds.. the second fret was a wonderful club, a miniature concert hall, very respectful audieneces

I agree with Rodney Kitchen. That's not John Sebastian. It's Geoff Muldaur, one of the original members of The Jim Kweskin Jug Band. Maria D'Amtao was also a member of the band. She married Geoff Muldaur and became "Maria Muldaur".

That's John on the 6 string Banjo, no doubt, who is the young fella on 5 string? What most folks missed is that although Bill Keith is not in this group, as he should be, his son, Martin is playing bass, which I think is pretty damned cool. Maria does not sing on this song, because they arranged it as a duet, get over it. She is, and will always be, the bomb.

Maria's voice has dropped a lot over the years, in pitch, not quality, but it's still great. She changed the words a bit. "Come blowin' your horn" changed to "Doncha take your time." Works just as well.

Unless the voice was low to begin with, all the singers from that time have dropped an octave. Even the trained singers lose the high notes. They either sing the whole thing lower - or drop down on the high parts. Tom Rush is about the only one who sounds the same. There's a clip of it from 66 (check the suggestions on the right or search it) and I think the words are the same, but I'd have to listen to both a few times (short term memory stuff, y'know). 8-)
