I´ve also heard countless versions, singles and duets, but nothing close to this.

@@olenilsen4660 I own the CD Red Dirt Girl (yes, children, back in the day this is how we did music, lol) and I know FAK that Emmylou (along with Graham Parsons and Fleetwood Mac) is one of their major influences so for them so sing this song in front of her and just fucking nail it is such a huge accomplishment. It's never a contest, IMO, you can appreciate more than one version of a song if it's done right and this is done right. FAK is one of my favourite bands and so glad I got to them in concert in July '23 at The Fillmore in Philly with my BFF. This was my bday present to her, and though she didn't know FAK, she is a big Fleetwood Mac fan and very much appreciated FAK, especially the cover they did of Songbird. You didn't piss in anyone's bed (I prefer the term "piss in someone's daisies" from Kim Harrison's The Hallow's series), so I know what you mean about them 'nailing' this song. They absolutely did and it's no knock on Emmylou.

Me and my best friend Lillian And her blue tick hound dog Gideon, Sittin on the front porch cooling in the shade Singin every song the radio played Waitin for the Alabama sun to go down Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town Me and Lillian Just across the line and a little southeast of Meridian. She loved her brother I remember back when He was fixin up a '49 Indian He told her 'Little sister, gonna ride the wind Up around the moon and back again" He never got farther than Vietnam, I was standin there with her when the telegram come For Lillian. Now he's lyin somewhere about a million miles from Meridian. She said there's not much hope for a red dirt girl Somewhere out there is a great big world Thats where I'm bound And the stars might fall on Alabama But one of these days I'm gonna swing My hammer down Away from this red dirt town I'm gonna make a joyful sound She grew up tall and she grew up thin Buried that old dog Gideon By a crepe myrtle bush in the back of the yard, Her daddy turned mean and her mama leaned hard Got in trouble with a boy from town Figured that she might as well settle down So she dug right in Across a red dirt line just a little south east from Meridian She tried hard to love him but it never did take It was just another way for the heart to break So she dug right in. But one thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got em You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom There ain't know end. At least not for Lillian Nobody knows when she started her skid, She was only 27 and she had five kids. Coulda' been the whiskey, Coulda been the pills, Coulda been the dream she was trying to kill. But there won't be a mention in the news of the world About the life and the death of a red dirt girl Names Lillian Who never got any farther across the line than Meridian. Now the stars still fall on Alabama Tonight she finally laid That hammer down Without a sound In the red dirt ground

I absolutely love these two. I've not heard such great harmonising from a duo since the every brothers. First aid kit don't seem to get enough air play on British radio and I just don't understand why. They are amazing. ( just bought their new album last weekend, love love love it!!!!!. Keep it up girls. Xx

Wow! These two young ladies are wonderful. Where have they been? Sweden, of course! Where a lot of great music and singers emerge from. Let me think. Ah, yes, ABBA, Roxette, Ace of Base just to mention a few. Sweden has a great history of local folk music, so I am not that surprised to here a couple of Swedes singing U.S. style country/blue grass music. It's just that they are so fantastic at it. Great harmony and vocalisation. Wonderful.

It really is amazing that two Swedish girls can do our ( USA) music so well. It is like they grew up hearing this music but, like a boy from Tupulo moved worlds for some boys from Liverpool, Gram and Emmylou did same for these girls.

No offense but since when does it matter where you come from to do some sort of music? Isn't that the point of music that you just have to feel it 🤔

so can you link germans doing this? or nigerians? yes, it does matter. some countries are better at this than others, namely swedes, americans or brits are better than germans or nigerians. but thus far it's not too weird because swedes have been doing this a long time...boys and girls. i'm assuming it's because swedish culture alone is too boring to them. but i'm also wondering what does this has to do with swedish culture?
@sixstrings6666 жыл бұрын
So you think that music came from the US? It comes from European folk music from immigrants.
@i40046 жыл бұрын
in english? so that would presume uk at some time. show us. what english performer sounded like this. ever. as for acousic guitar, yeah, humans had that before. but this package is as american as it can get. it's not swedish or european. untill you prove it. apparently, you'll also need to find something with slide guitar included.
