Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick with Julie Felix : Byker Hill / Early Morning Rain (1967)

[@Lukeydookee]

Delightful. A fine looking lady singing smilingly, unpretentiously, with unrestrained fulness of voice; just seemingly being herself and enjoying every moment of it.

[@robertm7071]

Simply wonderful to see the lovely Julie Felix and then Dave and Martin, just as we want to remember them - in their prime and never to age. What joy they brought us and now blessed we are to have known their music. When they are joined by Julie we are reminded of the beauty of her voice - as was the norm in those days, just sung straight with a purity now lost in an age of absurd and incoherent vocal histrionics.

What a charming young lady and talented too. Bob Dylan tipped me off to Martin Carthy. You could live several lifetimes and need never stop learning about and discovering new music.

❤Gudomlig vacker kvinna fantastisk sångröst from Sweden ❤❤❤

RIP Julie. I first heard heard her as a 5 year old in the mid-60s, my dad was obsessed. She may well have been the first singer I knew by name. Her version of Masters Of War used to scare me rigid, I remember that. I always asked my father to skip it when he played the LP when I was in the room.

Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain” is one of my favourites, but it is a sad song and has been jollied-up too much here.

[@scrimshank1]

What a gem. Beautiful voice of Julie backed by two of my favourite musicians doing a song of one of my favourite song writers.

[@thewordofgord]

[@1rogerian]

So sad to lose this beautiful, gifted singer

[@miffmiff]

Incredible footage. We forget Julie was very popular in the late 60s. My wife remembers seeing her solo show at the Royal Albert Hall around this time.

[@MarioPapworth]

[@fastteddyb]

Wow - never heard of her - seems like lovely lady. She sounds GREAT! When songs were songs with great stories and depth

[@sanddancer1951]

I'd forgotten about her and found her again by accident when searching for songs by the Incredible String Band.

[@JoshuaPolak]

On Early Morning Rain is that bass I'm hearing Danny Thompson?

[@danuwintersong22]

✨💙✨

[@machendave]

Back when singers sang without needing autotune

[@AndrewCalhounSongs]

Millions of us sing without autotune. Look around.

[@machendave]

@@AndrewCalhounSongs Granted, but look at the ones who get into the charts that do use it.

[@wadefite]

when folk musicians wore ties!

[@redtrummy]

That was the chaps! The girls wore mini skirts - good of them!

[@HenryParkerMusic]

I wonder who the out -of-shot double bass player was?

[@scrimshank1]

I think Martin lowered his tuning to make the guitar sound like a bass. Just watch his picking and match it to the bass beat.

[@fearandloathinginskegvegas5392]

Sounds like Danny Thompson

[@raphaelcallaghan4804]

How did that survive, and is there any more from Julie's shows? Also, who was on double bass?

[@YorkyOne]

What double bass? Martin Carthy on the bottom strings.

[@randybackgammon890]

Plenty if you tube 'once more with Felix'

[@Eduardo-Ferreira1982]

No, there's a double bass sound in it, and it's not Carthy playing.

[@jamesfitzgerald6636]

David Frost got in with Julie, Completely ruined early morning rain which deserves a bit more emotion when singing it as opposed to Butlins holiday camp!

[@RockyDave]

Agree. Beautiful smile, but not appropriate for this song.

[@henrylarsson3150]

Sagolik gudinna fantastisk sångröst Slava Ukraina ☮️❤️❤️ 😍 Slava Ukraina ☮️❤️😍 hälsningar från Sweden

[@maxwellfan55]

Martin and Dave great together but failed with Julie who gave all only to be backed by weak guitar and mandolin folksy picking and no harmony vocal. This powerful Gordon Lightfoot song deserved better, a lot better.
