Well I am 77 and she's been scaring the life out of me. I must be one of the original students of Stefan Grossman and Rory Block's first teach yourself country blues educational LPs (with tab). What stands out for me is that she has not shied away from playing the songs as intended which is somewhat more challenging. Both Donovan and Stefan Grossman and probably others recorded simplified versions of Candyman, while Muireann Bradley has included some of the added improvisation von Rev Gary Davis.

I was ill over new year and sat at home feeling sorry for myself whilst reluctantly watching Jools Holland. Meh. Then this young woman comes on and plays a Gary Davis song like she owns it. Unbelievable. I’ve been obsessed ever since.

Thanks for this reply @jaydee3216. I'm sure the Bradley phone lines are overheating & as mentioned, it's probably a no-brainer that Michael/Emily Eavis will snap her up for this yr's Glastonbury, may well have done already in the past 24h. Kind of hope though that they don't go for the obvious fit of the acoustic stage, because if it's the same as 2022 Glasto, the BBC's impressive array of continuous live streams didn't quite extend to having a dedicated one for the acoustic stage. Would be fabulous if they went for something like West Holts or Other Stage (or, dare I suggest, Pyramid). So many more people around the world would get to see this wonderfully talented young lady.

Celebrating Elizabeth Cotten who was born over 129 years ago this week (January 5, 1893 - June 29, 1987) Jerry Garcia was a big fan of Cotten's, so much so, that he did his own rendition to her song 'Shake Sugaree'. Although the Grateful Dead played their version 'Sugaree' for years and recorded it on a few different albums, Miss Cotton never received royalties for her work. In Miss Cotton's later years she worked as an in-house maid and nanny for a man who was a dead head. When the man figured out just who Miss Cotton was, he did everything possible to try to get Miss Cotton royalties for her work. The man wrote the record companies, the Grateful Dead organization and anyone else who could possibly help get Miss Cotton some royalties for 'Sugaree'. He finally wrote Jerry Garcia. To the man's surprise, he received a response from Garcia within days. In the letter Garcia was delighted to hear that Miss Cotton was still alive and he explained what an influence she had been on him and his guitar style. Garcia went on to explain that the royalties for "Sugaree" were under the record label's control so it was out of his hands but if Miss Cotton would allow him to record 'Oh Babe it Ain't No Lie' he would make sure that she received 100% of the royalties. From then until the end of her life she received a monthly check. One of Miss Cotton's friend asked her 'How you getting this money to buy all this new stuff?' Elizabeth Cotton replied, 'Some dead people out of San Francisco send it to me.' Anytime Jerry performed 'Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie', he deadicated it to her.

This is a lovely story, and the "Oh Babe" side of it might be true enough, but it's a stretch to say that the Garcia/Hunter "Sugaree" first recorded on the 1972 Garcia album is a "rendition" of Libba's song, given that it has a completely different approach, lyric-wise AND melody-wise. Sugaree is closer in spirit to a Tom Dooley or Tell Old Bill type of song, referring to approaching death or retribution from the law - "when they bring that wagon round", and please, please "just don't tell them that you know me", whereas Cotten's song is a lament to the fact that she has pawned everything she ever owned, but then again 'didn't I have a rare old time doing it, and didn't I "shake sugaree"' (a reference to throwing sugar on the floor and then dancing enthusiastically on it, producing percussive sounds when the dancers' feet move on the sugared floor). Robert Hunter most certainly knew Libba's song, just as Fred Neil did in 1966 (and Neil's song is a hundred times closer to the Cotten than is Sugaree). But since it's really only a copy in the NAME, and at most could be described as the 'inspiration' for the Garcia/Hunter/Dead tune, I'm at a bit of a loss as to why the deadhead in question thought there was a real case for paying her author's royalties on it. Hunter himself had this to say on the subject in the liner notes for the 2004 box set 'All Good Things: The Jerry Garcia Studio Sessions'. “People assumed that the idea was cadged from Elizabeth Cotten’s ‘Shake Sugaree’, but in fact, the song was originally titled ‘Stingaree’, which is a poisonous South Sea manta. Why change the title to ‘Sugaree’? I just thought it sounded better that way. It made the addressee seem more hard-bitten to bear a sugar-coated name. The song, as I imagine it, is addressed to a pimp. And, yes, I knew Libba’s song, and did indeed borrow the new name from her, suggested by the ‘shake it’ refrain.” Well, whatever. But if Jerry did what he did, good on him. Good man. 'Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie' featured briefly in the Dead's live repertoire during the 1980s. Nothing like as much as 'Sugaree', however, which was on the set-list for a quarter of a century and played over 300 times live.

I agree with you. I couldn't hear where Sugaree came from Shake Sugaree. I copied and pasted that from somewhere. @@williemctell5898
