Saw Maria sing this song with the Jug Band back in the Spring of 1967 in Ann Arbor, MI. Fell in love with her and the band and have been a fan of jug band music ever since.

The Kweskin Jug Band has been one of my favourite bands since the 60s. Great music, great performers!

I´m 35 and My ex-lovely wife introduced me this band in 2005 in Montreal, this was the first song I listened and since then this nice band and so pleasant for the ears it´s been one of my favorites and now I have a Daughter and this song hits me so damn bad hard my heart. Saludos a todos!!!

[@briannielsen4613]

Maria has always been one of the Best...authentic with the Feel for music, no matter the type.

[@Katy-ye1zr]

The lovely Maria Muldaur, Kweskin band, inimitable John Sebastian, they were the best of times.

That there's some superstar power in my book.

[@quirtdrozario856]

Love this song.

[@alansmith4729]

Quality at its best !!!

[@karenfalch2929]

Did I see her play at the Well in Rosendale, NY in the waybacktime. I was mostly busy talking to a friend at the bar...

[@devans00]

Just watched a video of the Even Dozen Jug Band from the early 1960s. Other than Maria Muldaur, I wonder how many others in that group are still performing.

[@PHJimY]

I've seen both Jim Kweskin and Geoff Muldaur in Toronto (not together) in the last couple of years. They still put on a great show. Jim & Geoff have a recent CD that's super. Maria has done some jug band stuff lately too.

[@beachdog67]

Maria D'Amato!

What a Gal!

[@johnyfencewalker4781]

Been a fan for so long maria muldaur is the whole package

[@andrewz4537]

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.

[@kpasa111]

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.

[@Saaf62]

nice banjo solo

[@dwbonny3210]

👍🏼😀👍🏼

[@blairjones8231]

Bluegrass ? or Blues?

[@alansmith4729]

Country blues

[@frankandjudyinserra5964]

Old time, maybe?

[@sneadh1]

I wish she continued to sing like this, not her more recent style.

[@ABevs]

This jug band is a little short on jugs.

[@terryshepherd6993]

Hilarious! I also note the absence of a tea chest bass. But I don't care - I revere this band. KZbin has enabled me to see these videos when I just have the old vinyl from the 60's. Growing up in New Zealand I could only dream of seeing them live.

[@sneadh1]

Fritz Richmond was their jug player, He had another 10 years to llive, but may have been ill, moved on with his career, or otherwise not present for this performance.

[@sherrythegypsysalzman7032]

I've been in love with John Sebastian since I was ten. still am John ,I'd sing any time anywhere for free with you.

[@maggierobinson5626]

Maria's still got a great voice !

[@beachdog67]

Who's that kid back there on banjo? You don't find that many blues banjo pickers...

[@PHJimY]

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.

[@Me-lb8nd]

In the line "any dude will do", the original must have been "any cock will do".

[@BastDG]

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-)

[@hookalakah]

John Hurt wrote this tune, but Maria Muldaur owns it.

[@Dulcimerea]

Really about perfect . My new go-to song, aiong with anything by Willow Osborne, and also Mandolin Orange's recording of "Boots of Spanish Leather".

[@egskating]

Excellent! Doesn't get better than this!

[@relars52]

John Sebastian said in an interview that he learned a thing or two about Fingerpicking from the "Mayor of MacDougal St" - Dave Van Ronk.

[@JP_Buddy]

This has to be the best performance ever of Maria doing that song. The way she flirted with John is priceless.

[@maximemalecki3153]

Enorme la voie, et le reste des musicien.ne.s

[@maximemalecki3153]

Y'a que des musiciens. Mais énorme la voix !

[@SkeligMichael]

People playing Jug Music, seem to be happy people.
