Music Appreciation
Related: About this forumShifting gears from the psychedelic and classic rock of the last few posts.
Tonight is country, folk, or southern music including one from a piano player from the south of England.
The Band - The Weight from their album Music From Big Pink released 1n 1968. Nazareth is a town in Pennsylvania, home of C. F. Martin & Co, the makers of the guitar Robbie Robertson used to come up with the song. The characters in the song were real people the members of the band knew.
Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, another song by Robbie Robertson of The Band. The Baez version peaked at #2 in 1971.
Elton John - My Father’s Gun from the album Tumbleweed Connection released in 1971. As if we needed another reminder that we already had a civil war in this country.
