Let me tell you something. This was a magic time, a magic moment, Theresa was on Fire and the whole band was being held up by the Holy Spirit! So Blessed to have been party of those last Grammy Award Winning Years and all the special nights at the Barn that went with it. This is one example of the magic that Got a Hold. ❤️❤️❤️

Long Black Veil has been one of my favorite Americana songs ever, since I was 15. When my son went to dance through Croatia in 2000, with Vela Luka dance troupe, they did Western music and dance, LBV was everyone’s favorite Western song.❤

Levon will always be one of my favorites too. The Band was great! I’ve always said, Levon was the heart and soul of The Band. The kid from Turkey Scratch Arkansas. There is a Rock N Roll Heaven. And they have one helluva drummer. His name is Levon Helm.

One of the more interesting things about the Long Black Veil is that it is not an ancient song of Appalachia The truth is that "Long Black Veil" is a 1959 country ballad, written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell.

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all agreed That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me The judge said son, what is your alibi If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But late at night, when the north wind blows In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, nobody sees Nobody knows but me

Check Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings in Victoria, closing the show with this. Seriously...very subdued interpretation. I like anything Levon ever did, including this, but it could be argued this might be a bit energetic and stompy for the lyrical subject matter...not that I'd make that argument. But I wouldn't go so far as to say there are no better versions till you hear Welch and Rawlings...and possibly others.
