It is indeed. You can hear more recordings of Allie Long Parker in the "Max Hunter Folk Song Collection". Just google it, it should be the first result that shows up. Even more recordings are to be found in the "Mary Celestia Parler Ozark Folk Song Collection" of the University of Arkansas. On both websites you can search for "Allie" to find the recordings. That should work.

Terribly haunting as only Obray could sing it. Love the way he sings terminal consonants.
@Liederfuchs 14 күн бұрын
That reminds me, I wish we had a recording of Obray Raymsey singing Young Emily. I heard Betty Smith sing it, she said she'd learned it from Obray and they sometimes sung it together, alternating verses. It's a hauntingly beautiful version. Young Emily was a pretty fair miss. She loved a driver boy Who drove the stage from the Golden Gate, Way down in the lowlands low, my love, Way down in the lowlands low. My father owns a boarding house Along yon river side. Go there, go there and enter in, This night with me abide, my love, This night with me abide. I like that song a lot, and Obray was such a good singer. I should try asking around if someone knows if he ever recorded it.

King Orfeo is a medieval retelling of an ages old story from ancient Greece. The story of Orpheus, a legendary musician who travelled to the underworld to rescue his wife Eurydice. Orpheus went to Hades and he failed to free his wife. Orfeo got a happy ending. He went to the fairy realm and suceeds in rescuing Isabel by charming the fairy king with the beauty of his musical performance. I don't think Isabel was dead, although I could be wrong. I want to think that "corpse" here refers to her being in a state of deep sleep or trance. The fairy king pierces her with a dart and it makes her fall asleep, then he caries her away to the fairy realm. Another great performance of King Orfeo was by Thor and Anne Marie. I have the video on my channel. Quality isn't great, but I love the power of that performance. Worth checking out.
@Liederfuchs Ай бұрын
Actually, looking at this text again, maybe she was dead and got revived. It could be a carryover from the Orpheus story where he literally went to the underworld, the realm of the dead, to get his wife back. Interesting, I never thought much of this until you mentioned it. The verses about Isabel being dead are indeed traditional, recited by one Bruce Sutherland in North Yell, Shetland in 1865.

A couple of them also have a sort of intermediate ending where the ship hits an iceberg and sinks. That's interesting too. Many of the longer ones don't have transcriptions yet, I'm sorry to say. I'll get around to finishing all of them eventually. Actually that'd be a nice project for the easter holidays.

Thank you for also posting this version. Although MacColl and Seeger's version will likely be more usable by me for the group singing that I tend to do , this one is wonderful in the way that she sings it in such an introspective, drawn out manner. It seems so true to the mournful feeling of the subject. I'll probably blend the two in a way that doesn't quite spread things out as much as she does, since I'm surrounded by a group of people with 21st century short attention spans. Still, hearing the beauty of this version gives me courage to give it plenty of time. Unfortunately, being a New Englander in CT/USA, I'll also probably lose all credibility if I put on such a thick accent, although a good many of those words sound so amazing with their twists and turns.

I don't think that's true, but I like it. The Well Below the Valley / Maid and the Palmer was seldom recorded because of its heavy subject matter. All recordings of it in modern times came from singers in Ireland and all but one of them were Irish Travellers.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm so happy when I get to read comments from people who enjoy folk songs and find them interesting. If I can make people discover nice recordings of folks songs that they may not have heard before my channel is fulfilling its purpose. My hobby is collecting ballads and folk song recordings and comparing all the variations of the words and tunes. It's fascinating. You could hear the same ballad from ten people and each time it will be a little different. There is never that one correct way to sing it. The variety makes folk songs so exciting.

This is one of the most heart wrenching tales I have ever stumbled upon in my life.; I actually heard it on our PBS radio station "The Thistle & Shamrock" many years ago and emailed the station for it's origin which they kindly provided. Later, I heard Ewan McGregor & Susan Lynch sing it in the film "Nora". There are so many different versions with little twists and changes and lyrics. but I always believe that these sorts of Ballads are rooted in some common grain of truth that has. evolved and changed through the centuries. What a pity that this isn't taught more commonly in school curriculums throughout the world which would ensure it is not lost to the ages! I think there are many young people who would stop and think a moment, Improving their character on many topics thereby developing compassion, empathy, and a better understanding of their fellow man.. Indeed, who could help but be deeply touched by the verses of this beautiful poetry so sad and forlorn. I never tire of it And from time to time, seek out yet a new version. And It is always beautiful.! Thank you for posting.

I'm sharing the recordings for anyone interested in hearing ballads. Most of my recordings are field recordings from library archives. I tried to find as many versions of each song as I could. Hearing songs by ordinary people who learned them from friends and family is quite special in its own way. It can help us get a better understanding of how ballads were performed in the pre-radio and commercial music days and sometimes we get to put all these small puzzle pieces together to get a better understanding of a fragmented ballad story.
