Description

DICK FARINA & ERIC VON SCHMIDT. Released on Folklore Records:London,U.K.

LP and cover in very good/clean condition.

This extremely rare album of American Ballads by Dick Farina and Eric Von Schmidt is as famous for the contributions by "Blind Boy Grunt" as anything else.

This is a very rare album, a great album of music, and a great collectors album for Bob Dylan alficianados. It is even more interesting if you have ever read anything about the relationship between Bob Dylan and Dick Farina, Joan Baez' brother-in-law during the time Dylan lived in Woodstock. Dick Farina died in a motorcycle accident very near where Dylan had his very famous motorcycle accident, and was one of the people in Dylan's early days of great fame that commanded respect from Bob.

This was an impromptu recording made in London on January 14 and 15, 1963. Joining Fariña and von Schmidt were Ethan Signer (of the Charles River Valley Boys) on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, and occasionally Blind Boy Grunt. Blind Boy Grunt was of course the pseudonym of Bob Dylan, whose Columbia contract prevented his real name from appearing on the album. Tracks are: Side One: JOHNNY CUCKOO (4:27) adaption of a children's game song learned from Bessie Jones, a negro woman from St. Simon's Island, Georgia. JUMPING JUDY (3:55) an ax song, sometimes called "Drive it On," from the unaccompanied singing of convicts, Cummins State Farm, Arkansas, 1934. Played in an open G-tuning. GLORY, GLORY (2:34) traditional negro hymn, the tune relating closely to the Southern white hymn, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" OLD JOE'S DULCIMER (2:55) a medley of dance tunes including "Old Joe Clark," "Swing and Turn," "Darlin' Corey," etc. WOBBLE BIRD (2:44) a variation on "The Cuckoo," in 3/4 time. WILDWOOD FLOWER (1:56) instrumental on the well known Carter song. OVERSEAS STOMP (2:43) in the spirit of the 1927 Memphis Jug Band. Side Two: LONZO N'HOWARD (3:30) learned from Tom Shoemaker of Harlan, Kentucky, who heard it there from a mountain fiddler called Blind Jim. This is probably its first recording. YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL (3:00) a tune based on Furry Lewis' "Dry Land Blues," with additional verses. XMAS ISLAND (3:18) a twelve-bar written by Fariña. STICK WITH ME BABY (3:32) played in an open G-tuning, adapted from the 1928 Lewis, "I Will Turn Your Money Green." RIDDLE SONG (1:10) traditional, with new answers to fit the old questions. COCAINE (4:03) learned from Rev. Gary Davis at Indian Neck, 1960. LONDON WALTZ (3:10) a blues in 3/4 time, music by Fariña, words spontaneous. Folklore F-LEUT/7
