Good stuff....
Love early Dion and the Belmonts stuff, Wanderer, Runaway Sue, Teenager In Love, etc., BUT his middle period was good too (once he got sober) Abraham Martin and John, now his recent stuff, blues and blues-rock, duets (with legends like Joe Bonomaso, Bruce and others) are very good too.
Great bluesy soulful version of Honky Tonk Women from the Playing For Change series. Features Mermans Mosengo from the Knocking On Heavens Door cover earlier in the thread. Teamed with Ken Mo, outstanding blues artist from LA and the Cali band The Feetwarmers with Kevin Moore Jr. on drums
Love Keb Mo and this is a great take. But of course there is always the Stones take and this is one of their best ones.
Very good. Here is something in that same vein from a great group who I think only made one album - Cry Cry Cry - Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplanshy & Dar Williams. Wish they'd made at least one more.

Thanks, this is really pretty cool.
Honky Tonk Women was covered by a lot of folks including Rick Nelson, he sang it at an Richard Nader oldies show at The Garden leading to a chorus of boos, along with being booed for doing some of his new songs. It led to his minor hit song Garden Party summarizing that night for poor old Rick, may he rest in peace.
Rick well past his teen idol days wrote some great songs and was a helluva county/folk/rock performer, and had a great band behind him, Stone Canyon Band and a founding member of the Eagles was in it, Mr. Randy Meisner.
Rick's Live at the Troubadour album is a big favorite of mine. Compelling mix of songs, including remakes of a few oldies.
Here he is singing Eric Anderson's Violets of Dawn:
Here is Eric's great song Faithful
Lastly, another by Rick from Live at the Troubadour, Easy To Be Free, a Rick original

BrookJersey Redmen,
Never heard Nelson’s version of one of two songs that has always for 5+ decades always made any length list of “my favorite” songs. Wore out “Violets of Dawn” on Anderson’s “ ‘Bout Changes and Things” album.
Thank you very much for the Nelson rendition.
Going to add a ridiculously difficult trivia question that came to me when writing this. On that Anderson album is “Champion of Keeping Them Rolling” written by Ewan MacColl.
He wrote a folk song in 1957 to Peggy Seeger, Pete Seeger’s half-sister, which he never recorded or sang in public (although she did). It was covered several times and in the early 70’s won Grammies for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, three years AFTER it was recorded by the winning artist. For any who may want to play, stop reading because I am going to give the answer in a following post.

Since you were kind enough to post videos of Rhiannon Gittens ( I think I spelt her name correctly ) I just want to let you all know that she is playing in the Montreal Jazz Festival at the end of June. If I will be in town then I will attend.
You did not.
double “d” not “t”! Thanks, more than a possibility for me, I will check it out.
Different trvia question, Steve Goodman sang The Dutchman.
Who wrote that song?
Arlo Guthrie had a hit with City of New Orleans.
Who wrote it?
Hint, answer to this one is in this post.

Actually, a good one but not it. The hit song is unrecognizable as a folk song.
Hint - very much a love song
Love Montreal, as you know Aubie, and love Rhiannon Giddens. If you get to see her, you will enjoy. Coincidentally she has put together what is intended to be an annual weekend festival in Durham, NC called Biscuits & Banjos celebrating the music she loves and played with the Carolina Chocolate Drops which takes place for the first time this weekend. I'm not able to attend but will be livestreaming her Saturday night segment with the Chocolate Drops.
Here is the website which includes a short video of Rhiannon introducing the festival.
Biscuits & Banjos Festival
A music festival curated by GRAMMY & Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Rhiannon Giddens, and dedicated to the reclamation and exploration of Black music, art, and culture in Durham, NC.
