Freddy Fender, Cielito Lindo<\/a>.  Tex-Mex version of a very old song.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arizona's own Marty Robbins, La Paloma<\/a>.  Another old song dating back to 1861. <\/span><\/p>\n

Barbara Lewis, Hello Stranger<\/a>, 1963. 1963 was arguably the best of the '60s years for pop compositions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Emmylou Harris, Hello Stranger<\/a>. Same title, different song.  This one goes out to Mary Kay F-D. Remember the Fall of 1980, Mary Kay? <\/span><\/p>\n

Get up, rounder\/Let a working girl lie down\/ You are rounder\/And you are all out and down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carter Family version<\/a> from 1939.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joan Baez, Daddy, You've Been on My Mind<\/a>. The voice of an angel, the words of a poet, and Bruce  Langhorne's guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joan Baez, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue<\/a>. The voice of an angel, the words of a poet, and Langhorne's guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joan Baez, A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall<\/a>. The voice of an angel, the words of a poet, and Langhorne's guitar. The incredible mood of this version, especially the intro, is made by Langhorne and the bass of Russ Savakus, another well-known session player from those days. I've been listening to this song since '65 and it gives me chills every time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Carolyn Hester, I'll Fly Away<\/a>.  Dylan on harp, a little rough and ragged. Langhorne on guitar? Not sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joan Baez and her sister, Mimi Farina, Catch the Wind<\/a>. Fabulous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joan Baez, Boots of Spanish Leather<\/a>.  Nanci Griffith also does a good job<\/a> with this Dylan classic. <\/span><\/p>\n

Betty Everett, You're No Good<\/a>, 1963.  More soulful than the 1975 Linda Ronstadt version.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ikettes, I'm Blue<\/a>, 1962. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Dorsey, Ya Ya<\/a>, 1961.  Simplicity itself. Three chords. I-IV-V progression. No bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
