Earl Scruggs and Friends, Foggy Mountain Breakdown<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ella Fitzgerald, Misty<\/a>. Beats the Johnny Mathis version. A standard from the Great American Songbook<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze<\/a>. Not<\/em> from the Great American Songbook. And presumably not about weather conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cream, Sunshine of Your Love<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Waits, Emotional Weather Report<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Art Garfunkel and James Taylor, Crying in the Rain<\/a>. Written by Carole King and popularized by the Everly Bros.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain<\/a>. Written by Fred Rose and performed by Roy Acuff in the '40s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now my hair is turned to silver<\/span>
All my life I've loved in vain<\/span>
I can see her star in heaven<\/span>
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someday when we meet up yonder<\/span>
We'll stroll hand in hand again<\/span>
In a land that knows no parting<\/span>
Blue eyes crying in the rain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allman Bros., Blue Sky<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Kansas, Dust in the Wind<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Eric Clapton, Let It Rain<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dave van Ronk and the Hudson Dusters, Clouds<\/a> (Both Sides Now).  This beautiful version by "The Mayor of MacDougal street" goes out to luthier Dave Bagwill who I know will appreciate it. Judy Collins made a hit<\/a> of it. And you still doubt that the '60s was the greatest decade for American popular music?  Speaking of the greatest decade, it was when the greatest writer of American popular songs, bar none, Bob Dylan, made his mark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joan Baez, A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Eva Cassidy, Over the Rainbow<\/a>. Another old standard from the Great American Songbook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Waits, On a Foggy Night<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Rolling Stones, She's A Rainbow<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Fogelberg, Rhythm of the Rain<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE (4\/30)<\/span><\/p>\n

Kai Frederik Lorentzen points us to Weather in My Head<\/a> by Donald Fagen of Steely Dan<\/em>.  Good tune!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dave Bagwill<\/a> sends us to a clip<\/a> in which van Ronk talks a bit about the days of the "Great American Folk Scare" and then sings his signature number, "Green, Green, Rocky Road."<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
