Thread Name: Origins: Danger Waters - story behind the song?
Subject: RE: Help: Danger Waters - story behind the song?
The album is apparently called "The Joan Baez Lovesong Album" and the song (called "Danger Waters (Hold Me Tight)" is credited to Arthur S Alberts, who collected music in West Africa. On the Wikipedia article on the album, the song is credited to J. Browne. Anyone have an idea who that might be? An ethnomusicologist? A Ghanaian highlife artist's manager on a "world music" record label? Does anyone have the "Lovesong Album" and can check the writer's credit?
