Subject: Song from Llewin Davis - discussion?
The film Inside Llewin Davis starts with a song called Hang Me. I found myself singing it today, and I realised it was very close to a song Going Up Blue Ridge Mountain that English folksinger Derek Brimstone used to sing round our folk clubs.
Derek did it with banjo accompaniment, and I seem to remember him saying he got it off a recording by Frank Proffit (he of fretless banjo fame).
I expect stateside you have a lot of things to say about your song -I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
