Thread Name: Old Songs Newly Found
Subject: RE: Old Songs Newly Found
A young lady (young compared to me, anyway, she was probably in her 50's) showed up at our last loosey goosey jam and when her turn to sing came around she introduced "a Suzy Boguss song" and did a wonderful job on Someday Soon, all on a heirloom pre-war Gibson guitar that had a huge sound. Well, when the proceedings were winding down I broke out Judy Collins Who Knows Where the Time Goes LP and played J.C.'s version for the whippersnapper and, of course, she went crazy for it. S. Bogguss did a lovely version but the J.C. one may be my all time favorite recording. You've got a great song being sung by a great singer with a great backup band including James Burton on guitar, Buddy Emmons on pedal steel and Van Dyke Parks on piano, all supporting each other and the singer so beautifully. Someday Soon
Another Ian Tyson-penned gem is performed here by Tony Rice (yep, I'm a T.R. freak) outside of his usual string band setting - Summer Wages
