Thread Name: FRANK PROFFITT CD on Folk-Legacy
Subject: RE: FRANK PROFFITT CD on Folk-Legacy
I heard the album quite some time ago, and I'll vouch for the quality of the recording. Frank Proffitt sings some songs that may be familiar to many of you, but his renditions are very different from what you'd expect. Here are the cuts: - Trifling Woman
- Cluck Old Hen
- Morning Fair
- Bonnie James Campbell (Child 210)
- Lord Randall (Child 12)
- Handsome Molly
- Reuben Train
- Tom Dooley (Dula)
- I'm Going Back to North Carolina
- Moonshine
- Rye Whiskey
- I'll Never Get Drunk No More
- Wild Bill Jones
- Gyps of David (Child 200) very interesting)
- Song of a Lost Hunter or Love Henry (Child 68)
- Sourwood Mountain
- Going Across the Mountain
As usual, Sandy Paton's notes are colorful, literate, and well-researched. The notes are as interesting as the recordings are. This is one heck of a good CD.
