25 Jun 07 - 07:11 PM (#2086921) Subject: RE: Maria's Gone - recordings From: Severn Jean Ritchie recorded it on "Clear Waters Remembered", issued at times on XTRA, Geordie (LPs) and Greenhays (currently, I think) Try Jean's website or maybe even PM her on the Cat (kytrad, I believe) for more info. I have it on an LP. |

26 Jun 07 - 02:39 PM (#2087580) Subject: RE: Maria's Gone - recordings From: GUEST,mollycat I suggest you have a listen to The Duncan McFarlane Band's gutsy version on their Woodshed Boys album. It's fantastic and makes all the hair on the back of my neck stand up! |

26 Jun 07 - 08:11 PM (#2087856) Subject: RE: Maria's Gone - recordings From: CET I ran across a clip of that when I was googling the song. The Duncan MacFarlane Band are a hell of a group, but I have to say that a sad and reflective interpretation works better for me (at least for now). |

27 Jun 07 - 01:35 AM (#2087961) Subject: RE: Morning Come, Maria's Gone - recordings From: Q (Frank Staplin) Score and lyrics are included in Jean Richie, "Celebration of Life: Her Songs ...Her Poems," p. 33; Jean Ritchie listed as composer, copyright 1969, 1971, Geordie Music Publishing, Inc. Oldhippie gave the lyrics above. The chorus "Mornin' come and Maria's gone" is used preceding each verse, and ending the song. Ritchie's notes with score- In C, moderately. "The "drone sound" is important in this song. The melody is modal." |

I appreciate the sad reflective versions myself! My leccie band had to do their own thing with it - so it's grand someone gives it its dues even when the louder uptempo thing isn't their particular 'bag'. Cheers! As a matter of fact (and interest?) - I learned the song from Marg Walters version when I had the privilege of being her guitar player on her UK tour a few years back. She learned it from a Peter Bellamy version if I remember right. So it went from Keighley (Peter) near me, all the way to Oz, for me to learn it in Yorkshire off her. Grand! ...and she hated our rendition actually - bless her! Mostly cause we broke it up with Sir John Cope for an instrumental break! Why? She said! if you need a copy of her album (Power/Song) that has it on PM me - I have copies of it she left with me to sell for her. Hers is indeed a soulful versh - love it! All the best - Duncan PS - thanks Molly and BBPaul - good fans y' are - bless! |

05 May 19 - 01:50 AM (#3990791) Subject: RE: Morning Come, Maria's Gone - recordings From: GUEST,Gerry Also recorded by Melrose Quartet on their album, Dominion. "Appalachian, from the singing of Jean Ritchie via Peter Bellamy" it says, in the liner notes, but I'm sure James & Nancy would also be familiar with the Margaret Walters recording. |

12 Feb 23 - 08:25 AM (#4164936) Subject: RE: Morning Come, Maria's Gone - recordings From: Speedwell I've started singing this song out recently based on Peter Bellamy's recording. There seems to be remarkably little about it on the web. I just wondered if anyone knew about its origins. From what I can see it emerged from the Ritchie family but that's all. |
