Rosalie Sorrels recorded it first on her Traveling Lady Rides Again album, circa 1978, and Utah Phillips learned it from her. Mike Regenstreif |

06 May 10 - 06:45 PM (#2901615) Subject: RE: Req: a Utah Phillips lyric - Feather Ben (Bowen) From: Joe Offer Utah Phillips recorded "Feather Ben" on a Philo LP titled All Used Up: A Scrapbook (1979). As far as I can tell, that album has not been issued on CD. The Rosalie Sorrels album Travelling Lady Rides Again has been reissued on CD and is available for purchase as various locations, but it has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Can anybody post the lyrics to "Feather Ben"? -Joe- |

07 Nov 12 - 03:47 PM (#3432626) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Feather Ben (Peter Bowen) From: GUEST Well, I am unsure whether true to life is the exact criterion I'd apply when picking a song to learn. I suppose it's as good as any, but I am still considering whether or not "not true to life" is a reasonable criterion for not learning a song. Actually, all I wanted was the chords - - mainly because I'm too lazy to work 'em out myself. If nobody's got them, I guess I'll figure them out and post them. (Guest 999, it's on Return of the Travelin' Lady by Rosalie Sorrels, and All Used Up by Utah Phillips.) While its veracity may be in question, I still find it's worth singing. I guess what's good enough for Sorrels and Phillips is pretty much good enough for the likes of me. Pete |
