Old-Time American Songs on Youtube. Vintage photos tell the stories behind trad tunes.

Here are three old-time music videos I just put up on youtube featuring Ken Burns style slide shows of 19th and early 20th century photos along with tracks from my CDs.

From "Paul & Jody" - American Songs and Tunes. http://jodykruskal.com/buy_stuff.html

Bravest Cowboy - cow punchers, desperados and pioneer women
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npgPo-3jxKk

Wreck of the Six Wheeler - old trains, wrecks and hobos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stznHfzjYL0


From the CD "Poor Little Liza Jane" https://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jodykruskal2

Give the Fiddler a Dram - this classic tune reconfigured as the tale of a small town girl off to seek her fortune and finding the high life, low life and mixing it up with farmers, fiddlers, dance, drink and death.

Jody-

Interesting project. I've done similar things with steamboats on my Facebook page but as more of a photo essay.
