Though nominally written by A. P. Carter and his friend Leslie Riddle, it is essentially a collection of floating blues verses. Riddle, who was Black, not only collected songs with Carter but supplied him with blues material A.P. may not have heard otherwise.

17 Mar 23 - 08:04 AM (#4167798) Subject: RE: Any March Songs? From: GUEST,Roderick A Warner IVRY by Patti Smith I came across this performance via one of mySubstack accounts: Patti Smith singing her song ‘Ivry’ commemorating the death of French writer Antonin Artaud on March 4th 1948. Hopefully fits within the parameters for inclusion. Patti was in Paris a couple of weeks ago with an installation dedicated to Artaud and this clip is from a live performance at the Centre Pompidou. The Substack one is slightly better but I don’t want to bootleg it. This clip gives the flavour of the song: Ivry Ivry was the asylum where Artaud spent his last years. While I was listening to it I remembered the story about Artaud’s visit to Ireland which would make a droll film or song. Involving St Patrick’s walking stick or some nonsense, from memory. St Patrick’s day, Artaud’s death and the merry month of March. A nice hit… |
