29 Jul 06 - 03:37 PM (#1796358) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: Roberto I like very much two recordings of this song: Alex Campbell's, in Way Out West, and Snooks Eaglin's, in New Orleans Street Singer(Folkways). R |

29 Jul 06 - 04:39 PM (#1796401) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: Big Al Whittle I seem to remeber Dave Berry doing a decent version in the days when he had Jimmy Page on the staff. I'm pretty sure the Animals had a crack at it. Might have even made the American charts. My favourite version was by the late great Gerry Lockran. Sometimes I feel like I know more dead people than live ones. |

29 Jul 06 - 06:42 PM (#1796498) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: katlaughing I had the pleasure of hearing, live, our very own Mudcatter, Mimosa, sing this in our home in Wyoming, while two others, AllanC and BillSables, were also visiting. I LOVE his version and his singing of it. He did it with a harp and it was glorious. There should be pictures in the Event part of the Mudcat pictures, from way back, I think it was 1998 or '99. |

29 Jul 06 - 11:21 PM (#1796595) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: 282RA If you want to see a really cool mind-blower, see the old 30s Fleischer Studios cartoon that uses Calloway's version as a soundtrack. You would have thought the artists were on acid but acid hadn't been invented yet. These were the same guys that did Betty Boop and if you're familiar with Betty Boop cartoons then you can guess how strange their St. James Infirmary is. In fact, it may have been part of a Betty Boop--I forget. |

30 Jul 06 - 12:00 AM (#1796608) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: Bugsy Roberto! That version by Alex Campbell on "Way Out West" was the first time I ever heard the song. (I still think it's about the best version I've heard to date.) It was the very first LP record I ever bought ( @ WH SMITH) and what got me interested in folk music. I used to think that if only I could play that song on the guitar, I'd be a happy man. How naive is that! It also has a wonderful version of "Orange Blossom Special" Cheers Bugsy |

30 Jul 06 - 12:06 AM (#1796612) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: Janice in NJ Eric Burdon and the Animals did do Saint James Infirmary Blues around 1967-1968, about four or five years before Joe Cocker's recording. Lou Rawls recorded the song in the early 1960s and that might have inspired Burdon to do the same. |

30 Jul 06 - 11:40 AM (#1796936) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: greg stephens Bugsy: re the Alex Campbell recording of "Orange Blossom Special on "Way out west". To give credit where it's due, the technically astonishing finger-picking on that track was done by the American ragtime guitarist Dave Laibmann, who was living in England at the time. |

30 Jul 06 - 12:14 PM (#1796965) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: GEST The Bad Girl's Lament is closely related to early texts collected in the Canadian Maritimes and Maine, and was recorded by Wade Hemsworth accompanying himself on guitar. |

21 Apr 08 - 08:44 AM (#2321418) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: Big Al Whittle So much of what we did in the 60's seems to stem back to what Josh White did in the 1940's. SJI was one of the first tunes that I and my friends cut our teeth on as guitar pickers. That Am to E change is just so easy and constitutes half the song. I presume Donovan was just a few months ahead of us. he wrote a song called Cutting Out on his first album , which seemed greatly familiar to us. |

21 Apr 08 - 09:56 PM (#2322174) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: Janice in NJ Cisco Houston recorded it for Folkways in the 1950s, after he set out on his own. Cisco had such a beautifuuly rich voice; it's a shame he played second banana all those years as Woody Guthrie's sidekick. It wasn't until Woody was hospitalized that Cisco came into his own, and it's even more of a shame that he died of cancer just a few years later. |

22 Apr 08 - 07:16 AM (#2322412) Subject: RE: St. James infirmary From: GUEST,George Henderson According to Bert Lloyd the song was first collected in Dublin, Ireland back in the 1780's. There are hundreds of versions in all English speaking areas. Luke Cheevers the renowned Dublin singer still has this song in his repertoire and sings it unaccompanied. |
