Takes a rockin' chair to rock,

Compare Charley Lincoln's "Jealous Hearted Blues," on Columbia 14305-D, recorded in 1927, several years before the Carters did this for Decca. |

15 Jan 08 - 04:07 AM (#2236749) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jealous Hearted Me (Carter Family) From: 12-stringer Compare, also, Blind Willie (McTell)'s "Weary Hearted Blues," recorded for Victor in 1929 but never issued, and recorded again for ARC in 1933, on Vocalion 02668. Excellent retooling of the Lincoln song. "I used to jump [my songs] from other writers, but I'd 'range 'em up my way," as McTell told an interviewer in 1956. |

This song really defines the Carter style. Homespuntapes produced a lovely Mike Seeger video lesson about Carter family music. The slightly saucy lyrics here are pretty daring for this wonderful group, too. thanks for the postings! Delmar Lemming |

11 Dec 12 - 01:05 PM (#3450549) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jealous Hearted Me (Carter Family) From: Mark Clark Jealous Hearted Me (originally Jealous Hearted Blues) was recorded by Gertrude “Ma” Rainey in 1924 as the B side of Paramount 12252. Richie made reference to Ma Rainey's recording back in 2008. If the Carter Family learned this tune from Leslie Riddle then Riddle probably learned it from the Ma Rainey recording. The Ma Rainey recording may be heard on YouTube. It's interesting how the Carter Family took Ma Rainey's lowdown, draggy blues number and turned it into a spritely squared-off white number. I've always loved both versions of the tune. - Mark |
