Dan Gutstein - 'Poor Gal: The Cultural History of Little Liza Jane'
My guest this week is author Dan Gutstein, who joins me to chat about his book 'Poor Gal: The Cultural History of Little Liza Jane'.
The book traces the history of one of America's most recorded folk songs, from its origins amongst enslaved people on southern plantations, through the Civl War and minstrelsy, to the folk revival and beyond. On its journey Little Liza Jane, and its variants, was performed and recorded by a huge range of artists, including Del McCoury, Nina Simone, Merle Travis, Doc Watson, Pete Seeger, Harry Belafonte, Alison Krauss...and David Bowie.
It's a fascinating subject, which could have filled several episodes!
You'll find more info on Dan and the book (including links to buy a copy) at www.dangutstein.com/#/littlelizajane (www.dangutstein.com/#/littlelizajane/)
There's a great playlist of Liza Jane recordings on Spotify (open.spotify.com/playlist/5T5dZEZIz7I9zK5ZWlYZ5g?si=OfeP2LEzS9uzeCoXeOmVHA) if you want to check out some of the versions we discuss in the episode.
You'll also find info on the ongoing film project Dan talks about at www.lizajanemovie.com (www.lizajanemovie.com/)
Happy picking!
Matt

    the thing about Tony is to not be sad that he's gone. Be happy that he was here. I went to the Tony Rice Musicfest in Camp Springs NC. and Josh Williams performed the Church Street Blues Album in it's entirety. and knocked it out of the park. I disagree with the guitar being hard to play. Snuffy Smith reset the neck.. and Josh's Williams played the antique frequently. and Tony told him that you can't force this guitar you have to make love to it. and Josh'and Bryan Sutton said if you played the guitar hard that you got nothing out of it.

    I watch The Acoustic Shoppe channel regularly. When an Atkin arrived they always made big deal of it and would inevitably say it was a cannon. Once I got my hands on a D-37, I immediately took it to the counter. I’ve played bluegrass for about 35 years on the same Martin. I’ve played tons of vintage martins and boutique guitars. That Atkin D-37 is the best guitar I’ve ever played. I can’t believe I own the best guitar I’ve ever played. Want to know what my 2nd favorite guitar is? It’s the White Rice I bought a couple months later. It’s the coolest guitar ever. My friends would buy it off me immediately. I own my two favorite guitars. I’m a dreadnought guy but I happened to play an EOM and it was so incredible I bought it. It’s sounds like a dreadnought! You think I’d be done with this story. You’d be wrong. I saw a candy apple green LG 47 online and it was the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen. I ordered one of those. It’s just now done being built and should be on its way to MO soon. I’m so excited. I went from thinking I’d never find another guitar I like better than my Martin to buying 4 Atkin and I’ll never play my Martins again. If you are in the market for a guitar, wait until you can play an Atkin. I can’t say enough about Alister and his guitars.
