This song was inspired by a story told to me by Ernie Carpenter, a fifth-generation West Virginia fiddler whose home was flooded by a dam. The tune is Ernie's and I wrote the lyrics. Special thanks to William Coulter (guitar), John Reischman (mandolin). Niamh Varian-Barry (viola) and Mark Simos (fiddle).

In Ireland for five weeks, we were fortunate enough to play in John Benny's and Tommy O'Sullivan's Courthouse pubs. What the video doesn't show is at the end of my sensitive folk song California Morning, a so-called hen party crashed in fully drunk. Fun stuff.

Elk River Blues
Переглядів 7943 роки тому
Back in the late 1980's fifth generation West Virginia fiddler, Ernie Carpenter told me a tale over dinner about his hometown being flooded and a tune he wrote to commemorate the occasion. I wrote these lyrics to tell that story of the damming of Elk River. This was performed at Camp Lotus songwriter's gathering and features John Croizat on fiddle and Steve Coulter on mandolin.

What would we do if we could? A song about meeting the love of your life later in life.
Beautifully done and it moved me.
Perfect. When did you write the lyrics to Ernie's beautiful tune?
Beautiful
We really enjoyed this 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
linda Demais !!! Parabéns !!!Thanks Brasil !!! Obrigado
Really nice! I'm going to have to add this to my repertoire.
Beatuful! Going to listen to the newer version right now!
I worked in Sutton, WV along the Elk River and not too far from Sutton Dam. I was a young man then not thinking of the past history. I sure wish I would have taken the time to have known Ernie Carpenter better before I left Sutton.
Thanks for the story. I'm sure the Elk River was a beautiful thing to behold.
Brings back good memories thank you
I really enjoy this, well done. Ernie passed this day in 1997. I am sure he would have enjoyed this. Way to keep it going.
I absolutely LOVE this song - the tune, the lyrics, and the story. Great job Ernie and Rachel.
why don't you sing us a little ditty about your veg brain Brandon??
Another great one. Makes me appreciate our 52 years together.
Again I find myself listening to your beautiful voice lost my wife of 40 years five years ago miss her greatly and the hills Where I was born thanks for giving me some peace
luks like my country
Well done 👍
Thank you 👍
I love this! Thank you!
Still listening can’t get enough Well done simply beautiful
beautiful ballad and story
Thank you!
Great. I am very impressed. Many thanks and greetings from the island of Rügen.
Many thanks!
Lovely song!
enjoying learning this on banjo and singing it. here in wales the welsh nationalist movement has the slogan 'cofwch Treweryn!' which means remember Treweryn which was a north wales village flooded to supply water to England in which all 50 welsh MPs in government voted against it but was over ruled as Wales was treated just as a region of UK. Unfortunately the welsh Chapel movement ie religion saw fiddles as the devils music so for a long time the welsh were singing in choirs rather than playing traditional music so the welsh folk scene has taken a bit longer than the irish folk scene to develop. Dafyd Iwan wrote yma o hyd (were still here) which is a great welsh nationalist song recently though. There probably is a cofwch treweryn song in welsh i must have a search.
I have loved this tune and have never heard the words before.
Rachel, would you consider doing a cover of " leaning on the everlasting arms" by Iris Dement ?
When the time comes to take my last few breaths - I'm gonna hum this to myself ❤
Music doesn't get any better than this. So evocative. The back story is so interesting . Rachel's voice is beautiful and so natural and the guitar playing is gorgeous. Hope u don't mind me playing it a couple thousand times ❤
Thanks for listening. I have a newly remixed version of the song with images of the fiddler/tune's author Ernie Carpenter. ua-cam.com/video/QUFHb5XbFwY/v-deo.html
I listened and watched your new version, it's beautiful. Stunning scenery with a hint of sadness
The lyrics pay beautiful homage to the gentleman who wrote it
I made a new video with the remixed song and more photos. ua-cam.com/video/QUFHb5XbFwY/v-deo.html
Unforgettable.. Thank you
Very nice. Should have more views.
Thank you for the memory lost my wife of 40 years December 22, 2018 well done beautiful song
Beautiful
Fabulous Rachel! After 50 years together we loved this.Thank you.
You are so welcome! 50 years is a real accomplishment. Mazel tov!
This is lovely. You have a beautiful voice!
Thank you so much! I just posted a new version with some wonderful musicians joining me.
Why is this not exploding? Well done, Rachel
Glad you like it. It would go well with a Hank Williams type singer.
Beautiful song, beautifully done. I wondered where Sierra Ferrell found it.
Yes, funny story about that. T-Bone Burnett was going to have her sing it in a Sony Pictures film called Downtown Owl, and I was all excited to have a film credit, but they decided to use Elvis Costello's music instead.
I’m sorry I didn’t see your reply until today, but I was playing the song on my guitar and my wife asked me what the song was. I played her your version since I think it captures the mood perfectly. I live not far from the Elk River. I’m surprised this version doesn’t have more views. Thanks for responding!
Well done beautiful voice
Thanks Mark.
🥂

Rachel you beautifully musicated with images the California we love.

I'm satisfied with you **chef's kiss**

Beautiful! Makes me miss all the places so dear to me. Aloha Your brother
You'll just have to come visit.

Check out my newly mixed version of the song on my channel.
Sweet...an excellent version.
We just issued a remix with John Reischman on mandolin, Bill Coulter on guitar, and Niamh Varian-Barry on Viola. Hope you like it.
Good job!
Beautifully paced and retrained. Lovely.
This is a fiddle tune written by Ernie Carpenter, inspired, if that is really the word, by watching the loss of his family land when the Elk River was dammed. I was just a kid then, and didn't understand that people upstream of the dam were losing their homesteads, often held for several generations, as was the case with Ernie. Several different people, including you, have written lyrics for this tune It bothers me that in your description, you did not credit Ernie for the tune. And yes, I am aware the tune is well known in certain circles. Still no excuse for not giving Ernie credit.
Credited in the description!
I cannot express how exhilarating and mesmerizing this melody is! The lyrics are so poetic and charming, and yet, so melancholic and moving. Your work really elevated this outstanding tune! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent, Ms Goodman!
