nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just listened to your version of the blackest crow. amazing!!!(love that song!) finally some new,good talent!!! ya coming up to ontario canada to tour? i'd really like to hear you live!!!! my newest favorite band!!!
Hi Laurel and Michael, My name is Kurtis. I just saw you guys perform at the public library in Lisle, IL only a couple of hours ago. 5/13/12. It was truly a wonderul musical experience. I am honored to have met you, and I will be sure to catch your next concert when you come back to Chicago area. All the best!
Through youtube via Abigail Washburn (or visa versa), I discovered Red Tail Ring... In the hour since discovery, I have ordered everything you have to offer on cd... Red Tail Ring's music & values are much needed in this fragmented world...
you guys blend together beautifully, vocals and strings intertwine mellifluously. those simultaneous hammer-ons, and powerful strums on the downbeat. this shit is raw yo
That was a joy to behold! I'm writing a chapter of a PhD thesis on early recordings of this ballad. Excellent harmonies and dual musicianship. Pleased I stumbled upon you. :-)
it is the great American murder ballad.... as if Melville and Faulkner and Bas com Lamar Lunsford had combined to produce the definitive angst that only modal mountain music can generate.
Do you want the tradition to die? Would you rather millennials all sat around with Microkorgs making bleep bloops? Yes, Dock Boggs, Roscoe Holcom and Tommy Jarrell are great, but if that's all we allow the tradition to be then what was conceived and practiced as a social music moulders away on old 78s that'll be thrown away when their owners die.
They have it nailed from start to finish. Just fabulous. I can't understand why Red Tail Ring aren't better known.
They've done a lot of great stuff but this is special. They seem to have a way with bluesy stuff, probably didn't do enough of it.
This could be considered the definitive recording of this song. A musical holotype if you will.
What a modern version with pleinty of surprises and groove...
the best version of pretty polly out there.
Talented women playing banjo or bass are a pleasant surprise and a welcomed gift to old-time music! Well done!
It don't get any better than that. Cheers from Texas.
ive heard for about 50 years ,polly, and your version is one i listen to nice job jim

A fine, fine rendition. And grand banjoing!
Love the old murder ballads. I wonder why the man's name is almost always Willy ???
