His amazing mastery of being able to choose instruments from other cultures, and then makes them sing in whatever genre he chooses simply blows me away..........................
There are soooo many "no look-just play" Masters who came out of the music / rock scene of the 60's. Yet David has always been such a special craftsman with any instrument he touched as a contributing musician to bands / artists and recordings over the past 50 years. Much like Jorma, et..al...David OWNS his distinct section of the American Music Historical playbook. Rock On DL !!
I just saw David Lindley perform this song live. Such a treat! I'm familiar with this song from Jerry Garcia doing it acoustic with David Grisman on The Pizza Tapes. It was a treat to see it performed on the oud by none other than David Lindley, who I first saw live with El Rayo X 30 years ago -- what a party that was!
I sure hope I get the chance to see Mr. Lindley again. I understand tinnitus caused him to have to cancel shows this last tour. I wish him all the best. Godspeed!
"Mashing sings *now*"? Lindley was crossing musical boundaries and blending genres almost 60 years ago ---- but in truth, this has always been what folk music does, or what is done to ---- and with ---- it. Every migration or emigration becomes a cultural mixing bowl. For instance, the Bouzouki, a tradiotional Greek/Turkish instrument, has become a traditional Irish Instrument!
When I saw Lindley he yelled at me for taking his photo. He claimed pix made his eyes look like daffy duck. The crowd then began to boo me so I took one more. Hey - I like cartoons!
Years ago when I saw British guitarist Martin Carthy play with fiddle player Dave Swarbrick, Carthy said there was never any shortage of material to write folk songs about because "somebody was always getting murdered up the road somewhere". Indeed, "Pretty Polly", another English folk song which Lindley sometimes played, is based on a famous murder from the 1600's known as "the Gosport incident".
Everybody is mashing songs now. This mashed with Johnny Cash’s “Cocaine Blues” would sound great. Instrument is interesting. Well done…….Oooops would of sounded great.
RIP David Lindley. I was lucky enough to have been there for this.

Astonishing. Nuff said.

Never thought I'd hear a Clarence Ashley tune on an oud. This is fantastic!
Dominick John Diglio ....lol...Appalachian oud...
Search for Lindley doing "Cottonmill Blues" on the oud (or was it a saz?) . It will sla y you!
Dave can play the hell out of anything wth strings--a true virtuoso!
even a tennis racket !!
A marvel and a wonder...good luck finding ONE.
Always with Jackson Browne back in the day.... a genius for sure with all things stringed....great job....thanks...
I have heard Bob Dylan's version of this song in his album Self Portrait, but, this takes me more to Ireland and celtic islands.
I sure hope I get the chance to see Mr. Lindley again. I understand tinnitus caused him to have to cancel shows this last tour. I wish him all the best. Godspeed!
David passed away on 3/3/23 from long covid and related ailments.😭🤧
Truly psychedelic. Way to go Mr. Dave!
Always the poetic electric eclectic terlenkatetic Lindley..... wowowowow !!!
You do that very well sir!!

Amazing !!!
American royalty...
Whoa.
Very nice!
Great stuff . . his voice sounded like it had either a slight harmonizer or doubler on it.
OUD SUENA BIEN CON CUALQUIER TIPO DE MÚSICA BRAVO

Like Hendrix's hey Joe...the murder story blues tune is traditional.
Don't know why, but it's there going back a ways.
