Phantastic! A good friend sent me here. I said, I love Joan Baez's voice - if only she had less vibrato. My friend said, go with Jean Ritchie, then. He was plain right!

Thanks for putting this on YT... I never liked commercialised country, this is so similar to celtic/irish music pure I was intrigued by the song Here Sits A Young Lady.. could not find the lyrics so sat down and listened to them and here they are as best I can transcribe My Parents raised Me Tenderly They had no child but me But my mind was set on rambling around and with him I couldn’t agree There was a girl in this same town She was so wondrous fair There was no other girl in the country run That with her I could compare I asked her if she would agree For me to cross over the Maine She said she would prove true to me Till I return again I got my things went to the dock Her tears shown down like wine We kissed shook hands and parted I left My girl behind As I walked out one morning To view Old George’s square The mail post boat ust arose And the post boy met me there He handed me a letter which give me to understand That the girl I left behind me had married another man I turned myself all around and about I knew not what to doing I read on a few lines further And I found the news were true I followed the old train That company I will resign I’ll ramble around from town to town For the girl I left behind Written by Jean Ritchie
Omigosh. This is finally uploaded to You Tube. I remember when Jean Ritchie spent a year in Fresno as the folk artist in residence at Fresno State. Thanks so much, Ray Huffman!
Lovely album. I seem not to have it in my vinyl collection. It seems a bit more modern than older albums. We had Jean in our neck of the woods when we did an Appalachian holiday show at California Revels in Oakland probably mid '90's. Oakland CA 2022
I could do that, but each track would have to be recorded separately and uploaded to my channel. That would be very time consuming and I'm not sure what the purpose of doing that would be.
Other than making it easier to find favorite tracks, of course. I doubt that few, if any people, have this album. So I would have to do it. I might consider it, since I have the time, if you really think it would be worth it.
I’ve had this album since the late 70s and still love it. It’s still in good condition. I recently bought a USB turntable and found software to convert to digital files and learned how to upload to You Tube. Still going through my large album collection to try to find albums that have not been posted - learning that’s not easy to find!

Thanks, Nancy.

My Parents raised Me Tenderly
They had no child but me
But my mind was set on rambling around
and with him I couldn’t agree
There was a girl in this same town
She was so wondrous fair
There was no other girl in the country run
That with her I could compare
I asked her if she would agree
For me to cross over the Maine
She said she would prove true to me
Till I return again
I got my things went to the dock
Her tears shown down like wine
We kissed shook hands and parted
I left My girl behind
As I walked out one morning
To view Old George’s square
The mail post boat ust arose
And the post boy met me there
He handed me a letter which give me
to understand
That the girl I left behind me had married
another man
I turned myself all around and about
I knew not what to doing
I read on a few lines further
And I found the news were true
I followed the old train
That company I will resign
I’ll ramble around from town to town
For the girl I left behind

Thanks Sandra. I imagine this is not an easy album to find. Especially in this condition. Glad you found my upload.
im 35 and I grew up in the wrong time era , love this type of music. Today music is just trash.
To this day I regret not going to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass when she and Pete Seeger appeared together.
Thank you, Mr. Ray !! Beautiful songs!!
WOW
She sang a song called "oh thou great Jehovah." It's so beautiful but the recording I found is so bad.
nice cover
Thank you, Ray. This is beautiful♡
My pleasure. Thank you!
We need "Mountain Born" too, if anyone has it and knows how to post it here.
Someone should isolate these tracks for posting. I don’t know how to. I love this album. I love Jean Ritchie.

It's received almost 9K views since I published it 3 years ago, so there is some interest in it.
Done.
Yknow, “sugar on the floor” is a happy song, but I find it tearjerking and psychedelic as well. There’s a lot of reverb and it’s sweetly out of tune.
Gonna get ants.

I've subscribed to your channel so I'll check back periodically!
Thank you this is a gem x
