Bring Back My Blue Eyed Boy 3,650kB FULL TRACK!! (A. P. Carter, APRS, BMI) Our version comes from the singing of the Lilly Brothers, who used a slightly different tune than the 1929 Carter Family recording.
Poor Ellen Smith 1,192kB (traditional, arr. by Bluegrass Intentions, Fifth Child Music, BMI) Peter Degraff wrote this song in 1863, after being convicted of Ellen Smith's murder. He claimed to be an innocent man, but our version is more like the William Burroughs story: a tale about getting loaded and playing with guns.
Jack of Diamonds 1,423kB (traditional, arr. by Bluegrass Intentions, Fifth Child Music, BMI) Phillip Glass goes country. We appropriated the cockeyed melody from the playing of Wayne Perry, recorded by Alan Lomax in Crowley, Louisiana, 1934. The words come from "Swami" Tommy Jarrell.
A Lazy Farmer Boy 1,392kB (or The Young Man Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn) 2:42 (traditional, arr. by Bluegrass Intentions, Fifth Child Music, BMI) A droll (or drawl) song from Buster Carter & Preston Young's 1931 recording; Harry Smith included it on his famous anthology.
