A couple Crazy songs.
"Crazy" performed by Patsy Cline. I have posted a version of this video before, but it is worth a second look. Another song written by Willie Nelson.
"Crazy Arms". This song was also performed by Patsy Cline, but here is Patty Loveless' version.
"Mama He's Crazy" - The Judds

Darrell Scott Covers
Today to I am going to post covers of the first three songs in my last post on Darrell Scott.
Here is the Patty Loveless version of "You'll Never Leave Harlan A Live". I saw Patty perform this a couple years ago when she was part of the Down from the Mountain tour. It was definitely one of the high points of the show.
Travis Tritt performing "Great Day to be Alive".
Dixie Chicks performing "Long Time Gone".

Murder Ballads
I said a couple weeks ago that I would do a post of Murder Ballads, and I guess Halloween is an appropriate time to do that. So here they are.
To start off here is Ralph Stanley and Patty Loveless performing "Pretty Polly".
Many murder ballads originated somewhere on the British Isles, and then the events were relocated to this side of the ocean when they were brought over and performed in the United State. "The Knoxville Girl" originates from an Elizabethan poem titled "The Cruel Miller". Here is Jim & Jesse McReynolds' version of that song.
Most of the videos of murder ballads are by men, but here is Joan Baez performing "The Lily of the West". Also in this one—unlike the previous two—it is not the girl that gets murdered.
.
I am not sure if this last song counts as a murder ballad or not. It deals with the consequences of a murder, and not the murder itself. But I am including it anyway. Also—compared to the previous songs—this is a recent song, having been written in 1959 by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin. Here is Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris' version of "Long Black Veil".

Lucinda Williams Covers
I just came from the Lucinda Williams concert. She is celebrating 30 years since she released her first album on Folkways. So in the concert she started with her first album and did about two songs from each succeeding album, ending up with Honey Bee. This provided a lot of variety, since the first two album were blues and country and then she progressed on to more Rock & Roll
I had decided to post these videos before I went to the concert, but she mentioned at the concert that there are only three people in Nashville who would touch her songs. So here they are.
Patty Loveless performing "The Nights Too Long".
Mary Chapin Carpenter performing "Passionate Kisses".
Emmylou Haris doing "Crescent City".
Finally, Emmylou Harris & Buddy Miller performing "Sweet Old World". This is a more recent video than the previous three.
