ROBIN WILLIAMSON - Like a Rolling Stone

I did a recent post that included the 'Incredible String Band' and it crossed my mind, I wonder what Ronin Williamson was doing these days? I was looking for another Dylan cover of  'Absolutely Sweet Marie'  by The Everley Brothers when I came across these couple of Gems. It also answered my question.  The first cover is of  'Like a Rolling Stone' with Robin accompanying himself on the Harp and is taken from a concert in Knocklofty House, Tipperary,  Ireland (2010)

The second one is a take of  'Absolutely Sweet Marie' and was taken from a concert at the Acorn Theatre, Penzance, Cornwall. Part of Golowan Festival week 2009. Robin also does a cover of the song and you can find this on the Album  'Just Like the River and other Guitar Songs'(2008).  It is great to see Robin is still out there doing his thing in the way only Robin can.

Two great videos and thanks to the good guys for putting them up for us to share and as a bonus here below is  'Sweet Marie'  from the Album.

WEDNESDAY CLUB - The Incredible String Band/Bert Jansch - October Song

WEDNESDAY CLUB - The Incredible String Band/Bert Jansch - October Song

Bert Jansch Incredible String Band Wednesday Club

MIDWEEK CRISIS you are looking for something amazing, come to WEDNESDAY CLUB we have the Incredible String Band, Bert Jansch and one of the best songs ever to come out of Scotland.

'If he needs a third eye'

THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND - October Song(1966)

I first heard this song in the mid sixties and it made an instant impression, it was on the first album by the Incredible String Band, it is well documented that Dylan himself acknowledged the greatness of this Robin Williamson classic. Take these lines for example :  

'The fallen leaves that jewel the ground, they know the art of dying,
and leave with joy their glad gold hearts in scarlet shadows lying'

That is pretty special. It is just a great song. If you want to know more about the Incredible String Band, just click.

They had a few albums in the late sixties which contained some very bizarre stuff indeed and were sometimes referred to as Psychedelic Folk and that sounds about right to me!. They had one of the biggest selling albums of 1968,  'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter'

BERT JANSCH - October Song(2008)

The great Mr Bert Jansch did a great version of the song on his album Crimson Moon(2008).  Both version are just fabulous and I will leave you to decide which you like best. There is not really too much left to say, just sit back and enjoy!
