We've Been Through Some Crappy Times Before

Austin Lounge Lizards (2006)

I chose this link because the sound quality is good. The image you see is from an animated film made by the band called Drugs I Need. It does not have anything to do with this song. This song was written by Hank Card. These guys are, in a way, a 21^st^ version of Country Joe and the Fish.

I thought this song might help cheer us up in these dark times.

Rutabaga Boogie

Paul Shelasky & His Musical Zombies (1974)

Watched Thursday's Elsbeth last night. At one point Elsbeth picked up a vegetable and asked "Is this a rutabaga?" That reminded me of this song. I think last night may have been the first time I've heard this song in 50 years. I really quite like this song. For the record, the rutabaga is a root vegetable. It doesn't grow on vines, bushes, or trees.

Da hat wohl noch niemand gedacht, das daraus mal die! Alison Krauss wird. Aber man hört das große Talent ohne Zweifel.
Die meisten kenne sie sicher durch den fantastischen "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Soundtrack. Wir haben eins ihrer Lieder auf unserer neuen Platte. Ihr werdet nicht enttäuscht sein.

A great, old murder ballad. The song has been covered by many musicians and singers.
Rose Connely ~ Down By The Willow Garden
Charlie Monroe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZGj7m2bcJ4
Despite the many different spellings of Rose’s surname — Connoley, Conley, Connally, Condolee, Connilley, Condelee, Congalee, Cumberly, or Caudeley – the song’s lyrics haven’t altered all that much over time. It was likely written back in the 19th century, possibly as early as 1811. Documented in 1915 by songcatcher Cecil Sharp during his travels throughout Virginia and North Carolina, it was first recorded for the Victor Talking Machine Company sometime in either 1927 or 1928 by G.B. Grayson and Henry Whittier.
- "Down in the Willow Garden", also known as "Rose Connelly" is a traditional Appalachian murder ballad about a man facing the gallows for the murder of his lover: he gave her poisoned wine, stabbed her, and threw her in a river - for insurance money.
