This is one of the American variants of one of the oldest ballads, The Wife of Usher's Well. It was in my Jr. High School anthology as an example of balladry. I sing Peggy Seeger's version. I'm glad to see Texas Gladdin's version here. Elizabeth is a fine singer.
A masterpiece. "Never on earth, little darling mine".
A beautiful and compelling vocal and banjo--right up there with Roscoe Holcomb's version.
I never thought anyone could compare with Jean Ritchie but I was wrong. Elizabeth does. Incredible. I get both chills and joy from her voice. It has the perfect mountain quality.
Ohh
A real voice for a tune like this one.
So glad I found this
Adoro essa música.
Does anyone know the tuning of that banjo? I tried to replicate this sound in sawmill tuning and it didn’t quite sound right.
A little late, but the song is in G modal (gDGCD) I play it in relative minor fFGCD
Never knew this song before I read "Factory Man: How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring...". A great book , and a great song.
4 thumbs down... who are these people?! And what is wrong with them? This is just awesome, gives me chills down my spine...
Really Fine picking.
Beautiful. Greetings from Argentina :)
Beautiful song. Greetings from Argentina.
The best version of this song I have heard!
So simple and beautiful... I love the music of the US deep south!
Appallachian, not Deep South. :)
Great version of this song. Spine chilling. Question: Does anyone know if the fretless banjo has steel or synthetic strings?
gurdyman1 My fretless banjo has steel strings. Some use nylgut, some use gut, I've even met someone who uses fishing wire.
Thanks for the reply. I've used all of those type, but your banjo has a different tone than any of mine. I had a minstrel banjo once that had weed-whacker strings. Very colorful looking. :) Anyway, I love the beautiful tone you get from it. Complements Ms Laprelle's wonderful singing perfectly. Dave Leonard
@@gurdyman1 the combination is so authentically beautiful and pure. Takes you right up into those mountains as if the mountains were singing it to you.
How love thee, Elizabeth LaPrelle!
gives me chills
Can this be found on video? Anyone know of any similar labels that specialize in video footage? I have a ton of CDs,, it would be nice to see these old-time artists on film where possible. Feel free to message if anyone can assist me. Thanks for posting this! Subbed.
makes me long to be back where my kinfolk came from
Whew she just hit a note that sent me to tears :) Fantastic!
Simply beautiful.
Justin l ment the song is crap,,,,
William Redfern Come off it mate.
I could listen to this everyday
What a bloody noise
Just heard Elizabeth sing this live today in Richmond, VA. Now, Ive heard a LOT of singing (and done a fair bit of it myself), but I have never heard anything so moving and powerful!
This is the Child ballad no. 79, "The Wife of Usher's Well". Also hear Hedy West, with gorgeous banjo. This is far too slow for me, but respect to the fine musicianship of LaPrelle - many must have sung it this way. We used to sing this in London in the late 50s.
We can only revive and restore this music - when the lifestyle goes the music loses its roots, rather like a farm tool in a museum, when there's no longer any sweat on the handle. Nevertheless Elizabeth LaPrelle makes a lovely job of it - and she presents herself well too. I shall be looking for everything she sings in future. Love the banjo - had on in England in the 60s, sold it to Sam McGee in the North. I strung it with double-length gut violin strings - bet you can't get them any more.
Great post, thanks.
Mountain Justice loves Elizabeth Laprelle!
Great version!!!
Kirk's all knowing smile at 0:57 .He knows it's good.
Haunting and gorgeous, the real deal for mountain music!
No frills, just awesome-ness. Love it!
love the fretless banjo
That's Kirk Sutphin. One of the young greats!
Fabulous voice, and she knows how to use it
The singing AND banjo are amazing. The lack of frets on the banjo (or something), really adds some nice nuance.
Phenomenal! Haunting and beautiful music.
This is what the Blue Ridge Mountains sound like.
Miss seeing you at the Getaway, Elizabeth. Great job on this! Ernie Johnson
I've watched a lot of her videos, and I don't remember seeing a "dislike" yet. That is a testament to how indisputably good they are!
awesome as awesome can be! thank you!
that's kurt sutphin on the formica 5 string
greeting from malaysia, this is haunting
WOW.
So glad to have found these two. Just love them both .. KIrk . , Very cool banjo All the best from Guy in New England ..
Man, she is good. I just heard her singing "Muleskinner Blues" on BBC Radio 2. (Mike Hardings show). See how far she stands from the microphone?
Very good !
This is just everything I like about old time country music. The picking, the singing, the harmony, and hooey that beautiful guitar. And don't ever forget the stoicism.
I love it, eddie and kirk are both great!
