    Let me tell you something. This was a magic time, a magic moment, Theresa was on Fire and the whole band was being held up by the Holy Spirit! So Blessed to have been party of those last Grammy Award Winning Years and all the special nights at the Barn that went with it. This is one example of the magic that Got a Hold. ❤️❤️❤️

    Long Black Veil has been one of my favorite Americana songs ever, since I was 15. When my son went to dance through Croatia in 2000, with Vela Luka dance troupe, they did Western music and dance, LBV was everyone’s favorite Western song.❤

    Levon will always be one of my favorites too. The Band was great! I’ve always said, Levon was the heart and soul of The Band. The kid from Turkey Scratch Arkansas. There is a Rock N Roll Heaven. And they have one helluva drummer. His name is Levon Helm.

    One of the more interesting things about the Long Black Veil is that it is not an ancient song of Appalachia
    The truth is that "Long Black Veil" is a 1959 country ballad, written by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell.

    Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
    Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
    There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
    That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
    The judge said son, what is your alibi
    If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
    I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
    For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
    She walks these hills in a long black veil
    She visits my grave when the night winds wail
    Nobody knows, nobody sees
    Nobody knows but me
    Oh, the scaffold is high and eternity's near
    She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
    But late at night, when the north wind blows
    In a long black veil, she cries ov're my bones
    She walks these hills in a long black veil
    She visits my grave when the night winds wail
    Nobody knows, nobody sees
    Nobody knows but me

      Check Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings in Victoria, closing the show with this. Seriously...very subdued interpretation. I like anything Levon ever did, including this, but it could be argued this might be a bit energetic and stompy for the lyrical subject matter...not that I'd make that argument. But I wouldn't go so far as to say there are no better versions till you hear Welch and Rawlings...and possibly others.
