Mickey Newbury whose angelic voice was so suited for "Danny Boy" went on to write and sing a beautiful catalogue of exquisitely haunting ballads! ❤🙏 RIP, Mickey Newberry, Kris Kristofferson and host Ralph Emerson
Mickey Newbury is, to me, the greatest poet of song - even revisiting themes over decades much as Tennyson did with Locksley Hall. This piece is an innovative and wonderful first person interpretation of the great Weatherly ballad. Chris, you know this, but your Dad is special. Thank you, Marianne, for sharing.
Harlequin Melodies was my first LP of Mickey! I have all his LP's and CD's but for one collection CD....Maybe some day I'll have that one too...I think Mickey Newbury's music is very well liked in Holland and that makes me glad :) Thank you Sjaak for your kind comment and as always you are very welcome!! ~Marianne...
♥ You are so very welcome dear Stephen......Yes, I hope for that too, that would be so awesome right?.....Thank you for your very kind words!! TC...... ~Marianne...
Jack Adams I. Am an old man now, musician all my life, lived my life daily through his voice , guitar and songs - he brought godliness into my life. Thank you Mickey. Dk.
I thought I'd heard all of Mickey's songs. This is an absolutely gorgeous version of a great classic. I've never known an artist that writes and sings with as much heart as he did. This is truly music that you can feel. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece.
Thank you so very much for your heartfelt comment....you truly made my day!!......You're so very welcome and I do so agree with you!! music you can feel!!! So true, so true!! .Thank you so much once again!! ~Marianne...
Then I would have to duplicate my comments Mr Jack! No Fun!!! Yes Mickey starts out differently but then eases into the actual singing of the song Danny Boy....Glad you enjoyed it and as always I'm happy to share!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment Mr Jack!!! Goodnight!!! ~Marianne...
Ahhh...Thank you so much Kathleen! What a lovely compliment!!. You just now warmed my heart!!! Thank you!! I want to ask the Big Question but Benny and I weren't sure when we could pop it....but I'm going to lol Have you finally got to see Mr Steve Young?? Both our memories have holes lol we just don't remember dates very well!!!!
Sometimes lol!!! AWESOME Kathleen!! I can hardly wait!!! Have the best time ever my friend, you deserve a lovely evening and I hope that this will be a most memorable event for you!!! Smiles to you!!!! :) ~Marianne...
+Michael Everson both lived in Hendersonville, Tn for a time. I used to visit Mickey and Susan on their house boat. Once Mickey gave a private concert out on his boat dock, just the two of us. Susan was a part of the new christy singers. Micky proposed over the phone. He met her flight and were married in Nashville. After Mickey died she remained a widow but she has since remarried. Lives in Oregon.
Fortunately everyone is entitled to their own personal preferences Peter.....I'm happy that you enjoy Judy Collins's version, she has a beautiful voice indeed.....No one ever needs to be sorry for listening to the music they love best.......Thank you for your comment! ~Marianne...

A superb rendition by a supremely talented artist.
Sleep sweetly, Mickey.

Listen to this then listen to Roy Orbison's version...two quite different but equally beautiful versions.
Glad someone else sees it too! Both have beautiful phrasing......
Nice to hear from a Mickey Newbury fan.
