A traditional song about the Irish famine recorded in 1963 as part of "Bob Dylan and Co."that another member put up. It was also on Carolyn's second Columbia LP.
Carolyn Hester, the FIRST of the modern folk revivalists, and quite possibly the best. Her voice is both crystal clear and exudes honesty and feeling beyond words.
A great singer from the folk renaissance of the 1960s. Her simple, clear, pure style--as evidenced in this video--shows that she was deserving of the greater popularity enjoyed by many of her contemporaries (Baez, Collins, etc.). Those who aren't familiar with her are in for a real treat.
Yes, Carolyn was and remains a folk icon. Read the book, "Positively 4th Street," for a very good picture of just how important she was. Additional information about the title: Posted by Pogue Mahone on 18 March, 2002 06:25 PM:
Well, the Irish sometimes call potatoes "praties." Prata is Irish for potatoes.
I lived about 200 feet down the incline off Chelan Drive in the Hollywood Hills 1971-1978. Didn't know she was even a musician. Liked her and husband Dave. They had a little girl who played with my 2 boys in mid-70s. I came across some photos of them at my house. Hope she's doing well. Doubt if she'd remember me.
ça arrache le coeur... très beau! Je ne connaissais que de nom Carolyn Hester, maintenant que je sais ce qu'elle fait, je ne regrette pas d'avoir tapé son nom sur RUclips. Je me dis même heureusement que je l'ai fait!
I recommend "Positively 4th Street" by David Hajdu - this multi-biography focuses on the Baez sisters, their lovers, Farina, Dylan and others, and the folk scene of the early 60's and it's transition to singer/songwriters in the mid 60's.
Agreed. Carolyn is still touring and comes to Dallas as often as possible. I would say though, that Baez has certainly maintained her voice, as well as many others. We all lose that "range" eventually, but not the love of singing. Carolyn has a beautiful soul.
Didn't Joan's sister recently pass away. In all the years I loved Joan, never knew a sister so beautiful and talented existed until I saw the PBS TV special on Joan. Does Carolyn live in LA? I'd love to see her again. I saw her in about 1964 at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, CA and got her to sign one of her albums that I still have to this day. Love her. I believe a few years ago she was given the American Folk Singers award.
did you ever notice how many female folksingers were also stunningly good looking??? Carolyn, Judy, Joan, Mary.. and yet rockers like Janis and Grace YEECCCHHH

What about Richard Dyer-Bennett???
He studied with Swedish folk singer Sven Scholander, who was called “The Last Troubador” and a few of his recordings are here on RUclips
@@dougr.2398 Yes, but is he considered a "modern" folk revivalist?
Still love her her music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Carolyn Hester should have been more famous. Great talent.

What a beautiful voice
Carolyn Hester has a very beautiful and distinctive voice. I became a fan back in 1961.
I loved this girl. Now she's old like me, but age has been kinder to her!
"Those who aren't familiar with her are in for a real treat."
Indeed, you are correct. This is fantastic.
the greatest thing ive ever heard with my ears

i love all 3. you are right. baez opened for Caorlyn once upon a time.
Eine himmlisch schöne Stimme - und für mich ein magisches Lied!

Meine bezaubernde Carolyn,
sei mir herzlich willkommen!
great song and film. when the folk scene meant something.
Carolyn cooked me some potato pancakes and rubbed my back once.
Didn't Buddy Holly bring both her and Waylon Jennings to New York in 1957/58??
praties still grow small where i am...

About the great famine in Ireland, it wasn’t what you thought you know, corruption was prevalent then too ye know....
A fine Texas lady
Why does the Statue of Liberty look like Ron Weasley?

The stunning model Grace Wing Slick you are talking about? Man. Glasses time.
Grace Slick is one fine looking lady.
Richard Farina divorced Carolyn Hester and married Joan Baez's sister Mimi.
Auch ein Meilenstein,
ein Diamant ersten Grades!!!
praties are potatoes
Did she sing in an episode of The Twilight Zone?
That was Bonnie Beecher. They likely knew each other.
altogether powerful, and knowingly or not morphed by headbutter Dolores O'Riordan into *Zombie*
