    sarahct I love that song; I was just pondering the other day why it hasn't been recorded yet. I guess it doesn't fit anywhere, but I hope it does someday.

    sponwed The Flood of 57 is a Stanley Bros tune I think. The Grateful Dead played it in the early 70's.
    Daniel Had the Key to the Kingdom is a Washington Phillips song.

I've been trying to talk G&D into releasing some of this material, but Dave told me that they hold themselves to a pretty high standard, and if both of them aren't behind a song 100%, they don't bother. You can't argue that based on the strength of their recorded output. Still, Tell Me What You Think About & Knuckleball Catcher deserve to be heard.

(I read some of your posts, and it doesn't sound like they live next door...) Hopefully you will convince them someday, when they can see value in these recordings.
    
    I respect their right to decide but even though they create this music I don't believe they can be objective about its value. Similarly I subscribe to the notion that once art is created it takes on a life of its own. I.e., Gill can say what she meant to convey in a song but the song can mean anything to anyone who listens to it. There's no right and wrong about this. (This is an easier argument with abstract music but it can still be made.)
    
    So how can they be certain that this music is not worthy? We at this site certainly want more, even if it is not their best. It is still better than 95% of what I hear on the radio.  less

That was truly my Year of Gillian. Between 5/30/11 & 2/19/12, I had the pleasure of seeing them 6 times, including The Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur and Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown, Ca. (each venue holds 300).

It's a veritable goldmine of unreleased songs. Country Fair, Go Away Picasso and Strange Isabella. Thanks for posting these up. I'm going to be working them out later and playing them down the pub. Incidentally the lead singer from Alabama 3 sometimes pops in and has a jam with us, he's a big hank Williams fan so we kick out a few HW numbers too. I must get some sort of recording device down there and give y'all a listen. We cover quite a lot of Gill's songs.  less

I've been working on a collection, one disc of contemporary covers (never released only and that includes tracks available for download on their website), one disc of unreleased originals, and one disc that's a collection of live traditional folk, Apalachian folk, early bluegrass, covers, and hymns, mostly dating to the first half of the twentieth century and before. Several appear in the Carter Family Song Book although the Carters can't always claim credit for them either. I've been doing a bit of research as I don't want to make something available lossless and free without doing my homework. There are a couple tracks that I only have once and the title is either made up or unknown.
    Here is the real deal about a few listed as originals:
    The Keys To The Kingdom - traditional gospel spiritual
    adapted by Blind Willie Davis (1928)
    -Gils version adapted by George Washington "("Wash" Phillips (1929)
    Single Girl, Married Girl - traditional (First recording by Kelly Harrell,...    less

    -Based on a fragment of an unnamed song found in the archives of the Virginia Folklore Society. Also titled "Done Laid Around", though versions with that title typically use a different set of stanzas.  less
