Boot Leg
Приєднався 24 бер 2011
A channel for folk music bootlegs. As well as my own cover songs.
I'm sorry for the weird angle in my guitar videos. It was the camera - I don't really have a proper camera, so I recorded my videos by putting the iPhone camera on the desk..! It's really the only angle that can show my guitar and fingering. If the camera was up enough to show my face, it would be the guitar that's off the scene.. I've decided a long time ago that the guitar is much more important than my face, so I have to leave myself alone. Oops!!!

Fun fact like alot of americans myself included he was a liberal in that he meant it when he said blacks and others should have the same rights as the whites. He treated them like people not pets and a voting block. He distanced himself from the scene when it was clear thay communists had taken over. He loved america...even though he was not american. America is exceptionally good and fair when compared to any other society from any other time in history. Have we had some bad periods...yep hell yea but when compared to the world at large its the greatest country of all. Believe it or not but liberals used to believe in this as well they were no commies or socialists.
I will be honest and don’t know who this song is about.
John Denver was taken way to soon
FORE!!!!!
Gordon recorded this on his debut album, but didn't sing as many verses. This is a good live version, though. One thing I liked about the folkies and old-timey music folks---they kept their mouths shut until it was time to sing or applaud.
Awesome. This line will always haunt me, "In Luang Prabang there is a spot, where the corpses of your brothers rot. And every corpse is a patriot, and every corpse is a hero."
Beautifully played! Can you share the tab please? (Sorry, english is not my first language)
Brilliant
Thus song is actually about synthetic substance abuse and homosexuality
I don't understand what you're talking about sorry...
Jesus....
I miss Guy Clark. He was a lyrical genius.
*_"Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for The Right!"_* ✊ 😫
This is a wonderful compliation, Bruised Orange, Donald and Lydia, hello in there. Man you've really brought me back, Thanks so much
A song needed in the Trump era
THANK YOU- I MISS JD.
this used too be called The Land of Power and Glory, god damet mandella
He’s a true free spirit song writer that loves the mtns. My wife and I love the mtns too there’s something about wind blowing through 100’ pines and the wildlife doing their thing
Looks like a Banjo.
I really love this version of this beautiful song. Another classic from John Denver.❤️
You have “THE voice” and amazing talent…just keep on keeping on and someday we’ll all be replacing our “Swifty” tees with “Boot Leg”☺️👍
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Will keep on playing and practising for sure...
One of the best to ever do it. Rest In Peace
I'd heard of Dave Van Ronk for years via Hot Tuna and Hesitation Blues, and finally got to experience him in 1998 in Seattle at the little folk stage of the annual Bumbershoot fest. Boy was I lucky. I knew I was in the presence of something very rare indeed. Woah! Cut me to the quick.
he was anti-establishment like John Kerry when Kerry was featured on the news opposing the vietnam war. Which is to say, Ochs was part of the cia's 'anti establishment' movement. His mind control eventually malfunctioned.
In that moment Kerry was anti-establishment, but overtime he became part of the establishment. He's like Bernie Sanders in that regard.
@@BazookaTooth707 Kerry was never anti establishment. He played his role. I don't know much about Bernie. In general, all of the talking heads featured in US media are well connected, agents of US intelligence.
Ahh, I see what you're saying now in your original comment. You're saying they're not actually anti-establishment but rather intelligence plants. Do you have any actual proof and documentation to the claim that Ochs was an intelligence asset and/or mind controlled? I'm well aware that many music icons and people politically involved were the ideal subjects for this kind of experimentation, but I've yet to see anything to officially back up the claims you're making about Ochs.
@@monkeyb1820 lmk if you can see my response to your last comment. I think it got flagged
@@BazookaTooth707 I don't see it. I know that url postings are almost always automatically blocked. But some anti-government sentiments are blocked too.
Phil’s words live forever.
An amazing interpretation of this incredible Phil's song. Tim Hardin was incredible. Like always.
There's a song that could have very well been co-written with Shel Silverstein. Gibson collaborated with him on a pretty much regular basis.
Possibly!
Boot Leg, where've you been bro, we miss your streams!😄✌️
Thank you very much for liking my playing - I'll do a livestream a moment later! Hope to see you soon.
@@ffpr1 Sounds good brother!😊
Truly stunning tribute of this marvellous Phil Ochs masterpiece, which in the late 60s was my fortunate introduction to Phil's album of the same title. What wondrous folk music we enjoyed in those years of heady discovery, which almost 60 years later, still resonate with beauty. ❤
A mi parecer una de sus mejores interpretaciones. Se nota que lo estaba disfrutando y que cantaba con el alma.
Loaded for bear with the need to bring in the herd of social justice 'folkies', Dave said good-bye to Phil in the most potent way he could imagine! What a spirit - such a brutally determined folk artist, was Dave ! Missing him still !
es la interpretación más hermosa del mundo. Bravo y felicidades.
Can't you upload those rare Ochs songs? The original your eyes will taste of the flowers?
I can only offer the sheet music to that one. Do you need them? The other songs are already available on UA-cam.
@@ffpr1 so, there's no available original recording of it?
@@Eduardo-Ferreira1982 The UNC library's Southern Folklife collection has one of them. Jim Glover or Sonny Ochs might have one too. I'm not sure if they're the same recording though.
@@ffpr1 there are some broadside tapes stored on universities and they're free to listen, but only for US residents.
@@Eduardo-Ferreira1982 I wish I could some day have a chance to visit there.
Real Foxhole hours
That's a bajo
This is a guitar with a banjo head.. or you might call it a banjo with a guitar neck.. A real banjo would not have that kind of a 6-string neck.. I have a real banjo which has 5 strings and I confess that I don't really know how to play it..
What a great hidden gem. Is there any chance you could upload Phil's version or where I could find it?
Thank you. You can only find a sheet music of the song in the Broadside magazine.
Nice
Good songs.👍🏼
Finally lyrics come into fruition ⚰️🎉
Still a beautiful voice.
The voice at the beginning who says “Do Butterfly”, to which Johnson replies “I’m gonna do Waiting Around To Die “, is John Denver, who was Johnson’s partner in a group called the Mitchell Trio, later called Denver, Boise and Johnson.
Yes.. But Michael didn't do Butterfly anyway at this party!
Horrific the physical condition he was in there. Unable to even remember the lyrics with the sheets. Keep off the drugs folks is all I can say here…. I’m a huge Hardin fan but his addiction and selfishness casts a shadow over his otherwise genius existence. RIP TIM. You’ve left a footprint that can will live on for decades.
Gerdys Folk City
Still has the power to make me well up.😢
Some will never leave the nest , While some walk on the moon . How profound is that ❤
He would have been far better off singing songs to and about Jesus and hope. He had none.
Like how Jesus hated the rich elite of Judea & wanted their money to go to the poor instead of fattening Rome?
He recorded Ballad of the Carpenter
Dude, your english is by far beter than the most of chinese ot even indy people, as portuguese speacker bilngual I undestood you sound and clear! Congrats! Be proud!
Thank you very much!!
Good lord the "controversial" verse is depressingly accurate.
This may be earlier than 1/66: GL put this on his first solo album (recorded 12/64, though it wasn't released until early '66) and he says here Ochs "wrote this in Toronto last summer. " That may have been '64. Ochs played the unfinished song for Gord and the version on Lightfoot! varies a little with the version here and the one Ochs finally recorded (live) around Christmas '65.
I know TP wrote this, but John Denvers rendition is far superior 😊
This video shows the great Tom Rush at the peak of his talent. But his recent work is still impressive after all of these years. Rush is one of the prototypical singer songwriter guitarists who, in my view, never got the recognition he fully deserves. I saw him back in the 70s and he was incredible. BTW, he is a terrific acoustic guitarist, too!
