Tonight’s a two-fer because I fear that both of these artists are fading or have faded from the collective consciousness of folk music. Show of hands, who knows about Judy Henske? The video isn’t the greatest quality but it does capture the power coiled up in this slender, demure-looking woman.
But I couldn’t resist including an early Richie Havens take on the same classic folk song. Because, hell, Richie Havens.

damnit — needs to be on an independent line!
(let’s see if this works)
Yup!
Another excellent acoustic treatment of a killer metal track
I see your “Fade to Black” and raise you one “Enter Sandman”.
vinyl, are you truly a Pat Boone fan?
No. I am not.
He’s a sanctimonious conservative peckerhead.
I like the “In a metal mood” album because, although he stinks, the artists that appear on that album are a who’s who of music.
I don’t know how he managed to get them other than paying them a lot of money.

Odd part of that, Boone would think it was the devil’s music and have nothing to do with them.
I think I just lost my breakfast… š
One of the things I keep saying on our radio show (Folk Fiasco, wdbx.org) is that the main difference between folk and rock is the amplifiers
And because I live to make TtT sweat, Halestorm debuted a new song in their recent tour in England:
“I AM THE FIRE!”
(I’ve already pre-ordered their upcoming CD.)
Ooh….. news I can use š Thanks Gary
Saw Richie Havens when I was at Temple in the late 60’s. Captivating performer and great interpreter.
Vaguely remember Judy Henske. What a talent.
One more from Imelda.
This making music with the feet… Michael Jackson and the Nicholas Brothers. There’s a little bit of “ham-bonin'” in the video, too.
