[dcab-l] Bluegrass Classic with 3-part Harmony: "Fox on the Run"

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

While most country and bluegrass songs originate from their own roots, occasionally a

song arrives from outside sources.  Probably the most unusual song to enter bluegrass

was "Fox on the Run", a British Rock song written by Tony Hazzard and recorded by

Manfred Mann in October 1968.  The bluegrass band Emerson and Waldren first

recorded this in 1969, then The Country Gentlemen recorded it in October of 1971.

Both these recordings, with almost identical arrangements, were played mostly on

bluegrass and folk stations until country artist Tom T. Hall released it as a single from

his album Magnificent Music Machine, in which Hall displayed his love for bluegrass.

His version received ample country airplay and reached #9 on Billboard’s country chart.

There have been at least an additional 39 recordings, many by bluegrass artists.

 

Please allow me to draw attention to the fine pickers below, not only on this 1^st take

Fox on the Run recording, but in all recordings with them that I’ve emailed to you.  I’m

proud to have been in their midst!

 

 

Rattlesnake Hill musicians:

 

Carolyn Kellock      Bass

John Relph             Mandolin and Harmony

Terry Wittenberg    Banjo and Harmony

Ed Schaeffer          Guitar and Vocal

Fox On The Run            by Tony Hazzard

 

She walks through the corn leading down to the river,  Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun

She took all the love that a poor boy could give her,     And left me to die like a fox on the run

Like a fox, like a fox, like a fox on the run

 

Everybody knows, the reason for the fall, When woman tempted man down in paradise’s hall

This woman tempted me alright, she took me for a ride, But like the lonely fox, I need a place to hide

 

We’ll pour a glass of wine, to fortify our soul,      We’ll talk about the world and friends we used to know

I see a string of girls, who’ll put me on the floor, The game is nearly over and the hounds are at my door
