[dcab-l] Rattlesnake Hill: My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains

 

Songwriters & Music Lovers:

 

Here is a Rattlesnake Hill studio cover of the Carter Family’s classic My Home’s Across

the Blue Ridge Mountains.  I found the specific authors to be Clarence Ashley, Tom

Ashley, and A.P. Carter.

 

This song is a standard of Bluegrass, Country, and Folk traditions.  I changed words in all

three verses to reflect a Civil War theme.  “Bobby Lee” is what the North called Robert E.

Lee, but in this song, a southerner from the Blue Ridge Mountains uses this name.

 

Rattlesnake Hill Musicians:

 

Jack Sanbower     Banjo

Ed Schaeffer         Rhythm Guitar & Vocal

Carolyn Kellock     Bass

Heather Twigg      Fiddle & Harmony

Kevin Conroy        Lead Guitar

My Home’s Across the Blue Ridge Mountains

(Verses by Ed Schaeffer)

 

Chorus: My Home’s across the Blue Ridge Mountains    (3x)

              I never expect to see you anymore

 

I’m joining Bobby Lee this morning            (3x)

I never expect to see you any more

 

These rebel boots are torn and tattered         (3x)

I never expect to see you any more

 

I’ll die here in this Yankee prison                (3x)

I never expect to see you any more

[dcab-l] All Mixed Up Live: The Last Thing on My Mind

Here is an All Mixed Up live cover of Tom Paxton’s classic The Last Thing on My Mind,

Originally recorded by him on his 1964 album Ramblin' Boy, his first album released on

Elektra Records. 

 

The song is based on the traditional lament song The Leaving of Liverpool, and also

builds on Bob Dylan's song Farewell.  This song remains one of Paxton's best-known

compositions.

 

The Last Thing on My Mind debuted at No.70 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

It would eventually peak at No.7 and spend a total of 17 weeks on the chart. The single's

B-side, Love Is Worth Living, was successful in Canada, peaking at No.4 on the RPM
