East Virginia Blues

about

The Weavers, whose singing and struggle against the McCarthy Blacklist were my earliest inspiration, sang a softer version of this in the 50s, similar to the Carter Family’s. Mine comes from the singing and elegant
picking of Clarence Ashley who I had the pleasure of meeting in 1966.
