dc3c46 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anybody remember "Chestnut Mare" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Sheesh... I can tell none of you guys are into Ian Tyson or Chris Ledoux, especially Chris. Tyson used to do cutting competitions and was a rodeo rider when he was a kid; Ledoux was a PRCA world champion rider. Both directly or indirectly reference horses and the western lifestyle, as do a number of others who aren't known at all in the rock "community." Or Jazz for all of that. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anybody remember "Chestnut Mare" ?? Absolutely. I saw Mcguinn do it in a solo concert nearly....10(?) years ago. And this is vintage - I don't know who the percusssionist is though, looks like Walter Becker!!! And Ian Tyson....a group or album called 'Great Speckled Bird'?

milod Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Ian and Sylvia Tyson in the 60s... yes with Great Speckled Bird, but... It's a long career... The Canadian folk/country/folk-rock duo split; Ian ended up in the 80s doing a batch of cowboy revival material, sometimes with a bigger band, sometimes himself and another guitarist and bass player. A great talent who, as he described his father, can be difficult... Here's one example. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've seen Echo and the Bunnymen a couple of times. Good times indeed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaWs79v0ugE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Chris... Or... and this is the real thing from a guy who was a world rodeo rough stock riding champion. Some references may escape those living a world away from rodeo. <grin> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvsRbOC_lxY There's more. Rock? Country? Today's cowboy is more like it, in a world with a bit of all sorts of music playing on a pickup truck's radio far from broadcast towers. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feldkeen4 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Anybody remember "Chestnut Mare" ?? I saw the Byrds in 78 or 79. They toured as the Byrds to promote the McGuinn, Clark, Hillman album. They were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 ... I don't know who the percusssionist is though, looks like Walter Becker!!! That would be Gene Parsons. He's the guy who invented the B string bender (along with Clarence White who is on guitar in the video you posted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Surf... I actually got to meet Jimmy Driftwood and BS with him a bit. Neat guy who did some good material. Tennessee Stud was done quite a bit when I was in college in the '60s. One girl singer even ... uhhhh ... did some variations on the words. <grin> It's a good piece although I'm sure some folks nowadays may not care for several verses as racist. It does give an idea of the times about which it was written, which of course is why Driftwood, a frequent school teacher with varying degrees of education by today's standards, wrote a lotta the material. I'd add that this piece does reflect the spirit of the era quite well, if not the musical style. As for songs with horses in or about... we ain't even come close to scratching the surface. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh-uh - look again - Parsons on drums, plus a percussionist who wasn't regularly in the band. No matter.... I saw this line-up back in 1970!
