Canada's folk music scene in the 1960s produced legends — from Gordon Lightfoot and Ian Tyson to Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young — and that remarkable community also nurtured a whole world of talented acolytes.One such folkie follower was British-born David Wiffen. Growing up singing skiffle with the Kingston-upon-Thames-based Black Cat group, Wiffen at age 16 moved from Claygate, Surrey, England, to Canada, where he became something of a rambling man.Initially part of Toronto's burgeoning folk music scene, Wiffen hitchhiked to Edmonton in 1964 and later managed a Calgary folk club called “The Depression.” The following year he moved again, this time to Vancouver, where he was invited to perform at The Bunkhouse club on what was intended to be a live ensemble album. However, when the other invited musicians failed to show up, the gig became 23-year-old Wiffen's first solo album. David Wiffen at the Bunkhouse Coffeehouse, Vancouver BC was released on the Universal International label.By 1970, Wiffen had written what was to become his best known song. “Driving Wheel” was included on his self-titled first album for Fantasy Records. However, David Wiffen, the album, received such spotty promotion that the song was not widely known until it also appeared on Tom Rush's own self-titled 1970 album, his first for Columbia Records. Since then, “Driving Wheel” has become something of a signature song for Rush, still today often making it onto the set list for his shows around the country.Other artists also have covered the song over the years, notably David Bromberg (who 50 years ago played dobro on Rush's classic rendition) as well as Roger McGuinn and The Cowboy Junkies.About Driving WheelsWhile Wiffen's lyric contains a memorable automotive reference (My car broke down in Texas, stopped dead in its tracks…), the “wheel” in “Driving Wheel” actually is locomotive in nature.When the chorus says, I feel like some ol' engine that's lost its driving wheel, the “engine” in question is a stream engine. In that context, we're talking about a powered wheel that is driven by the locomotive's pistons… … or turbine, in the case of a steam turbine locomotive. Uh, class dismissed.Our Take on the TuneIt's funny sometimes how songs come to us. A while back Charlie was just noodling with his new resonator guitar while waiting for a phone call, when suddenly he landed on chords from this song, which he'd not even heard for decades, much less played. A week later he was sharing it with the guys at a rehearsal, and they latched on to the sound too. Just like that, the song comes soaring in from the Seventies. More from This YearBy the way, if you'd like to hear more songs that have popped up at practices this year, be sure to check out the 2024 playlist in our free Radio Floodango music streaming service.

"Barbara Allen"

A third of a millennium ago, Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary about a New Year's party at which he hear the “little Scotch song of Barbary Allen….”Scholars often cite that Jan. 2, 1666, entry as evidence that this famous ballad — which tells the tale of a beautiful woman who denies a dying man's love, then dies of grief soon after his untimely demise — already was hundreds of years old by the time Francis Child collected it in the late 19th century.Barbara's Other LifeIn fact, ethnomusicologists Steve Roud and Julia Bishop described it as "far and away the most widely collected song in the English language — equally popular in England, Scotland and Ireland — with hundreds of versions collected over the years in North America.”Roud and Bishop wondered if the ballad was originally written for a stage performance. Supported that, they point out that Pepys' diary entry mentions hearing a professional actress name Elizabeth Knepp singing the song at that notable New Year's party.However, folklorists Phillips Barry and Fannie Hardy Eckstorm dispute that idea.The ballad "was not a stage song at all,” they say, “but a libel on Barbara Villiers and her well-publicized adulteries with King Charles II.” Fellow folkie Charles Seeger liked that theory, adding that Pepys' delight at hearing a libelous song about the king's mistress would be perfectly in character for him.Print and Recordings“Barbara Allen” was frequently published in Britain throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, but it was not until 1836 that it appeared in America. After that, many variations were printed in broadsides in the United States through the 19th and 20th centuries.The earliest recording of the song probably was a 1907 wax cylinder made by Lincolnshire folk singer Joseph Taylor. The first vinyl recordings were Vernon Dalhart's in 1927 and Bradley Kincaid's the following year.Since then, some 500 traditional recordings have been indexed by the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library.Where, Oh Where?The song usually begins with a variation on the line, “In Scarlet Town where I was born there was a fair maid dwelling….”Don't bother looking; there is no such place as Scarlet Town, at least not in the geographical world recorded in the Britannica Atlas or in Google Maps. An invented name, it might be, some speculate, an ancient metaphor for a home of scarlet women. However, Wikipedia is curious if “Scarlet Town" might be a punning reference to Reading, the town on the Thames and Kennet rivers in southern England. Supporting that theory is the fact that a 1790 version of the song has a reference to “in Reading town, where I was bound.”Folk RevivalistsIn the 1950s and ‘60s, most folk revivalists — Pete Seeger, Jean Ritchie and Joan Baez leading the list — recorded versions of the ballad.Famously, Bob Dylan noted that folk songs are highly influential in his work. As he wrote in a poem, “Without ‘Barbara Allen' there'd be no ‘Girl from the North Country.'” Early on, Bob performed an eight-minute rendition of the original ballad, which was subsequently released on his Live at The Gaslight 1962 album.Our Take on the TuneCharlie Bowen brought us our version recently after revisiting his own favorite rendition, Tom Rush's 1963 pressing of the song (calling it “Barb'ry Ellen”) on Prestige/Folklore. Like Rush, Charlie cultivates a slightly different melody line. He also brings in his resonator guitar and slide to give the tune a slightly bluesy quality. Then Danny Cox and Sam St. Clair add beautiful solos and Randy Hamilton provides the perfect subtle vocal harmonies along with his bass lines. Here's the result. This is a public episode.

Tom Rush pretty much pioneered the folk movement of the early Sixties, issuing his debut album in 1962.  He's also credited with putting compositions by Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and James Taylor on album for the first time, with his LP The Circle Game in 1968.  We talked with Tom back in 2018 when he issued his album Voices. Well, he's back with his first new record in five years out called Gardens Old, Flowers New.  He talks about how he unearthed one of the songs on the new album from a live recording from 50 years ago. Also, how he wrote a song for his daughter when she was young (now she's grown up), and how he never intended that one to be on an album. He also talks about Rockport Sundays, a program he started during Covid, where he invites many of his musical friends to play and tell stories.

We're in the early — EARLY! — stages of planning The Flood's next album, which we hope to record later this year.Right now we're just starting to figure out what tunes we might want to record in the project, and we would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.For instance, here's a tune we like from last week's rehearsal that our manager, Pamela Bowen, captured on video. What do you think? Is this one we should take to the studio? About the SongThis great old Jerry Leiber-Mike Stoller composition, which The Coasters recorded in 1957, was featured in an earlier Flood Watch article. Click here if you want to read its backstory.A minor hit for The Coasters, the tune was resurrected nine years later when a little-known group called The Chicago Loop took it to No. 37 on the Billboard charts. But in the Floodisphere, we were much more impressed with a different pressing of the song a year earlier. Flood favorite folkie Tom Rush's 1965 self-titled debut Elektra album included a rocking rendition accompanied by Bill Lee, John Sebastian (of The Lovin' Spoonful) and Fritz Richmond (of The Jim Kweskin Jug Band.)Anyway, Give Us Your Thoughts!But back to The Flood's studio project, this will be our first new album since Paul Martin put together Speechless in 2021, and it will be the first to feature our newest Floodsters, Danny Cox and Jack Nuckols.We'd love to have your help to planning it. Send us your suggestions — just drop an email to Charlie at designbybowen@gmail.com — and we'll keep you posted as the work continues. This is a public episode.

Eric Richard Stone has been creating Americana music since well before it was labeled as such. Raised in a musical family of professional classical musicians in Philadelphia and Rockport, Maine, he tried Cello, then was lured away by the ways of folk after hearing James Taylor, Jim Croce, Joni Mitchell, and Tom Rush. Eric wrote his first song in 1975 and never stopped. In 1983 he recorded his first album, then recorded his next album 30 years later. What happened during those 30 years could best be described as "Life". Eric is now a regular on the folk singer-songwriter circuit. His performance credits include Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, Pagosa Folk N' Bluegrass, Four Corners Folk Festival, Red Lodge Songwriter Festival and many more. He has shared the stage or opened for Utah Phillips, John Denver, Tom Rush, Chuck Pyle, Kate Wolf and David Mallett.Eric writes songs that give a vocalist space for interpretation. Whether sung straight or with embellishment, his songs have phrases that sound clear and natural; he wants the audience to catch every word and every meaning. Dave sat down with Eric to talk about writing songs that give vocalists room to embellish, strategies for beating writer's block, and why magpies are the bikers of the avian community.

Help produce Basic Folk by contributing at basicfolk.com/donateTom Rush's career is a wonder. After stepping away from record labels and major tours in the 70's, he's managed to cultivate a dedicated audience that has loyally shown up for decades. His relationship to music had a rocky start with a dozen years of unenjoyable piano lessons. Tom talks about his cousins, Beau Beals, who taught him ukulele and how to find joy and fun in music. Rush started college at Harvard as a marine biology major, but switched to English lit and kept his love of music and writing strong throughout school. In fact, he did struggle with focusing on studying due to his very frequent trips to The Club 47, which is right around the corner from the Harvard Square campus in Cambridge, MA. Tom actually was able to start playing around town and soon recorded an album, which was a novelty at the time. He became known as "the guy with the record."His sound started off very traditional, recording versions of Lowland Scots and Appalachian folk songs. After a few albums in, he started looking for new material to record and came across a few unknown songwriters for his 1968 album, The Circle Game. Tom Rush was the first person to record songs by unknowns Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Jackson Browne. After a few albums into the 70's, Rush was burnt out, his label dropped him and he needed a well deserved break. In the 80's, Tom reinvented his career and laid the foundation for what it could look like for an independent musician to thrive. He established The Club 47 Concerts at Boston Symphony Hall, an upscale event that allowed his fans to enjoy folk rock in style. He became a champion of up and coming musicians like Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin. That nimbleness has followed him throughout the years and has proven most useful during the pandemic. Tom quickly created Rockport Sundays, his weekly video series where fans can support him via Patreon. Tom Rush! Still doing the damn thing in 2021!!
