Songs That Tell Stories

The Greg Brown song, "Early," about an Iowa town of the same name, is a great piece of writing.

No one has posted it on youtube by Greg. I, personally, like local singer Gail Rundlett's version, but there is nothing of her work on youtube.

I found the great version by The Gibson Brothers. Good sound. Great voice!

@edgarblythe,

You're quite welcome. Grace Potter (besides being a hotty) is one pretty extraordinary singer.

@Ragman,

Agreed. That was the first time I heard her.

@plainoldme,

Love The Boar's Head Carol, POM.

This one always made me cry when I was a kid.

Here's a song that tells an amazing story. Some friends wrote it and our band got a record deal with it back in 1978.

I never heard of Bishop before. It's an awful story, but a good song and well done.
