The Jim Kweskin Jug Band (a song with Maria Muldaur)

[erykahbadu172]

Does anybody know the name of this song?

[recordsare]

great, wonderful, blessings to all

[ainekuraine2008]

good

[hek7]

I like how this video is tagged with 'marijuana' and 'drugs'.

[GammonAndSpinach]

Ekshly, the guy with the jug is the inimitable Fritz Richmond. I believe Geoff is playing the mandolin here.

[philolin]

For you youngsters out there ... The balding banjo player in the back is none other than Bill Keith, who perfected Scrugg's tuner and wrote his banjo book.

[Burrempie]

jezus christ, I´ve been watching this video for at least 20 times in one hour and I can´t fuckin stop it!!

[MyCatBear]

American Idol contestant, Miss Emily Reed, is the new Maria Muldaur.

[jovialduke]

They put the jug guy in the back! What a travesty!

[TheDrmedina]

@jovialduke Maria D'Amato did marry the guy with the jug, Geoff Muldaur.

[FlameHound99]

She sounds like a good yodeler

[rogerontheoldtraps]

One can see why John Sebastian fell head over heels in love with the lovely Maria.

[allenshepard]

Ive had this song in my head all day at work. then came home to find it on youtube thanks for uploading this

[illfinite]

aaaaaaaaa i want more

[osvelhos]

see: Os Velhos da Montanha

[TyteFystedFolkie]

@StinkyWater28 WOW!! I guess that makes this YOUR fifteen bytes of fame.

[joealanouf]

found a recored of then tody for a, i loved them instenly but knew i woud,vongard had lots of good folk bands...

[fluxstringer]

Acrually perhaps still Maria DeAmatto at this time.

[distar10]

This was in a little joint down the village (NYC), I believe. I was there and I remember Maria's dress,too. Everytime they played the village, we would go see them. Amazing..and that fiddle cried!

[prettyX1]

i want her dress!

[TyteFystedFolkie]

@prettyX1 And I want more women to wear dresses like that!!

[DBDForever]

I heard this song in the Bob Dylan movie No Direction Home and fell in love with her voice

[ari1234a]

Great Jugs :D

[curtnevan]

Am I the only one who hears the soul of Bessie Smith in this young Maria? What a great find! Thank you.

[BattleAngel]

@curtnevan no thats a wonderful observation. you can tell she really learned from the best. but even more than she sounds like bessie she sounds like victoria spivey. i knew from the moment i heard her voice she modeled her self after spivey. and lo and behold it turned out that she studied under spivey! they have the same intonations and accents and everything.

[dcaccavo]

Well, she only *looks* 14. She's about 23 here.

[Cyclist051]

That is too good. Great find. Maria Muldaur must be all of, what, 14 years old here?! And already, what a voice! And of course, that jug playing is just incredible. It's quite hard to blow that low!

[erikjarl]

I'm wondering if anybody knows what the bass instrument the guy is blowing is called?

[black43jax]

A Jug.

[CalgarySandy]

LOL

I had a friend brought his jugs in in a cello case. He handled them like they were gold.

[komoru]

@erikjarl It's a cider jug

[PanWilson]

Is this the only clip from the 60s era? There must be more somewhere. This was around 1966 and Midnight at the Oasis was around 1973.

[bertwindon]

Qhat an earth was I doing in the 60's - I didn't clock MM until her wondrous hit wonder came out, and that was so long ago, does anyone know when it was ?

It seems like a early 90's event to me, but I just can't say with any certainty, and find it fifficult to believe that it was THAT long-ago. But 60's !? Wow - never knew !

[ralphhhh1]

The violinist is the great Richard Greene. And Maria will soon be issuing a new jug band album, recorded with some of her old compadres.

[grayforester]

Every blues song is different but they are all the same.

[dharmaseed]

Who's the guy on the violin? None of my CD's make mention of another violin player besides Maria.

[veloz96]

maria i just love the way you sing, and of course the beauty in your face, i hope that you have reach all your hopes.

[synapsecracklepop]

What a set of pipes. If you've heard her CD of Dylan love songs, she's still marvelous.

[saullouis]

Heard her do "moving day" on the radio show "midnight special" on WBAI about a thousand years ago. It was great.

[distar10]

we used to go see them down the village in nyc all the time in the 60's. They were great-such fun! He sure could play that fiddle--made it just cry!!!

[jannetie]

Don't know why I never thought to check here for the JK Jug Band - we used to go see them regularly in Philly and Cambridge. Nice to see them here - thanks!

[Reese1492]

she's such a cutie:)

[priscianusjr]

If you go to "Jug Band of 1966" you'll see the direct continuation of this, but in black and white. But alas, it's still far from complete.

[diordylan]

This isn't quite the same song as the one in "No Direction Home." The one there is "Big Fat Woman Blues," a slight variation and I would love to see the full version if anyone were to have it. :)

[commarx]

it is the same song its just that in no direction home it shows the song a few more verses in

[lanceoftheloc]

maria -- what a cutie pie!

[GohModley]

@lanceoftheloc Would you fuck her in the fartbox if she asked you to?

[oreokookie1000]

@GohModley I would...only if the fartbox was empty

[GohModley]

@oreokookie1000 If you really loved her you would regardless

[oreokookie1000]

@GohModley  Hahahahahahah!!!!...right- on!

[mondevco]

Saw them live in Provincetown "summer of 66".

Good album on Vanguard by them at that time.

Thanks for finding this!

[klarolivia]

Is this the same thing as in the film "No direction home" with Bob Dylan, by Martin Scorsese ? Don't know that is also was aviable in colours :) Nice ...

Peace

[blnpyne]

is there no complete video for this song anywhere? i really would like to see the whole thing

[KaiSebastian74]

5Sterne

[dubbedcrazy]

me too

[Drackula]

i love her

[tammieownsyou]

i need the lyrics of this song!!

[BILLJAMESON]

"Superball" by Jeff and Maria Muldaur.

[1955sex]

Anyone who knows where to find a thing they did in 69-71, he is offering her a lot of things, but she does not want it . " Gonna buy you a silver ball""I don´t need your silver ball" and so on. Does somebode know the name of the song?

[bogtrotter52]

I won't swear to it, but I believe it was called "Chevrolet"

[Youcancallmemister]

Yep, "Chevrolet", off of See Reverse Side For Title (Jim Kweskin & The Jug Band)

[Drackula]

blow me HARD!!!!!!

[leitchville]

for sure maria has it, i like her cute unique movement

[neondave]

Im in LOVE :-)

[andypandywright]

Ah Maria = if anything she looked better here than when she did oasis = andypandywright

[Snappy1943]

Garden of Joy

[smthoman]

Oooookay??

[riderNL]

Awesome. This singer is as good as Bessie Smith.

[BattleAngel]

More like Victoria Spivey! She sounds exactly like her!

[taddyd1]

let's not get carried away. she's pretty great though.

[Pgriffin87]

FANTASTIC!!! Dieuwertje agrees.

[BTLGllc]

I remember her when she was Maria D'Amato in the Even Dozen Jug Band! Fritz Richmond was always a good, solid jug player who had studied the history of the instrument.

[collegeharry]

Such innocence and optimism!It certainly was a different world.What a beautiful child she was,just like on the cover of "Waitress in the donut shop".

[sparkizoid]

she's the BEST - more, more MORE!!

[JackWarren2]

whole vid now >:-|

[bllfrog]

While in high school I wrote to Fritz Richmond, thru Vanguard, in NYC. I got a letter back from Fritz about how he played the jug. It was postmarked Cambridge, Mass., about 50 miles from where I lived. I made the pilgrimage to Cambridge and met Fritz, Jim, Bill Keith, and Maria. There were subsequent visits to Jim's place, and I saw them perform in and around Boston, and at the Newport Folk Festival, where they headlined, and introduced the first electric fiddle solo there on "I'm a Woman".

[CrazySean]

He uses vocalizations, which is what ruins this performance if you ask me.

[cotyhogue]

I LOVE this song!  Was it ever recorded on an album?

[danrose]

It was on an a Kweskin Band album,I was turned onto jug/jazz by them

[numenor27]

do you know what album this song is on?

[Snappy1943]

Garden of Joy

[ivalo]

An outstanding video. I, too, love Maria's voice and the performance as well.

[fridaycat]

THANKS. Maria has such a sweet voice..
