wow love the acustic. hahahha ive totally fallen in love with the song "barbara allen" ive listened to so many versions of this song. Your voice reminds me of the Old English people that origanally sang this song. i love it
The rhythm is amazing too. Could you forward me the tabs/Chords (proteomania at hot mail)? Thanks in advance. Look forward to watching more Meloy covers from you.
Very impressive! I quite liked this (and your version of Odalisque). I hope you cover more Colin/Decemberists music. He's my absolute favorite, and you certainly do his songs justice.
Hey first off- GREAT job on the song. i am a fellow decemberists junkie, so i really like this. i have been desperately searching for Colins lyrics (since every version seems to have its own) and the chords he uses. was there an actual site that you found how to play this or did you do it by ear?
I did it by ear and I play it a step higher than he does, but I did write out the lyrics with the chords. If you want to send me a message I could email them to you.
that was really good. I just hope you know that Shirely Collins did it first. GO COLLIN MELOY!! Check out Wonder, on his solo disc, its one of the sweetest song this guy ever wrote, about his baby!
Beautifully done! I love the pureness and simplicity of your performance. This is a classic case of "less is more." Just excellent singing and guitar playing. You could be a modern day troubadour.
good job! I like it a lot. I've been looking around for a good way to play it, and I never thought of the capo on the 5th fret. i really like your voice as well. :)
Its really good...but I wish the sound of your voice was louder, or the guitar sound was lower...but I really loved the cover!

It's not a Shirley Collins song. It's origins are actually pretty mysterious and interesting.
You play beautifully.

Good job, I like Meloy's version and I think you do a good job with it.
My personal favorite is still Pete Seeger though, how about you?

You have a fantastic voice.
My concert choir is singing a different version of this for our autumn concert this year.
I honestly like this version quite a bit better, it has more to it.
