The Ballad Of Pretty Boy Floyd

[PhenomAnge]

I've been doing a lot of research on PBF lately. My great grandpa, from Kansas City, Missouri looked so much like Pretty Boy Floyd that he was caught up in his car in the middle of a four way intersection by the police all armed with machine guns. He had to get out with his hands up trying to explain that he was not Pretty Boy Floyd. Scary but cool story in my family.

Great song - sung very well. A friend Kevin Beggan used to sing this in our band. He really used to put passion into it. Wish he's still sing - alas a stroke renders that a long shot.

But I really enjoy this version - Thanks.

@pfiddle Thanks for the kind words. I am glad the song brings back good memories.

Excellent recording! It's a nice tune, and this doesn't sound scratchy like the actual woody Guthrie versions I found.

[Supermax1777]

Most respectable cover! One of the classic Woody tunes.

Your machine kills Fascists, too, right?

Great song, excellent version. Thanks for posting.

Good, but don't think that's Woodie.

[TracyFClark]

@brantlymurphy225 It's not Woody it's me the owner of the channel covering the tune. Thanks for listening though!

”Pretty Boy Floyd” en sang Woody skrev i mars 1939 og handler om den amerikanske bankrøveren Charles Arthur ”Pretty Boy” Floyd født 3. februar 1904 i Georgia men vokste opp i Oklahoma og begynte sin kriminelle løpebane som 18 åring da han stjal 3, 50 dollar fra et lokalt postkontor ifølge Time Magazine. 22. oktober 1934 ble Floyd drept i en kornåker nær East Liverpool i Ohio etter å ha blitt forfulgt lokalt politi og FBI agenter ledet av Melvin Purvis.

Good cover, but it should say in the title that it's a cover because when I clicked I thought it was the original.

[coolanddark]

Nice cover of one of Woodys masterpieces!!
