Loudon Wainwright III - "Prince Hal`s Dirge"

[sgtstardust]

Loved it since I first heard it, summer of '75. I wonder why it is not one of my friends - all usually recognize true talent easily - not one appreciates Loudon, especially on this gem.

Is that Richard Thomson on guitar?

[pamicocci60]

One of his stranger songs...

Loved this for 30 years!!

Who said Shakespeare wasn't rock and roll? this is awesome, crackling with character and charisma, and, despite the fact that it isn't folk, is still absolutely wonderful - true rock and roll with a brilliant twist.

I do not know what the lone piano version is. This is the only version I have heard. Absolutely fantastic, and you added it on Halloween of last year and i only now found it.

Im sure you can get it as a torrent or such ;)

Glad you liked the upload as well :)

I love this version - good head-banging stuff!

[arielnic]

Whoa, never heard this version. Very epic. Not sure if I like it better than the lone piano though.

[cyphercomplete]

I have heard the piano version and I love it, but I cant find it anywhere :(

[finnygook]

It`s on his C.D. B.B.C. Sessions

[cyphercomplete]
