brother can you spare a dime? ronnie lane's slim chance

[wwwonderful]

Single Saddle, please :-)

[Nighthawkx15]

Thanks you for this as we are going back to the 1930's it fits so well

[MauriceJudge1]

Guitar solo a bit jarring considering all the other more 'period' styling

[Nighthawkx15]

Utterly excellent many thanks for this

[ThePeaceableKingdom]

Oh it's great to discover this on YouTube. I bought the CD of Ronnie Lane' s Slim Chance but it didn't include this song like the old vinyl copy of the album did. (It included a couple of songs, "I am just a Country Boy" and "Single Saddle", that weren't on my old vinyl LP) But I always liked this song, this version, and missed it - since my old LP is long gone. Many, many thanks!

@ThePeaceableKingdom I had the same album - heard it was a promo, and sold out fast, then the re-make left of this song. Still have mine.

[ThePeaceableKingdom]

@slimtone00 Thanks for the info. That makes sense, too. I never saw the album again. That's why I was so happy about finding the CD. Even without this song it's very good, but I missed having this. (Though I do have him doing an acoustic version of this song years later with Alejandro Escovedo and his band on our local NPR station...)

[nevetsnolog]

very decent indeed



[willgonow]

Ronnie Lane never released a bad tune, just some were better than others. This is one of the best!

[Schneider10101]

Not the best version of this particular song, but it's fucking great!

[robert4jc]

Very nice!

[nastynigel]

wow this is gorgeous...god bless ronnie lane

[iaingame]

My copy is damaged been looking for a copy for ages, its great to hear it again

[sicknomorerecords]

wow, its years since I heard this. There is a dusty copy around the house someplace.

I wrote to ronnie when the circus thing started as i wanted to join. I was 14.

Anyone remember a show at victoria palace?

[knobstick]

Blimey, I've wanted to hear this again since it came out - one of those I should've got a copy of at the time and didn't, so thank you so much for putting this on youtube!

Going to go and search for 'Long, Long Story' by Eddie Howell now, if I can find that life wil be good indeed!

[drawdem]

Sorry, but this one is sung without much emotion. Flat.

[HARRYMAN2767]

ronie lane is the best

[dretety]

This was recorded especially for a documentary.

It was released as a single in the uk with "lovely" as the flip side, but was included on a us release album that was an extended version of this, the single.

[nastynigel]

wow, didn't know ronnie recorded this...what a lovely vocal...wonderful stuff

[raycov]

[snackleforkofemir]

[snackleforkofemir]
