It's a lovely story the way it's told. Here we have Charlie Waller, Jon Duffey, Eddie Adcock and Tom Gray. You can't get more excellent than that. Two of them are gone from the planet. What a great thing YouTube is to allow us to see this now.
Listening to such great material as this on this presentation is frustrating for me because the bass response is racked up so high that I can't hear any details. This is a common problem on U Tube, but I wish more posters would realize that not everyone is listening through lap tops with no additional speakers. I'll keep tuning in with thanks though because the music itself is wonderful and hard to find; hoping to work in my own tone controls eventually.
this song has a bit of occult in it! I was first thinking it was like a catholic priests dream but then it's actually a scary story. pretty unique song. thanks for sharing.
they had both recorded it at different times under different versions of the Country Gentlemen. Duffy is credited for writing this song and also "I've come to bring you home" the sequel version....
When I was little my father and I would sing this for friends and relatives. It wasn't until I was older that I realized what the song meant. But still, to this day, when I hear the song it reminds me of my father.
Brings back memories of when I was a little girl back in the late 60's early70's. My dad you to take our family to bluegrass festivals. I remember hearing this song alot......
Who is it playing bass on this, Tom Gray? It must have been wild times with Adcock and Duffy in the same group. That was a great group, although I like the lineup with Lawson, Emerson and Yates the best.
@stellingbanjos I have it on VHS. I was there and bought the video. If you still haven't gotten a copy of the whole video, let me know. I'm in Charlottesville.
Their bus even had Bringing Mary Home written on it! Wonderful group, great sound!
