"Go Lightning" the Album, Session Video Four: Pretty Fair Maid, Jon Hogan String Band

www.reverbnation.com/jonhoganband This video is part of a series. The Jon Hogan String Band recorded the old-time album "Go Lightning" at Stephen Doster and Steven James' EAR Studios, Austin, Texas, Feb. 13, 2011. Videographer David Shane Duke shot much of the one-day session in which the band recorded traditional 16 songs on half-inch tape around a single ribbon mic. Jon Hogan, guitar and vocals, Maria Moss, guitar, Eric Gerber, mandolin, Sean "Cornbread" Adrews, washtub bass.

Session Video Four: "Pretty Fair Maid in Yonder Garden," Jon Hogan with Maria Maria Moss. We based our version of this tradition song on Grisby & Young's recording that appears on Smithsonian Folkways' Mountain Music of Kentucky, Vo. II.

We'll post more videos from the sessions as we kickstart fundraising for "Go Lightning"'s mastering and production and an accompanying documentary DVD.

Other videos in the "Go Lightning" series:
Session Video One: "Wildwood Flower" was the 16th song we recorded, and afterwards a celebratory jam broke out around a riff from the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army.
Session Video Two: "Country Blues," inspired by Dock Boggs' arrangement.
Session Video Three: Jon Hogan a capella, "Pretty Saro"
