Nice job, BUT.....

LONE PILGRIM is NOT from Bob Dylan's World Gone Wrong or any other of his albums. It's from the Watson family, the Carter family, tons of gospel groups, countless shaped note choirs, etc., etc.

Sorry, just tired of seeing filthy rich mega-celebrities/gods like Dylan and Clapton getting credit for stuff that didn't originate with them, AND tired of seeing great traditional music that otherwise would've been ignored by you "validated" by the likes of Dylan or Clapton.

Ok, glad you let it out, but I do Bob Dylan covers and this is "Lone Pilgrim from Bob Dylan's World Gone Wrong"

@canine2 Dylan gives FULL credit to Doc Watson in his liner notes to World Gone Wrong and explains the history as well. His version is BETTER because it is not traditional but combiens the traditional with Dylans Life experience. He did it in OEN take alone in his garage. And you bitch that he is a god. Well HE IS. Live with it..he has to and he doesnt like it ..but he is what he is. So get over puttign him down .

@canine2

Your so edgy, bro.

This is what Dylan wrote in his album notes for World Gone Wrong:

"LONE PILGRIM is from an old Doc Watson record. What attracts me to the song is how the lunacy of trying to fool the self is set aside at some point. Salvation & the needs of mankind are prominent & hegemony takes a breathing spell. 'My soul flew to mansions on high' - what's essentially true is virtual reality. Technology to wipe out reality is now available. When the cost comes down, there won't be songs like these any more."

good performance,young man

[goran586]

The tune is basically the same as a variant of the Scots air "The Braes of Baldquidder", which the poet Robert Burns took for his song "Bonie Peggy Alison", first published in 1788.

[goran586]

According to Sean Wilentz, Professor of History at Princeton University, the lyrics date back to 1838 and is a poem written by Brother John Ellis called "The White Pilgrim". He wrote the poem after he visited the grave of Joseph Thomas. The tune first appeared in "Indian Melodies" by Thomas Commuck. The song later appeared both in "The Sacred Harp" and in "The Southern Harmony" and was then claimed to be written by Benjamin Franklin White and William Walker.

Truly, not a bad cover of Dylan doing a cover. It came out of the Sacred Harp hymnal used in the South for many years, but was called The Lone Pilgrim. You do it quite nicely with the proper understated singing. And you might as well do it like Dylan if he has already done the song, because chances are it won't be done any better. A song about Death with a deer head on the wall..nice irony, for me anyways. Sean Wilentz has a book soon with some on this song. May get you alot more hits here

@canine2 Lone Pilgrim was written by my wife's great uncle

Adger Pace who's songs fill many hymnals from the 20's&30's
