Cold Missouri Waters by James Keelaghan

A beautifully written song from a confessional point of view about a terrible fire that broke out in Mann Gulch, North Montana in 1949. The subject in the song, a guy named Dodge, survived the fire only to die a few years later from Hodgkin's Disease. I learned this version from the amazing Richard Shindell.

i love richard shindelle too but this song is actually written by James Keelaghan and if you haven't heard his recording of it you really should. It's amazing!

Great sounds!

Thank you for posting your fine rendition of this classic song. I first heard this sung by Richard Shindell with Cry Cry Cry, and I like your interpretation *very much*, too. (Would like hear JK's sometime, too.) Keep up the fine playing and singing!
