Mickey Newbury is a songwriter most famous for a song he arranged, but did not write. One night in Los Angeles, at a time of national distress over war and race issues in the U.S.A., Newbury spontaneously combined a southern anthem (written by a northerner), a northern anthem (written by a southerner), and an old African healing song. In the audience that night were many celebrities, Odetta, Kristofferson and Streisand among them. The trio of songs brought tears to Odetta's eyes. It came to be called An American Trilogy, and would be adopted by Elvis Presley as the centerpiece of his later concerts. This clip is an extra from LIVE AT THE HERMITAGE, the new Mickey Newbury DVD, and features Marie Rhines on violin. The clip is uploaded with the permission of the Newbury family, and the DVD is available in the cd store at www.mickeynewbury.com

I grew up on this song in Louisiana -- it was the sign off every night on KNOE tv, Monroe...I was in high school, and it's stuck with me since...it was so good to find it here. This song is the spirit of ol' Dixie, as was Mickey.
This is so Nice...! Regarding Tom who's 38 and tomthefunky.....IF you can still locate a CD of Mickey's album...."Frisco Mabel Joy".....in this one song...an orchestra of Violins come to life ...as Mickey sings his Trilogy. Later in the song...a number of other instruments enter the song and when played through a decent sound system.....it will blow you away...! I promise.
