Loudon Wainwright - Roll in my sweet baby's arms

From 1974. As far as I know, this song has never been recorded on an album.

Loudon releases his first ever box set on May 3rd 2011, and it also includes his first ever DVD with over three hours of video.

This song is included. From Loudon Wainwright at the BBC..

Do you know if this is from one of the Transatlantic Sessions Series recordings?

[homelessbrother]

@gjtaylor99 I very much doubt it. The Transatlantic Sessions is a very recent series, whereas this is a 1974 clip from MacLeod at Large, a 1970s scottish series. The late Donny MacLeod who appears in the clip (eg at 2.32) was also a much loved presenter for many years of Pebble Mill at One, a daytime show with interviews and musical guests.

I have to thank you very much, i have been a fan of your channel for a long time. Loudon has literlly changed my life with his music over the last 2 or 3 years now listening to him. Is it just me or does anybody else wonder why the hell is'nt he more well known??? I have wanted to hear this song for a long time because its at the start of ''Unrequited'' and you only get the end of it!! :) anyway thanks again

It does have a similar feel to The Transatlantic Sessions. Reminds me of some of the footage from Heartworn Highways which was made around this period of time. Nice post.
