Single Girl
from Guitar Emporium Hosted by Richard
Like lots of school age bands we used others songs to start our own attempts. I've re-recorded this version as I remember it - sitting on the piano in the drama room . The lyrics are taken from “Single Girl, Married Girl” - a 1928 folk song by the Carter Family highlighting the contrasting lives of single and married women in early 20th-century Appalachia. The song was recorded by the Carter Family on August 2, 1927, in Bristol, Tennessee, and released in January 1928 on Victor Records as the a-side of Victor 20937 Wikipedia. It was performed as a duet with Sara Carter on autoharp and Maybelle Carter on lead guitar, without A.P. Carter Wikipedia +1. A slower re-recording was made in 1935, reflecting Sara Carter’s lower vocal pitch and a more contemplative tempo Wikipedia. The song was later included in Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music, Vol. 3, cementing its place in folk music history Support the show
