A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.
Great song. The tune reminds me a bit of "House of the Rising Sun", which can be traced back to the Appalachian area in the early 1900's (Alan Price of the Animals has claimed that the song was originally a sixteenth-century English folk song about a Soho brothel, and that English emigrants took the song to America where it was adapted to its later New Orleans setting.) Cool piece and well done!

Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel.
I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)
I just left this on repeat for the last hour
There's a wonderful melancholy to it that sits nicely with the optimistic trotting horse of the music
I love this!
Dang, everyone except Rob (and Laura) (and me) liked the previous version! (Cupid's Own Knife)
Only i did this with the lyrics so maybe one can be a bonus track ...
aargghh ... why didn't i write a *different* song?
i just went and re-read what you wrote at RPM, Rob/Laura and I must apologise - you actually said you like it - i didn't though, so i re-recorded, but then it felt like me against the world lol
ANd now guess what - i listened to the first one again and it sounds OK to me too. Aaaarrggghhh again. :-)
Weird how my mind plays tricks on me

This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
Love is a slippery beast.
Just when you think you've got a firm hold of it, it squirts out of your hands like a piece of wet soap and ends up somewhere in India on a spiritual quest for an obscure guru.
better than i expected from your write up lol
this is pretty smooth and i think i might have to fave it
i'll hold off for a few minutes though to make sure i'm not just ab-reacting
This is the finished version of Iris Florentine. The acoustic version is still up, though...

Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.

Just ducky Mr. Gumbo. I love it!!
From the samples I've been listening too, DB was a monster banjo picker, among other things.
:) A fun big kid's tune as well. Hightail it Bunny...
R.I.P Dock!
thanks guys kavin. - there's a good Folkways collection of Boggs' 60s recordings and you can hear a few of his 78rpm sides at the Archive.org
Just goes to show you can't trust some people. Ha! It's a great song with the special Gumbo treatment.
Most enchanting Gumbo. Our little ladies will like this one too.
Sister Savage Said.... I hope Bunny pulls out a handgrenade and smashes the lot of them. Nice track! ME.. *GASP* hehe
I know I hate it when I run out of hot fiddle.
Thanks for resurrecting this tune. Well done. Will have to look up some more of Boggs' work.
Very cool! Love the harp breaks!
Like it.. Go Bunny!
Smashing cover! Great harmonies GUUUUMBOOOOO!!!!!
I hope Bunny pulls out a handgrenade and smashes the lot of them. Nice track!
Love the sparseness to this. Simple but very effective. This has a classic feel to it. Well done!
Very smooth, very interesting.
Awesome.
Iron Angel is a great grizzly blacksmith man who would probably love that you covered his tune and such a great job you did doing so.

Thanks Gary - now read the about blurb that i just posted lol
Pretty slick!
Fun!
Cool - very Green World.
Very Nice Mr Choirvey! Love the shifts within it.
My partner just asked if this was Antony and the Johnsons, which I take as a fine compliment so I'm passing it on. Beautiful track.
Groovy track. Builds nicely And five stars for the written introduction! That's so true!
Heavenly Heartbreak, Batman! What a melter! Poo-Pa-Doo, baby.
Good stuff Sandy! And thanks for the comments.
