"Dick Fariña & Eric von Schmidt" 1963
Vinyl RIP by Jhonny #4
Surfando na Internet achei esta preciosa gravação do (já falecido) porém, grandioso poeta, cantor, escritor e "Dulcimer player" Richard Farina em trabalho conjunto com o cantor de Blues e desenhista de capas de discos Eric Von Schmidt. Raízes da Folk Music, Blues, Instrumental em dulcimer são os ingredientes deste clássico da música folk gravado em 1963 e que segundo a lenda contou com a participação instrumental de Bob Dylan sob o pseudônimo de Blind Boy Grunt.
No mesmo site, logo abaixo, esta o disco que também nunca foi editado em CD - Take Heart da cantora Mimi Farina em dueto com Tom Jans.
O site possui outras raridades que nunca foram lançadas em Cd, ripadas de discos de vinil, aclamado por revistas do gênero musical como a "Roling Stones".

his was an impromptu recording made in London on January 14 and 15, 1963. Joining Fariña and von Schmidt were Ethan Signer (of the Charles River Valley Boys) on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, and occasionally Blind Boy Grunt. Blind Boy Grunt was of course the pseudonym of Bob Dylan, whose Columbia contract prevented his real name from appearing on the album.
This is a crude, one-track, one-microphone recording, and although it is an enjoyable collection of American folk songs, it's quite a stretch from the unique style that Fariña later developed with Mimi. It doesn't offer any great revelations into Fariña's art or vision, but it does provide some early samples of his dulcimer playing, which is featured on "Old Joe's Dulcimer," "Wildwood Flower," and "Lonzo N'Howard," and less prominently in "London Waltz." Fariña sings lead vocal on "Wobble Bird," and "XMas Island" and unaccompanied vocal on "Riddle Song." He contributes back-up vocals and harmonica on other tracks. Fariña gives himself a writing credit for "XMas Island" and "London Waltz," but ironically these are two of the most negligible tracks. The most interesting songs for Richard & Mimi fans are the medley "Old Joe's Dulcimer," which is a forerunner of "Celebration for a Grey Day," and "Wobble Bird," which is an adaptation of "The Cuckoo," upon which "The Falcon" was based. His alteration of the lyrics in "Riddle Song" also gives a foretaste of his creative adaptation of traditional tunes. Another interesting connection with later work is "Stick With Me, Baby" (an adaptation of Furry Lewis' "Dry Land Blues"), which includes the lyrics,
"I been down so long, seem like up to me,
Gal of mine got a heart like a rock in the sea"
But, again ironically, it is Eric von Schmidt who sings this song. In fact, the songs featuring Eric solo or prominently are the most professional-sounding tracks!
Dylan fans should be advised that Bob's contributions are minimal, and his presence on the record really cannot be felt in any significant way. He supplied back-up vocals and/or harmonica on four tracks: "Glory, Glory," "Overseas Stomp," "Xmas Island," and "Cocaine."

Realmente um achado e tanto.
Fico imaginando quanta coisa escondida e perdida existe ainda por aí, esperando por nós.
Abraços
Sieg.
