Never ceases to amaze me what treasures youtube can turn up.

 

Never ceases to amaze me how so many liberalized and enlightened hippy rock "song writers" of the 60s were outright F'n plagiarists of the blues. Like Alan Wilson of Canned Heat who took full credit for, and earned royalties on Thomas's song recorded back in the '28. Lead Zeppelin also plundered the Library of Congress archives and credited themselves to the tune of 100s of millions of our US$. More like Canned Theft Audio, Groping Up Our Country's Talent.

Hendrix and Dylan too. All along the Watchtower. I think Hendrix nailed it though. Are some of these songs in the public domain? Really doesn't matter who wrote it it's really about interpretation and style. It should be prominent who the author is though.

Totally agree Mike. Often a cover of a song can bring it to a contemporary audience in a whole new way. Nirvana's acoustic version of In The Pine, or Johny Cash's cover of Hurt. I thought it very poignant the author of the vid I posted called this participating in a musical conversation. I don't know the law regarding intellectual property rights and public domain, but Lead Zeppelin paid millions in settlements for accrediting themselves as the original artist, earning them huge royalties off other peoples songs. That shit ain't right.

 

Pre Napster and YouTube, the general public had no idea these recordings of old blues songs even existed. After learning how common out right plagiarism was in the 60s and 70s, it definitely tarnished the brilliant halo of my childhood hero's. Innocence lost.
