The Cowboy Junkies Newport Folk Festival, Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI, USA 2008 | ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST

 Newport Folk Festival, Fort Adams State Park, Newport, RI, 8-2-2008 - The Cowboy Junkies

Paul says: (edited) Here's another album from the 2008 Newport Folk Festival. This time, it's a set by the Cowboy Junkies.

As I said in my previous write-up, I'm going to try to keep these write-ups short for the festival. But since I haven't posted anything from this band before, I have to say I'd thought this band was a one-trick pony, playing all their songs in a slow, sleepy style. But I was pleasantly surprised that there was a good amount of musical variety here, and even some rocking at times.

This album is 53 minutes long.

I have edited Paul's entry here as he didn’t know Cowboy Junkies so posted info and wikipedia profile links. Unnecessary here but if you too don’t know them I really don’t know where ya bin and we have posted frequently covers songs from the band who we adore here at the Mansions

Behind The Songs : TECUMSEH VALLEY (Townes Van Zandt) Nanci Griffith & Townes Van Zandt

Echoes of the Past: When a Gentle Ballad Painted a Vivid Picture of Loss

 

The Tragic Reality Behind Townes Van Zandt’s "Tecumseh Valley"

Most listeners assume Caroline, the young woman in "Tecumseh Valley," was purely a fictional character created for a haunting folk ballad. In truth, Townes Van Zandt wrote her story based on a real person he met while hitchhiking through Oklahoma in the late 1960s—a young runaway named Caroline who was trying to support her family during desperate times.

While Van Zandt’s original 1968 recording captured raw, stark grief, this legendary version recorded live with Nanci Griffith transforms the tragic tale into an intimate, heartbreaking dialogue. Griffith’s pristine, tender vocals contrast beautifully with Van Zandt’s weathered delivery, turning a solitary narrative into a shared moment of mourning. Their organic chemistry gives the tragic heroine an almost visible presence on stage.

Which version of this classic folk masterpiece resonates more with your soul: Townes’ solitary original or this breathtaking live duet?

Ian Berry photographer 1934 - 2026 (92)

 The photographer behind Dylan’s Rough And Rowdy Ways album cover, Ian Berry, died earlier this month at the age of 92 (September 13, 2026)

When Ian received an email asking for permission to use the image, he was flattered. “I was delighted,” he says. “A record cover for Dylan is a great compliment.”

 

Berry took the photo in 1964 at a small underground club in Whitechapel, East London, while working for the Observer on a story about Black culture in Britain.

The photo shows a well-dressed couple dancing, while a man behind them looks at a jukebox.

 “I was working quickly, and in very poor light, shooting away with a 35-millimeter camera,” he says. “I knew at some point I’d have to leave because I hadn’t asked permission to be there.”

The Bootleg Series Vol. 18: Through The Open Window, 1956-1963 out now: https://bobdylan.lnk.to/Bootleg18YD

In 2006, Bob Dylan released his thirty-second studio album, Modern Times - 'Thunder On The Mountain’ 

The Inspiration: Bob Dylan stated that he decided to put her in the song after seeing her perform at the Grammy Awards, remarking to himself that there was "nothing about that girl I don't like.”

This apparently totally creeped her out but heck I'd take being mentioned in a Bob Dylan song ANY DAY of the week?!
