stuart estell Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I thought I'd recorded quite enough covers lately, so decided it was time to dig out something traditional. I plumped for Jack O' Diamonds, which I've been working up for a song session next week. I started out playing the whole arrangement of this on box, but it seemed to want a countryish guitar part... so the Maccann duet was relegated to pootling around on a melodic line in the background! The recording is on my website here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play it on guitar back in the 60s trying to imitate the Peter, Paul, and Mary version I remember at the time. Your concertna gives the tune a nice "lament" kind of sound that the lyrics call for. Nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Drinkwater Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 And then there's The Fairport Convention's version of it on their first LP, "Fairport Convention", released in 1968 and featuring my late cousin Martin Lamble on drums.
