Alvin Youngblood Hart on Fog Town Network--Gallows Pole



Uploaded by: apfogtown
Video Description:
When listening to the young Alvin Youngblood Hart, the word authenticity comes to mind. In this offering of "Gallows Pole" (or "Gallis Pole", as Leadbelly recorded it), he gives voice to the condemned. His lament seems to absorb its misery from centuries-old celtic oppression and funnel it through the African-American experience on this continent. Even now the gallows are with us--as the thousands who viewed Saddam's end right here on YouTube can attest. From FTN#34 in 1995.

Thank you for posting this. The amazing thing about AYBH is the way his conviction and understanding of this music is so powerful it can even translate to some white boy from the mid-west. He broke my heart with this one and I thank him for it.

He's awesome man, awesome! To the guy below, I think he's tuned standard, bouncin' between A and D, the chuggin' stuff is an E for the verses. Good luck...
It's standard ... ( 1 year ago by walrus108)
It's standard tuning 2 whole steps down. C,F,A#,D#,G,C. I got that from the horses mouth too. He even allowed me to play his 12 string that day. This is the way ALL 12s were tuned before the 60's jangly sound came into style. Leadbelly played it about the same but tuned 1/2 step lower (B) than Alvin usually does. He's a great guy and someone you MUST SEE ASAP. You can find tab for this in one of the Leadbelly books.

This is so authentic it sounds like it was done in 1926.
This man is SO damn talented. He should've been invited to appear at Clapton's "Crossroads' Festival. He should be a household name.
So great to see young black guys like him, Kirk Fletcher & Corey Harris go back to Blues.
It's the ONLY music that is vibrantly alive.

By far my friend..by far.
Alvin has got the 'gift'.
It's rarely found these days whilst the media attributes accolades on talentless "posers".
This guy is for REAL.
Just loved his song "Manos Arriba" from a few yrs back.
Lyrics were profound on it.(i've found myself a few times in the same position od mistaken identity as Alvin on that song)
Fucking great!!! ( 3 days ago by atrogss)
