Product Description

The Long Black Veil is a country ballad written in 1959 by songwriters Danny Dill (1924-2008) and "The Den Mother of Music Row," Marijohn Wilkin (1920-2006).  Its been covered by a plethora of artists from Johnny Cash to Mick Jagger (accompanied by The Chieftains), but arguably the most well-known version was recorded by country music legend Lefty Frizzell.  It was selected by the Library of Congress in 2019 for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance.  Frizzells version moves at the shuffling clip-clop of a horses hooves-as is the style of his genre-but I wanted to turn it into something that soars a bit more; something that frames the faceless, mourning woman standing in a bracing wind.
