"Killing the Blues" is by Rowland (Roly) Salley. He recorded what I consider to be the definitive version on Woodstock Mountains: Music from Mud Acres (an amazing collection that includes Pat Alger, Rory Block, Bill Keith, Jim Rooney, Eric Anderson, John Sebastian, just to name a few), but Roly's song is the standout! He also recorded it on his recent solo album, Killing the Blues. Roly is the bass player for Chris Isaak. Check out Roly doing the song at a Chris Isaak concert on KZitem.

TimMcMullen For some reason I took out my old lp of More Songs From Mudacres, which I have not listened to in several years. While listening to this great lp, I started to think back @ the many times I saw this group @ The Other End in Greenwich Village between 1977-80. Each performance seemed to get better. The one constant in each of their performances was the audiences outstanding reaction to Roly Salley's "Killing the Blues." It is great to discover that this fabulous song has been covered by so many artists. It also great to find someone who remembers the origins of this musical treasure.😀

Well Phil, I can only conclude you must (3 months ago) have been ignorant of Salley's original. The Stringer/Wilson version has nice harmonies but with his lead vocal being stronger and having to hand the melody over and sing harmony is what ruins it for me. That, and the fact that their version is virtually devoid of the true emotion within and behind the song, nope, surely NOT the best.

@longjonwhite Thanks for the tip, Longjon. Grumpy Coyote Tunes does a unique talk/sing version; quite interesting. The thing about the guitar is that it doesn't matter: this song is so good that you can finger pick it, flat pick it, strum it, play it on the banjo, the ukelele, the autoharp, a capella w/ harmonica, faster, slower, it just kills. I haven't recorded this one; I post mostly originals, except for my 3 musical lectures, but I sing this one for fun. Maybe I'll add my version sometime.

@wolfone30062 I love Shawn Colvin's work as a songwriter and an interpreter, and clearly, her work here is terrific. But just to give perspective on what a truly great song this is, it has at least 25 versions on iTunes. I downloaded all of them-i.e, the 18 I didn't already have-for a "Killing" marathon CD. Every one of them is quite listenable; most of them are extremely good; a number of them, like Shawn's, are extraordinary interpretations. How many songs can come close to that?

Did you get Chris Smither's version, which he plays in Open D tuning? In the comments under one video of Chris performing it, someone mentions that at a show they attended, Chris said he had performed it at one venue where a guy came up to him afterward and said "I don't think I've ever heard that played more to my liking." Chris thanked him, and told him "I didn't write that one, Rowland Salley did." The other guy said "I know; I'm Roly Salley." Chris told the audience he felt "high for about a week after that."

First version I saw was by someone on here who goes by the handle "Grumpy Coyote Tunes". Recommend you track it down and add to your collection. I've heard this, Allison and Rob, J.Prine and Rowly's versions since, but that amateur guy is really good. Kind Regards, Jon

@TimMcMullen Of the twenty-five versions that I have, about half are women, and probably 2/3 are using Shawn Colvin's arrangement; clearly, hers is a primary source. But check out Chris Smither's, for example, for a "finger-picker's" variation on the piece.

If you love acoustic, Americana , alt country singer/songwriters whatever the hell you wanna call it, I assume you already know of Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings if not, TREAT yourself !! If you like Shawn and Allison, Emmy Lou etc. you gotta love Gillian and David sings close harmony n plays a very cool and very different acoustic lead...
