• Allen: Did you ever see Harry Smith's Folkways? Three volume, two records each, three box, two records each, American folk music? Beck: Yeah, seen it. Allen:  Ever heard it? Beck: Yeah, it's just a collection of a lot of the field recordings... Allen: But annotated, and actually a collection of his old 78s. Put together for Folkways, so it has some very early musicians. Uh, Texas Alexander, Richard "Rabbit" Brown. [sings:] things ain't now nothing like they used to be, things ain't now nothing like they used to be. I'd have a much better time but the girls now are so hard to please. I'll give you  sugar for sugar, but you'll get salt for salt. I'll give you sugar for sugar, but you'll get salt for salt. Baby you don't love me, you won't get nuthin' at all. Some time I think that you're too sweet to die, sometime I think that you're too sweet to die. Other time I think you oughta be buried alive. There's a whole great anthology. Beck:  That's what I love about the Blues. That a lot of those refrains were spread out in  a lot of different people's songs. A lot of the songs that different people have, they would take verses from different things, assemble them with.... Allen: Dylan took "Don't the moon look good shinin' through the trees" He took that from Charley Patton. Beck: Right. It's almost like you can't take those, though. They just sort of become a part of you and then they just come out. That's happened to me a few times.  I've done that a few times. This girl one time came up and said, that's from this song, and that's from Bug Spinners. It just becomes unconscious if you're playing that music long enough. • Backstage Lollapalooza AG & Beck Randall’s Island  7/29/95 photographer unknown • #Beck #allenginsberg #lollapalooza #harrysmith #charleypatton #RichardRabbitBrown #smithsonianfolkways #folkways #blues #deltablues #americanfolkmusic #folkmusic #bobdylan (at Randall's Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMUGfZBvCd/?igshid=154k3rrbza9u1
