Robin Holcomb - A Lazy Farmer Boy

from 52 Weeks Of Downloads by Wayne Horvitz

/

about

We end our free download series for 2015 with Lazy Farmer Boy. Arranged and performed by Robin Holcomb, this traditional American song tells the tale of a woman unsatisfied with a young man's work ethic, or lack thereof. "Single I am and will remain, but I won't maintain a lazy man."

This track comes from Robin's album "The Big Time." In the early 90's Robin made 2 albums of songs, both of which were met with incredible critical success and a small but rabid public fan base. Quite a bit later we made this third record, which frankly did not garner much attention. Ironically, over time, it has become my favorite of all of Robin's records, with the possible exception of "Larks, They Crazy" which is out of print and almost impossible to find.

I chose this today because the band is essentially Zony Mash plus Robin. In addition to Tim Young. Keith Lowe, Andy Roth and myself, special guests on this track include Danny Barnes, Bill Frisell and Eyvind Kang. Danny sings some great backup here and the whole track makes me smile. Tucker Martine engineered and mixed and we produced the entire album together.

Zony Mash nor The Robin Holcomb Band make many public appearances as of late, but we always try to do something in the New Year. It's a good time for Tim Young to come up from L.A., and recently it has become a bit of a tradition.

No exception this year. If you are in Seattle please join us January 1st and 2nd at the Royal Room.
