5. The Strongest Man Alive / Maydelle's Reel / Jenny's Chickens (David Bromberg Band)
Track 5: 5:07 (medley)
From David's liner notes:
"The first part of what I guess is a medley is an old English drinking song that I wrote. Well, I wrote it and it sounds like an old English drinking song. We took the title of the CD from the lyrics, which are the best I can write. To get the right harmonies I asked John Roberts and Tony Barrand...The sung part is followed by “Maydelle’s Reel,” which sounds quite English, but was also written by an American, Kelly Lancaster. The last tune is called “Jenny’s Chickens.” It is a genuine traditional Irish tune, one of the first I ever learned on the fiddle.
