Dave Allen, Henry Lee, 2007 |
|
1. HENRY LEE BY DICK JUSTICE, 1932 REMIX: DAVE ALLEN, HENRY LEE, 2007 Folk music scholar Francis James Childs catalogued 205 Anglo and Anglo-American Ballads, giving each a number for his classic 1896 anthology ‘The English and Scottish Popular Ballads’. This song is often known as ‘Young Hunting’ or ‘Child ballad number 68’. Allen has collected lyrics from the connected Scottish tracks that comprise the series of ballads that ‘Henry Lee’ is part of, overlaying and interlocking the lines as they radiate, as if beams of light. Dave Allen currently lives and works in Berlin, where he co-edits the Berlin art fanzine ‘Neue Review’ and plays in the Berlin-based pop band ‘Dominique’. Allen's work is primarily based on the myths and realities of popular music, with respect to personal identity, culture and creativity. |
