Bottle It Up and Go

Bottle It Up and Go
(da Wikipedia )

*Note: (Bluebird insert notes by M.K. Aldin)
(Brief & condensed) notes about this song)

Big Bill Broonzy told Tommy not to use the 'n' word.
But he got mad at Bill and said, 'Hell no, I'll never change my song'. Big Bill said he knew Tommy was right, the way he felt about it because he had sang the same words in another song of his
Before Tommy was born but knew better than to do it in the North...
The next night Big Bill took Tommy to a party, Tommy sang his version of 'Bottle It Up And Go.' The song flopped and Big Bill had to put Tommy out the window and they ran 5 miles to one of Big Bill's friend's house.

L'origine è irlandese e il periodo "La guerra dei Trent'anni". Della stessa epoca ne esistono versioni in Inghilterra mentre quelle americane sono successive e, ad ogni modo, erano conosciute solamente all'interno delle comunità irlandesi. Il Folk Revival americano l'ha riscoperta attorno al 1950 ed è diventata immediatamente e ovviamente un efficace inno di protesta contro ogni tipo di guerra. In Irlanda i primi ad interpretarla furono Peg (e Bob) Clangy, Robin Roberts e i Dubliners, in Inghilterra Pete Castle e Timothy Walsh, negli USA Ed McCurdy, Burl Ives, Pete Seeger in studio e anche dal vivo con Big Bill Broonzy. Io, la prima volta che l'ho ascoltata fu dalla, ancora a tutt'oggi, emozionanti voci del povero Tim Hart e della sua allora compagna Maddy Prior.
