Twenty-One Long Black Veils
Artists Interpret Dill & Wilkins American Classic
Just as Roseanne Cash said, there would be no American Roots music as we know it today,
without this song. Thanks to Lefty Frizell for getting it started, many
great artists have tackled this one. These are among the best. From legends to
relative unknowns, each artist lends their own intuition to the heartbreaker
that helped frame the future of Country, Americana, and even Rock'n'Roll. Enjoy!
