I remember this song on the JH dvd I had circa 2002. It's hard to believe this was once the world and we are at where we are at now in 2022. I suppose 20 years is a long time but time has flown. Be nice to go back.
It really doesn't get much better than this! I caught the end of this performance on Jools Holland years ago and finally tried googling the song... What a reward to find the very clip I had seen originally! Thank you so much for posting. I was brought up on the Bing Crosby and Bix Beiderbeck version so knew the song well already.
so heartbroken to learn now of Norma Waterson's death back in January... I enjoyed all the Waterson's music and was lucky to catch Norma, Martin and Liza in a town hall concert a few years back in the U.S....and the others in concert here as well at various performances through the past few years (and decades).
norma sang this on her first solo album, but there's an even better acapella version by her and eliza, that long remained unreleased until it saw the light of day in 2004 on a watersons' four disc career retrospective box set.
Don't know ho the drummer is, but the others are Martin Carthy on rhythm guitar, Eliza Carthy (Norma and Martin's daughter) on vocals, Richard Thompson on guitar, and Danny Thompson on bass. Recorded in 1996, and released on the DVD "10 Years of Later... 30 Great Live Performances" (2002).
The song was written by Fred Fisher in the 1920's (recorded by Paul Whiteman Orchestra in 1928), and the full title is "There Ain't No Sweet Man That's Worth the Salt of My Tears".
And a few weeks later I find myself back here to say RIP Norma. Much loved never forgotten🎶🎷♥️
Cathy, Watersons, Mattacks, Thompson AND Danny Thompson! It's the dream band right there
Very sad to hear that Norma died yesterday. A wonderful singer. My thoughts are with Martin, Eliza and all her family and friends.

'the hot club' comes to jools , what great musicians melding together effortlessly , stunning live performance .
RT's solo! Played standing, too! I think that even the great Rheinhardt would have said, "My hat's off to you".
Wow, what a gathering on stage!! Thanks Norma :)
Marvellous. Great musicians all.
shivers and goosebumps!
R.I.P. Norma - lucky enough to see her in concert years ago. She was wonderful!
Dave Mattacks on drums...long-time with Fairport, recorded and toured with RT, Tull and many others.
Stalwarts of the British Folk-scene.

Magic from beginning to end.
This is a super group! Interesting to hear the song with RT's gypsy-jazz solo.
I like the fact that Dave Mattacks had an early mention. What a great lineup! Dearest Norma, sorely missed.

Drummer is Dave Mattacks.
Check his Wiki, amazing list of credits, Fairport Convention, Brian Eno, Paul McCartney, Harrison, XTC, Elton John.... and many more
