The NEW Quintet | "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me" (Traditional)

Here's an old folk tune originally titled "I've Been All Around This World" that first popped up in the Blue Ridge Mountains around the turn of the century. After several appearances in the Cohen Brothers film "Inside Llewyn Davis", the song had a re-birth both in the traditional and contemporary styles, the latter of which was provided by Dave Van Ronk, who the film was loosely based on, and whom this version comes from.

Bio:
Honoring the songs and styles that have shaped our country from Traditional Folk to Ragtime, Old-Time and Early Country, The NEW Quintet features storyteller and musicologist Nicholas Edward Williams (Guitar, Vocals), Emma Dubose (Fiddle, Vocals), Jade Watts (Upright Bass, Vocals), Gordon Inman (Clarinet) and Cody Ray (Guitar, Lap Steel). The ensemble dynamically weaves big harmonies, ancient melodies and lush textures on a fabric of both original and reimagined traditional material - with an old-timey flair. Since forming in 2020 while making Williams' critically acclaimed release Folk Songs For Old Times' Sake, which has been heralded by well-regarded figures of the roots community such as David Holt, Oliver Wood, Dom Flemons, and JP Harris, The NEW Quintet has been on stages throughout the Southeast at festivals, concert series, listening rooms and theaters, and will be unveiling their first release in late 2023.
