‘Sing My Heart Away’ is on “John Stewart
and Buffy Ford Live at the Turf Inn, Scotland”, Folk Era, 1996 (originally on Feegie,
1995, I think).
The concert was recorded 4 November, 1994.
This is a very nice song, not too difficult to play.
Sounds extra good with more than one voice.
Boudleaux is Boudleaux Bryant, who, together with his wife Felice,
penned many of the Everly Brothers big
hits.
