Molly Tuttle "Gentle On My Mind"

Thank you, my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Molly Tuttle performing a cover of the classic ballad "Gentle On My Mind" at Music City Roots Live From The Factory on October 15, 2015
As our friend LTC Stephen C. already mentioned this wonderful song was written by John Hartford which Glenn Campbell transformed into a hit.
Thank you for mentioning me, my friend TSgt Joe C.

This is an excellent cover. However i still prefer the original.

"Gentle On My Mind" written by John Hartford
Lyrics
"It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line

That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find

That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
My beard a roughening coal pile,
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

That you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind"

Excellent cover, CW5 Jack Cardwell! Molly is an excellent guitarist and her accompanists are excellent musicians as well. However, I noticed that she substantially increased the tempo of the song when compared to Glenn Campbell’s hit version and composer John Hartford’s rendition.

A nice tune to begin the day!
