The musicians include Mike Auldridge (Dobro), Casey Dreissen (violin), Fats Kaplan (fiddle and steel), Tim O'Brien (banjo and fiddle), and many more of acoustic music's finest artists.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Hangtown Dancehall' is the story of two young lovers, Betsy and Ike, who leave their Missouri home for California during the Gold Rush. Brace first met the two characters in the folk song 'Sweet Betsy From Pike' that he heard in his childhood in Placerville, California, the epicenter of the Gold Rush, known in the 1850s as Hangtown. That old song tells the story of Betsy and Ike's trek by wagon train across the continent. The song's final verses tell of their arrival in Hangtown but Brace decided that though that's the end of the song, it wasn't the end of the tale. With 'Hangtown Dancehall,' Brace and Straub tell the rest of Betsy and Ike's story.\u003cp\u003eSweet Betsy From Pike\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePretty Girl In Missouri\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGone To California\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Dorado Two-Step\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf You Don't Know Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfternoons Gone Blind\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCome Back, Isaac\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Pearl River To Gold Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarshall's Reel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmile And A Little Skin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth, Precious And Rare\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing Midas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHangtown Fry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath In Hangtown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLife Story (with Umbrellas)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePike County Rose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Know A Bird\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet Betsy From Pike\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHanging Tree\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Many Miles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSong For Walter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEl Dorado Farewell\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55175756939649,"sku":"545212","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41stDZb1TOL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768163561","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/545212","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
