In 1970, Kris, Waylon, Mick Jagger, and I sang some wonderful songs, written by Shel Silverstein, for the soundtrack of Mick Jagger’s movie “Ned Kelly”…. This is me singing the title track with Mickey Newbury whistling in the background…

I started writing because so many people were singing the same songs. You had this thing that happened – the great folk scare of the 60s – and you had all these people … and certain records that got real big real quick …..
I didn’t wanna be singing the same thing that everyone else was singing so I started writing my own songs and this ridiculous thing happened – other people started singing my songs so I had to keep writing more songs so I wasn’t singing what everyone else was singing.

This is the song that got me out of the basket houses five years before Shel Silverstein brought Kris to hear me in Greenwich Village..
