"The Bells of Rhymney" was first recorded by Pete Seeger. Seeger wrote the music to accompany the words of Welsh poet Idris Davies commemorating the coal mine disaster in Wales in 1926. The Byrds recorded the song in 1965 and gave it their own unique pop/rock flavor which influenced the California rock sound of the '60s. Echo in the Canyon is a documentary about the evolving music industry in LA's Laurel Canyon during that era. Jakob Dylan offers a fine rendition of the song.
