    Overwhelming sweet sorrow of America's muddy River core. For every miner, for every riverboatman, for every steel mill worker...the last train. God Bless Tony & Norman, living legends of Musical America.

    Absolutely my favorite version of this song....by a long shot. Can't any better than these two playing guitar together and Norman's haunting voice. Brilliant

    Gracious.
    This is Blake leading Master Rice through his masterpiece. Damn, I wish i had heard this in person. I'd heard them other times together in the late 80s and 90s.
    Classic, like no other

    What a sigh of a song. . . I have felt drawn to southern appalachia for a long time now, and I see that there is a certain sadness there. Maybe its these memories lingering in the hills: How could man have done this to me? Whilst the men ask, "how could this have happened to us?" 0:39 really hits me hard.

      john kotab. This past November 2021, I was layed up in a hospital for 10 long days awaiting and recovering from a heart surgery proceedure. I was depressed and bored beyong belief. If it wasn't for the music of Norman and Tony, many other musicians of all genre, I would have lost my mind. I had this one nurse than I almost fell in love with while in hospital and shared many tune cuts with her. She was very kind and personable with me. I related how Norman had spent 10 days in hospital recovering from a surgery as well. She empathized with my dispair, I believe. I most likely will never see this lady again while I am above ground, but we shared a rare few minutes during my stay. When I was preparing to leave, I kissed her hands and with a small tear in her eye, she wished me well. This music touches my soul.
