I've seen an all-Chinese band from Beijing called 'The Timely Band' do this song in 1988-89 and did very well and very animated with strong rhythm section including drums worthy of a country dance hall.
BETSY is so sweet in her humble personality when performing, but not to confuse her singing that is actually very nice because of her melodic voice that comes with a gentle mellow tremolo that can easily be accepted to anyone's hearing... BETSY, don't stop your singing for you bring pleasure to people...
How 'bout that? Blue grass music from China. That was a beautiful performance by the singer and blue grass band. Singer has a nice calm soft voice. You all make Hank Williams proud. Thank you very much for sharing.
Well that was fun. I really enjoyed their version of this Hank Williams classic. I didn't know what an erhu is until now, but I liked its sound and the talent it takes to play this instrument. Everything was just great. Double-thumbs up to this group.
I loved it but wish I could have seen some smiles knowing they were enjoying making the music as much as I was enjoying listening to it. Did love the erhu too! Added a really nice touch.
@@ericshi2472 Too solemn, a little smile from time to time, feel the music, feel what you sing and it will be perfect, good job, sorry for my constructive criticism.
Completely blown away. I grew up on Bluegrass and old school country. You folks are terrific. Wonderful blending of traditional bluegrass instruments with ethnic instruments. Loved every note and lyric!!
Nicely done, guys. I loved the banjo breaks blending in some melodic picking. I also enjoyed the erhu being used in place of a traditional fiddle. Creative and excellent!
It's propaganda. Just look at their faces. China trying to show they are better than us at our own culture. Too bad they totally missed the point of bluegrass being raw an unhinged. Respect to the lady on the Uhru thing tho.
im 80 years old been listening to country r/roll sinatra this group is just fab.great lead voice the sounds that fiddle player got were magical.will watch out for more.
I grew up on country and blue grass music, and I love this. It's great when different cultures adopt other cultures music and customs. I hope they do more videos.
Hank would be pleased to hear this band's cover of his classic! Well done! 👍 Eric certainly can dig a hole in his banjo and Jing Ding absolutely blows me away playing the fiddle part brilliantly on her erhu. 👍❤
Erhu as fiddle! I am so delighted by this video! I love traditional Chinese music and play bluegrass myself (banjo and guitar). This is the best of both worlds!
chinese ehru is usually for playing melodramatic melodies - one of the famous example is the Butterfly Lover Concerto - ehru's counterpart is the violin which the Butterfly Lover Concerto was originally written for ( see youtube - ua-cam.com/video/tu5XohUR3Pg/v-deo.html&start_radio=1 --------------- this video also shows the chinese counterpart of the trumpet as well )
Thank you @@kongchan437 for taking the time to share this link with me. I was only going to check out a few minutes of the performance, but I was hooked like a fish in the first few minutes. This was so amazing to me on many levels! The Chinese erhu must be one of the most expressive of instruments. Other than the Western instruments, bamboo flute, erhu and ghuzheng, I was not familiar with the other instruments including the horns. I must study more. These instruments are works of art themselves, like the hammered zithers and the ghuzheng. This erhu performance was astounding, truly jaw-dropping, and music lovers everywhere will delight in this! The virtuosity of this performer (I'm sure she's famous in China) is ... I'm sorry, I don't have words that are adequate to describe what I just saw and heard. The youth orchestra was a joy to watch and a pleasure to hear, all so accomplished and shining so brightly!
@@mweinberg55 there are other way to play the erhu also.... for different effect - such as one erhu performance on some horse racing theme in open desert plan - I could not find that link but found couple other similar erhu horse racing theme not as good as the one I seen couple years ago - for example see 1:13 / 1:41 mark of this violin-erhu ensemble ( ua-cam.com/video/Ag7NjQ8WtAU/v-deo.html ) or 4:18 of another erhu solo ( ua-cam.com/video/d3KrZQcS5vc/v-deo.html ) - enjoy
Yes she has a beautiful voice she doesn't over embellish the song I play bluegrass music I play guitar and I'm working on the mandolin and their band was very pleasant to listen to
I smiled all the way through that one. You guys are terrific! So we can find common ground on the music level. I think we are not so different after all.
That's how infectious American culture is. Here in the Cordilleras in northern Philippines, most of our people are lovers of American country music for decades now since the Americans established Camp John Hay in Baguio city.
Eric that’s some mighty fine banjo picking there.... as people say here in the south of the USA good job to all of y’all. Nice to see Chinese young people enjoying the music of the country people. Much love and keep playing. Good job all. That Chinese instrument like a fiddle/violin is very interesting.
A talented Chinese group playing Appalachian style music about life in south Louisiana. What a world we live in.
Only thing is they need to do some grinning along with that fine picking. I love this stuff.
Here again! 😊 They play great music!
@@grumpygrumpgrump136 Oui le sourire doit etre obligatoire car la musique c'est la gaieté surtout celle là 😉

I never thought in a million years that I'd find a Chinese band playing jambalaya by hank williams. This is so cool, thank you so much!!!
Music crosses boundaries.
I can die in peace now knowing that I've officially seen everything.
I've seen an all-Chinese band from Beijing called 'The Timely Band' do this song in 1988-89 and did very well and very animated with strong rhythm section including drums worthy of a country dance hall.
They are actually Taiwanese. The musical instrument is Chinese.
Their speciality…create nothing...copy…copy...stunningly note perfect 'n' deadly dull...you also see it in their classical pianists/violinists
Hank Williams died at age 29 in 1952 and his influence is still going all over the world. You have to believe he would have loved this.
真棒
pretty singer, pretty voice, cool band...
The Erhu worked out great!!! Keep on with your Music-the sky's the limit!!!
Wow, and I loved that Erhu. Give them a few years to spread their music. Dynamite.
I’ve watched it once a day for a whole week!
Wow, I'm actually sitting and watching this whilst in China on a 2 month lecturing trip ....what a joy to see ! Music has no boundaries.
The Erhu should become a required bluegrass instrument from now on. Fantastic rendition!
Yes!
Bravo!
Agreed!
Yes!
She REALLY makes it sing in their version of "Amarillo by Morning." Worth a listen!
Who said that East could not meet West? Splendid rendition especially of the erhu. Never thought the erhu could fit into a western orchestra!
Outstanding performance of a great song. As a lifelong Hank Williams fan, I am blown away.
As someone who has lived a significant portion of my life in Louisiana, I wholeheartedly approve. Well done.
Music is truly multi cultural and multi national..
Thanks ！🤝
Sure.
But it’s a one-way thing.

Same!
This is not an easy song to sing, but the singer did a great job! And the musicians are so talented! Great job everyone!
Great playing and singing...I wish I could give this a 1000 likes

The girl on the "fiddle" tore it up!
@@fredrohdes2620 I was wondering what kind of fiddle that was lol.
@@loquat44-40 I've got no idea what its called, but she sure can play it.
Nice!
@@fredrohdes2620 I believe the instrument is called an "erhu".
Totally agree - the erhu does an excellent job filling in for the fiddle.
I am in love ❤️
...
With the erhu.
Wow.. very very good..
It’s probably AI. 😂
Thanks for remembering Fats and the Carpenters. Heart touching. Love from Bangladesh
Suuper!!!Bravo China!!! Bravos Bandmusik!!
That is one of the most beautiful versions of this song I have ever heard. Keep jamming all of you.
Excellent and the singer has a very good voice... and fitted this song...
As an appalachia native, I absolutely enjoy and appreciate other cultures enjoying our music and culture, and y'all done a fine job 💯👍👍😁❤
Absolutely wonderful and smashing!❤
I can't stop listening to this. Just stunning.
I love these guys and what they're doing. It's a cultural mash-up that works.
Betsy has the voice of an angel. She has a blend of EmmyLou H and Alisonn K. She needs to be heard much more
Emmylou crossed my mind too as I listened. Silky smooth vocals
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! You kids are so talented!!!
The banjo player, Eric, is about 60 years old. Seems young and fit,though
I had no idea he was that old. It sure would be nice if they would have at least cracked a smile...@@francislarv3012
Nice banjo work!
Kids?
I am an old man (83)... Yes; they are "kids".@@Wilem35
She has such a beautiful voice. I hope Betsy makes more recording with Eric and the rest of the group.
Eric should get them together to record another Blue Grass song again.
Overwhelmingly Fantastic.....too good....far better than most California festival jams....
Wonderful picking and singing! She has a beautiful, sweet voice, and all musicians are excellent instrumentalists.
Very nice Sound from China. Beautiful singing. Erhu is fitting very well for this Music.
Wonderful performance by the Band. Cheers and Hats off to the iconic artists
Wow, Great talented band and beautiful singer . Love you all. First time listening to your band.
Amazing erhu part and cool laid back banjo. That soothing lyric and immaculate bass completes the song. Very nice indeed! :)
It so great to see and hear other cultures explore, play and sing the American music. Excellent job.
非常悅耳動聽！The sound of the banjo and erhu are so matching in harmony.
Music really provides good feelings doesn’t it. The banjo man is 100% right on character!! This is the coolest video ever. 😂❤
Nicely done, guys. I loved the banjo breaks blending in some melodic picking. I also enjoyed the erhu being used in place of a traditional fiddle. Creative and excellent!
China showing great respect to US Country Music! Really enjoyed these talented People!
It's propaganda. Just look at their faces. China trying to show they are better than us at our own culture. Too bad they totally missed the point of bluegrass being raw an unhinged. Respect to the lady on the Uhru thing tho.
Every place has rural people, so country music is worldwide.
A fine job by you young folks. Thank you.✌️
im 80 years old been listening to country r/roll sinatra this group is just fab.great lead voice the sounds that fiddle player got were magical.will watch out for more.

Music, the universal language, uniting people from all the world!
Very very good both singing and the orchestra, 95% mark.
Forget all your stereotypes. Turn off your TV. Turn off the media. We are all a big family!
I grew up on country and blue grass music, and I love this. It's great when different cultures adopt other cultures music and customs. I hope they do more videos.
I love the expression of joy and happiness on their faces during the song, especially Jung Ding.
I really laughed at your sarcasm!!Loved it!!
I had to go back and watch it again to see if I missed something!
Nothin beats that CCP version of fun-stripped asian perfection!
@@StephenWitharoseDude, why so negative. Did you break up with your boyfriend?
Simply great performance, very original version, great singer. Nice instruments
I love the melodic banjo lead on this song. Great playing by everyone. Keep posting.
