Wow. That's such a moving rendition. So deeply beautiful in a time when so many folks seem to feel compelled to play old-time tunes at breakneck speed.
These artists are from Michigan, so they're midwestern. If you like music like this come to Minnesota, mostly uptown Minnesota cafes. Appalachian music is much faster and has more strings.
Performing in the UP of Michigan. The trees and ferns are familiar. Lovely part of Michigan, maybe more like Appalachia. Got wolves. Moose, Mines, Pasties and a few mountains. A lot of waterfalls and Lakes Superior and Michigan. The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island will take you back into the 1800s and you feel very special. This music is perfect for the beauty of the land. Good work.
Pardon my ignorance, but this sounds like a tune the artist at the time years ago (I believe, Doc Watson) called Hick's lament, about a circuit riding preacher (Rev Hicks), who, while out on his circuit of meetings, got caught in a deadly winter storm AND became sick nigh unto death. Then he wrote the song to his wife, believing they would likely not meet again, this side of heaven. But he did survive & got back home. Any thoughts you may have are most gratefully received. God's blessings... - bro Paul -
Somehow I went from my office being filled with the magnificent sounds of screaming metal - big guitars, drums, guttural vocals and piercing solos, to this. What a pleasure this was. This is the soul of American culture right here. Just beautiful.
This is how I am going to play the fiddle just speechless at how good that sounds. Great guitar picker I know I been playing for 22 years. Love this group.
This beauteous melody resonates with the strings of the heart. A heart having been parted wide open with the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean. The pining lyrical ballad of the lover to their mate that they are ne'er to see again. A haunting verse; the beauty in the pain. So well done you two, I look forward to seeing you live in the near future.
God. So beautiful you brought tears to my eyes. I came on UA-cam looking for other versions to supplement Brad Leftwich's round peak banjo tuition. I was purring at the fiddle intonation and gorgeous slow double stops, and then you starting singing... and then you both started singing. Wow. Wow. Thank you so much, this feels like finding a piece of treasure.
I am a fiddler and play this style this lady does people trust me to play and sing fiddle at the same time is very difficult to do well. I remember 15 years ago hearing an old fiddler play and sing East Texas and the tune was The Devil and the Faemers wife. I vowed I would learn to play that style no matter how long it took me. You are never to old to learn.
This is one of the outstanding performances shared by truly talented folks. The symetry of the lead voice coupled with the violin....accompanied by the d tuned guitar and parallel harmony of that fella' has put this at the top of acoustic perfection. All in front of an outhouse. Melodic perfection.....words from a breaking heart.
holy S*$t. Stumbled upon this video by pure accident. Have listened to it already four time and am totally spellbound. You are BRILLIANT. everything is perfect. Pitch, tone, all of it!!!! My new fav version of this song!
I stumbled upon this too.☺ I'm glad I did, I've always loved this style of music, I searched for the same song and I personally love this one the best.
When it comes to folk music, less is more. They nailed it.
New favorite friend
Wow. That's such a moving rendition. So deeply beautiful in a time when so many folks seem to feel compelled to play old-time tunes at breakneck speed.
When I discovered old-timey music in 1983, I concluded that much of bluegrass music was old-timey, played as fast as one can!
A beautiful version and beautiful voice!
I keep coming back to this video, so much heart and soul in this rendition. ❤❤❤❤
The most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard
Listen to Bruce Molsky's version he does in the Transatlantic sessions. Its very good.
@@peterjackson4623 It is indeed excellent but this is superior
Same
i dont know why but Brodie Buttons version is kinda my favorite.. extremely underrated artist.. give him a try
Reminiscent of old time porch music of the 40's 50's I simply can not get enough.
This is Scots and Ulster Scots music and it's beautiful to hear.Love fae bonnie Scotland
Appalachian people are so beautiful. They may be faced with hardship, but they make such beauty out of it. Much love from the Rockies.
These artists are from Michigan, so they're midwestern. If you like music like this come to Minnesota, mostly uptown Minnesota cafes. Appalachian music is much faster and has more strings.
heartwrenching... beautiful. Well done!
Really amazing music. This is what another's soul sounds like - passed down over generations. You are hearing history.
younger generations need to hear this type of poetry more often!
Exactly. Well put.
Amen. Very well said.
