Hi just want to point out I emailed the band to ask about the Tabs for the banjo and I actually reviced a reply with an audio file takling and playing me through it... really above and beyond what I expected... repect and gratitude
The lyrics for this song were actually written for 1944 radio show. Old Chisholm Trail. Words Butch Hawes, tune "Arkansas Traveler." recorded 1944 Cisco Houston and 1959 Jack Elliot, 12 other including Bob Dylan..
@@RTRDick I first heard this in the late 50's when Jack Elliott was in the UK. He recorded a version here in 1958. Are you sure it was written to the tune "Arkansas Traveler" ? I think a better candidate would be "John Johanna" where the final line is "I never knew what misery was 'til I left old Arkansas".
@@Backup6Box Yes, you are correct, the melody is a traditional song about Arkansas, but doesn't sound like Traveler, John Johanna is also mentioned, must be correct. Thanks
@@Backup6Box Cisco Houston was the first to record it, and he was in the play that it was written for (written by Butch Hawes) so I assume he is playing it similar to how he first heard it. ua-cam.com/video/4HKuICLAQos/v-deo.html
Heard it first on Random Access Mash by Hard Drive. They call it Bob Wills Stomp. I'm guessing Nokosee Fields is the link but no idea of the tune's origin.
Really well done. Great playing/singing, and most importantly, captures the forlorn feeling of someone feeling trapped in a dead end job. I hadn't heard the Bob Dylan version, and went ahead and listened to it. I love it. I think he lifted it from Ramblin' Jack Elliot's version, which has pretty much identical lyrics, and was recorded at least 30 years earlier. ua-cam.com/video/oQUoByeFKwE/v-deo.html
@@DeepEndSessions (Pre-Covid) audiences for folk/old-time/BG music tend to be older...often a sea of white hair. Younger folks are playing, and that's encouraging, but I don't see them coming out to support live (folk) music. They (stereotype) spend more time on their phones or social media rather than attend live (folk) concerts. I am not including Rock/rap/etc in this discussion.
This band is criminal underrated
One of best versions out there
Finally.... REAL BLUEGRASS! This band is TIGHT!
Well played with skill and conviction, and when I remember a few of my way back employers, this song rings all too true!
Absolutely perfect
Hello Onlies,, I cannot get enough of this! Thanks so very much!!
I’ve been a bluegrass fan since 1970... You guys are fantastic!!! ❤️

they are great people!
Great version of this song! This video reminds me of the house concert in Maryland when my wife & I saw you perform (back in 2018, I think).
Glad to see this. They were at the Birmingham Mentone dance weekend a few years ago and had the place rockin'. Hope to see them down the road again.
Heavenly
Excellent 👍👍
yeah!
Brilliant. Thank you for my big smile!
Killer! I’m really enjoying your new album. Thanks for being so great!
very well done!
Riley awhhh!😍
Nice Job!!!! - Bo Helena, Mt

Nice performance but what part did Dylan have in this I guess it is the tune. I am pretty sure the words pre-date him

Yeehaa!
Anyone know where I could find the banjo tabs for this?
What tune is that at the end?

@@blimeyo4969 thank you! My mind is much eased.

Bit irrelivent, but that bloke on the Left looks just like Radar of M.A.S.H
Young band...older audience. Typical. Why is this?
The Onlies are a phenom. They were all just 21 years old when they played for us. That is not typical. they have played together since they were 10.
@@DeepEndSessionsI live in Seattle, North of Olympia where they are from. That was not my question.
@@jarchhhh ok, what do you think? I offered that this is not typical. you disagree?

@@jarchhhh actually alot of young friends and fans of The Onlies showed up for their show. great jam afterwards, too
