      Same here. I swear as far back as the mid-2000s, but I can't find any of those old vids anymore. It was pure gold then and is nothing if not purer now.

    Miracles sometimes come from odd places and circumstances Take, for instance, some of the best Bluegrass originating in the brown hills of California. These folks have gone from really good to really great and all those who preceeded them in the genre have to be extremely proud.

    It takes true talent to cover someone else’s song and own it in this way. Y’all have done this several times. Cumberland Blues, With Body and Soul, and Who Walks In are just a few to name. And Sully Tuttle, Wow! What a beautiful solo. It’s so perfect it sounds like it was composed. Also AJ’s voice is a blessing to anyone who is fortunate enough to have listened. Love the finger style guitar Scott. And Jan, you’re my favorite fiddler ever.

  • @tomblackwood7963
    @tomblackwood7963 11 місяців тому +3

    I like what these guys do with this tune musically, but I don't understand why so many bands that cover this song go with the shortcut lyrics in verse two. I don't which coverer made the alternate lyrics up in the first place or why, but they make no sense. If he already crossed the mountains, he wouldn't need to walk out of the hollow. And he didn't ask some pretty girl to be his bride, he asked Tillie Helton. Why write her out of the narrative? It's not like it's a super-difficult verse to get right.

    • @TN-D18
      @TN-D18 7 місяців тому

      Pretty girl instead of Tellie Helton, and Cumberland Mountains instead of Katahrins Mountain. These small changes make the song easier understood by those less familiar with eastern Kentucky, Black Mountain and coal mining topography. He comes down the mountain to the holler and wants to take her away. Either way, a fabulous tune.
