This is one of Chris's best vocal performances, to my ear. It's right in the wheelhouse of his range. THe Mandolin work is stellar, but I can't heap superlatives on it, since I feel like he's generated so many amazing solos, that I can't possibly have heard the single best one.

That is true

[@downriverprod]

That mandolin sounds SO GOOD ughhhh

[@philmallory7838]

Stellar! The emotion he coaxes from his mandolin is sublime. 🙂

Heard this live when Chris opened with it during his Lied Center performance tonight. Enough to make you weep...

[@joshualoreto3025]

I remember this show! This was one of the first shows I tuned into while I was working. This was the one where Jake Gyllenhaal does a monologue from Sea Wall / A Life.
Man, this was awesome to listen to and watch.

[@songpoets-ramcey]

I love the quiet and gentle approach to this classic song. Nice work, CT! Ramcey in Nashville

My favorite bluegrass mandolin player:) I’m only 69 tho still young

[@marcjaffee4155]

One of my favorite Chris covers. What a version.

[@mac8697]

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here right by my side
And in her right hand a silver dagger
She says that I can't be your bride
"All men are false", says my mother
"They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
The very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link a heart does dangle
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
Go court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned, and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life

[@hansemannluchter643]

WTF did I just hear?
Angus Young on mandolin??
That was an absolutely frigging awesome performance!!

[@fetermcblues]
