Wow. This is probably the most beautiful blue grass song I’ve ever heard. The singing is just out of this world and the musicianship is perfect. Well done. 10/10.
I heard this song on Bluegrass Junction in my truck..... TURNED IT UP! My goodness what clarity of vocals and an exceptional tenor lead.... one of the few with such clarity and you can feel this song all the way thru your heart. I am NOW an Authentic Unlimited Fan because of this song. Every vocal, instrument, and timing is absolutely perfect and the song is beautiful depicting the soul and genre of Bluegrass Music today. Hat's off to these guys for putting together this masterpiece of a song. PS - And Jerry Douglas put his magic of subtle notes in there to top it off.
Hey brother, I knew that sounded like Jerry, but where was he? I never saw the dobro! I just stumbled onto this band, but a long time Jerry Douglas fan. Thanks for saying what I wanted to say, but you said it better! Such purity. But where is J. D.? Glory to God! ☝️✌️
Jerry Douglas is not a member of Authentic Unlimited. He played on the song for them and although this video seem's to be a live performance the sound is actually not from the live performance.
@@danielbrott406 I hear ya, man. I thought of that but it sure looks like they're playing it. Lol...I'll watch again. I didn't think they would just patch in his part, which they could do, it's their recording. Very interesting thought. Anyway, thanks, I love Jerry & know he's not in the band. But he gets around! Lord bless. ☝️
I watch Authentic Unlimited at the Lincoln Theatre in Marion, VA (Dec. 7th, 2024) while videoing for the "Song of the Mountain" series. A great performance, one of the best Bluegrass Bands I have ever heard. Outstanding!
OMG, when he hits that high note I get chills everytime. What a voice, and hell of a band. I just bought this and other songs yesterday by this band. I've played this song a dozen times in 2 days.
I knew this young man since he was about 10 years old and hadn’t touched an instrument. My goodness, John!! You have developed an incredible voice and mastery of your instrument. Congratulations on becoming such an amazing artist! Bryan
Such beautiful lead vocals and solid harmonies along with exceptional musicianship. Now that’s some solid bluegrass right there! Outstanding performance! 🎶👏
John has a spectacular voice. I heard him singing "Jonas" on Bluegrass Junction the other day and was truly impressed. Great band with tight harmonies and outstanding musicians.
Authentic Unlimited has the best vocals in Bluegrass. They're fantastic musicians also. I keep listening to this song and never get tired of it. Love his voice!
Wow John! You have been very blessed with a beautiful talent and a great family! How many would quit their jobs and move to Hyden, Kentucky so the whole family could attend the Kentucky Bluegrass and Traditional music school? That’s deep love and support, and boy did it pay off. I hope you win a Grammy!
Congratulations!! To Authentic Unlimited!! 2023 Nashville IBMA Vocal Group & New Artist Of Year! IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards! Phenomenal job at the Bloomin Bluegrass Festival Farmers Branch 🚜 Tx Also !
I live just a few miles from Eli and I have seen these guys twice at an annual fundraiser for a small rural community school. Not mention Jerry, Eli and Stephen with Quicksilver. These guys are as nice as they are talented, and we are lucky to have someone as talented and humble as Eli in our community. Hope you can make it again next year. I will be there lord willing.
I cried the first time I heard this, the time that went into the lyrics and musical arrangement is at a level I haven’t heard in years. The Bluegrass World has been wide open and fast with great music and talent, but this, this has been missing. And it brought tears of joy to hear this brought back to the proper place.
I’m in similar awe listening to this as the first time I heard the Steeldrivers on Pandora before Stapleton blasted off. This song and this ensemble has no choice but to transcend in a similar way. Excited for bluegrass and for AU.
If there is a perfect song, this is it. There will be a lot of tears shed over this one. It is effortless, gentle and easy. It immediately brings you to sweet memories or a memory yet to be.
I'm sitting here playing this over and over. It's amazing how good it is. This group played at my yearly homecoming back in September, I'd never heard them before. Every member is talented above measure. I'd had John Meador on my Facebook forever but never knew who he was. His vocals are absolutely angelic..I did get to meet them after the show. I'd played with JD Crowe for 4 years and went on to play with Keith Whitley for 8 years..I'd not listened to much bluegrass in the past 30 years but after this concert, I may be back on track.
This is an outstanding performance by the whole band with such beautiful harmony. I love this song and I can't stop listening to it. John's voice is awesome. I also love the songs , Hannah and Jonas . Thank you one and all!!
The Meador family is loaded with talent. Check out John's brother Jesse in Kentucky Just Us. Jesse won the national banjo picking contest in Kansas year before last. He is a songwriter/vocalist/banjo picker.
Heartfelt... tenderness, regret but no animosity. Perfect expression of a relationship that doesn't work out. Only the good lord knows!!! Thank you for this healing
He is the male version of Allison Krauss (spelling sorry) WOW! Seems most of their material hits my heart and soul unlike any music i have ever heard in my life........These guys are the real deal. OMG!
@@swampshepherd Not Ireland. America comes from Ulster. That's our people. Mostly English, but the people of Ulster come in very close, EXTREMELY influential in American culture and life, anyone with actual American roots who say they have Irish ancestors likely have zero Irish ancestors and are actual Ulster Scot, uslter is IN Ireland, but they aren't of the Irish people, they are Scots. Another word for the Ulster Scots is "Scot -irish". But I hate that term because it confuses people. Our history has been systematically obfuscated.
Jerry, Jesse and the boys are absolutely amazing. Tremendous vocals and instrumentals! They will be at Bluegrass First Class in Asheville in Feb 2024. I have been to this festival for many years and it is one of if not the best festivals anywhere. It is inside the Crown Plaza hotel there. For those who do not know, Jerry, Eli and Stephen were in the Last Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver band when Doyle retired. Jesse and John joined and the results you can hear!!!
This group has the potential to be one of the greatest ever. Awesome vocals not to mention solid instrumentals. Accomplished musicians and spot on vocals.
Absolutely tremendous mandolin player. Harmonies make me love everybody. Just a rush of sparkling talent. I thoroughly enjoyed "Tall weeds and rust." Marvelous harmonies. Dennis Brayshaw Tampa, Florida.
My wife and I saw the same show,if ever there was a perfect band, these guys are IT! I didn't know a band could play live at their level of perfection. Love to see them next year, same place.
her name was autumn anne marie knew she'd be the one for me courted when the leaves were gone future left yet to unfold saved my money to buy a ring planned the weddin' for the early spring gentle years like summer rain brought us to a fall of pain seasons come and seasons go Autumn left before the snow she's not coming back to me nothing's like it was before i don't have Autumn anymore but i still love the fall in Tennessee when i step into the chilly air i close my eyes and shes still there walking in the autumn breeze blows her memory back to me visions of her smiling face something seasons cant replace the reasons why she had to go only the Good Lord knows seasons come and seasons go Autumn left before the snow she's not coming back to me nothing's like it was before i don't have Autumn anymore but i still love the fall in Tennessee seasons come and seasons go Autumn left before the snow she's not coming back to me nothing's like it was before i don't have Autumn anymore but i still love the fall -in Tennessee
Wow, UA-cam algorithm worked great today. I absolutely love everything about this. The instrumental, the singing, and most importantly the song. Chalk me up as a new fan for sure!
Wow. This is probably the most beautiful blue grass song I’ve ever heard. The singing is just out of this world and the musicianship is perfect. Well done. 10/10.

Where have you all been my whole life? Phenomenal!
I believe some of these guys played with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. They are at another level re: their talent.
I knew this young man since he was about 10 years old and hadn’t touched an instrument. My goodness, John!! You have developed an incredible voice and mastery of your instrument. Congratulations on becoming such an amazing artist! Bryan

I am family members with Eli
This is the music of our people. Long live this native and fine people, carrying on the true legacy of anglo America!
Wow! Talk about being taken back in time! Oh boy, i hear some Keith whitly, Ralph Stanley, Tony Rice, and Ricky Skaggs. Very well done! Keep it up.
John, you are a great singer and guitar player! God bless you!
Wow John! You have been very blessed with a beautiful talent and a great family! How many would quit their jobs and move to Hyden, Kentucky so the whole family could attend the Kentucky Bluegrass and Traditional music school? That’s deep love and support, and boy did it pay off. I hope you win a Grammy!
Been a while since I’ve heard a song that gave me chills. This one got me.

I am in aww! What a beautiful and melodic song. John your vocals are stupendous. The harmonization is spot on as well as musicianship.

John and Jesse are ‘Like No Other’ when they are Together!!!!🎶🪕💙💙🎶🎶
Love this song. I could play it on repeat all day long😊
Beautiful!! Congratulations on IBMA Music Video of the Year!
It was great seeing you guys in Pigeon Forge this past weekend at the bluegrass festival. Really enjoyed it!
Heartfelt... tenderness, regret but no animosity. Perfect expression of a relationship that doesn't work out. Only the good lord knows!!! Thank you for this healing
I love the song and have played it over and over again! Great vocals, great lyrics, great musicians, beautiful music. It always brings on a few tears.
Man...THIS is what a BlueGrass song sounds like 👍.
I love this one so much!!
Beautiful, gave me chills.
One of the most beautiful songs i have heard. Absolutely perfect
He is the male version of Allison Krauss (spelling sorry) WOW! Seems most of their material hits my heart and soul unlike any music i have ever heard in my life........These guys are the real deal. OMG!
Wonderful song. This is real country music. Pure anglo Celtic Americana.
I was going to say that I could hear Ireland.
@@swampshepherd

Absolutely beautiful, vocally and instrumentality
World Class .. definitely deserving of all the accolades .. Beautiful Song Guys ..Perfect Harmony
Smooth and tastefully done. Nice touches on your tele. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully done! What a fantastic group and the lead vocals are stunning.
My brother turned me on to this song. Love it! My only problem with it is it's not Kentucky. Great song!!
Amazing Amazing !! PERFECTION
Awesome !...And I can hear a little Bob Minner in that.
Yes, the guitar lick at the beginning (and throughout really) was no doubt written by Bob Minner.
What a voice! I like this song very much.
Super Great bluegrass.....you go guys. !!!
LOve this song
Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful it brings artful tears to my eyes! I am touched deeply!

best active band in bluegrass right now
Absolutely tremendous mandolin player. Harmonies make me love everybody. Just a rush of sparkling talent. I thoroughly enjoyed "Tall weeds and rust." Marvelous harmonies. Dennis Brayshaw Tampa, Florida.
He singer like a angle😊
This should be at the top of the charts! Thus I am proven right that degeneracy is the scourge of our time, people love it. Great playing!
Yes. Because of a tribe of people promoting a special type of Africana.
Thank you for posting this! His song Four Strong Winds is great too❤
Congrats guys on your IBMA 2024 wins, especially for video of the year and song of the year for Fall in Tennessee!
My understanding of this is God called her home. Beautiful song and performance.
I agree, "reason why she had to go, only the good Lord knows" gives it away.
And her name may have been Autumn Ann-Marie
Sounds so Great!
Beautiful voice
Beautiful song albeit heartbreaking. Great music and vocals.
Wow. Good song.
Amazing voice!! Such pitch and clarity, tight band
Ya they’re one of my favorite treats when it comes on the radio. They’re awesome
My God! Thats the most beautiful vocal song in bluegrass music. This. folks, is as good as it gets. Bravo!
I absolutely love this group. Their mix of harmony and playing of instruments is perfect! I haven't heard anything they have done that I didn't like!
wow...just wow
Honestly a great song all around!
Just saw you guys in Pigeon Forge yesterday. Awesome show. Amazing harmony and playing.
My wife and I saw the same show,if ever there was a perfect band, these guys are IT! I didn't know a band could play live at their level of perfection. Love to see them next year, same place.
Catch myself always humming the refrain. Great stuff!
beautiful
her name was autumn anne marie
knew she'd be the one for me
courted when the leaves were gone
future left yet to unfold
saved my money to buy a ring
planned the weddin' for the early spring
gentle years like summer rain
brought us to a fall of pain
seasons come and seasons go
Autumn left before the snow
she's not coming back to me
nothing's like it was before
i don't have Autumn anymore
but i still love the fall in Tennessee
when i step into the chilly air
i close my eyes and shes still there
walking in the autumn breeze
blows her memory back to me
visions of her smiling face
something seasons cant replace
the reasons why she had to go
only the Good Lord knows
seasons come and seasons go
Autumn left before the snow
she's not coming back to me
nothing's like it was before
i don't have Autumn anymore
but i still love the fall in Tennessee
seasons come and seasons go
Autumn left before the snow
she's not coming back to me
nothing's like it was before
i don't have Autumn anymore
but i still love the fall
-in Tennessee
The journey, the Sounds, the Bros..and the Dividends ❤... Just How Blessed We All Are ❤ 💯. Just Blown Away ❤ 😇.
