I am an old man and this has always been one of my favorite songs this has to be the best version I have ever heard and I've been listening to it for over 50 years great job
I am a '48 model human myself..This version is Jerry Approved from afar, I am sure.
Her voice is like warm honey. What a gift.
love that
She is a bit more talented than the flavor of the day...Taylor swift
~a very special tune. Its' the kind of thing you never forget. You won't hear it in commercial advertisement. It's not a ` jingle '. ~or ` background ' in a beer or truck ad. But Shakespeare would understand it. ~and a few others...
"Let it be known...there is a fountain... that was not made, by the hands of men." Maybe the most spiritual line in popular music history. Beautifully sung.
Amen
She has perfect pitch. Every note is so accurate
Absolutely beautiful. Jerry is smiling down at this one for sure.
Amen
If there were a heaven it would be sitting under a tree playing music like this with friends and family.
When I want to smile, feel better, and lower my blood pressure, I listen to this. AJ is amazing.
I think I'm gonna call my work, tell 'em I'm sick, stay home and listen to these amazing folks all day.
Ripple is perhaps the greatest modern popular mystical song ever written. Without a doubt the best version is the original Grateful Dead studio version, but this version is a close second. Beautifully, beautifully sung.
Andy Peace I agree. Mostly enjoy their live versions of almost any song. But Ripple studio version just has that raw splendor that comes from the beginning of something beautiful. I truly think they knew how special it was from the start. Jerry didn’t play it often because of how much it meant to him.
I would throw the Playing for Change version in also.
The truth.
@@kurtsaxton823 Really not fair 🙂 ... putting together All-Stars from around the globe, with PFC's engineering, production, editing ... yeah, they do it up right 😊
There is something universal about Side 2 of American Beauty even if you are into the GD that much. They put out two wonderful albums in 1970.
holy crap, AJ Lee, this is probably the best rendition I ever heard.
Thank you
@@AJLeeMusic he
Just one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
These two ladies have come along way since this video
Indeed they are both among only 5 total nominees for the International Bluegrass Music Association award for best female vocalist in 2024 as well!
As a 45+ year fan of The Grateful Dead, this is a great cover. Well done young lady, well done...
We still love you here in Ireland ...
AJ Lee has the voice of an angel! ❤
Beautiful song and AJ Lee does a wonderful job god bless her beautiful voice
I honestly believe that Heaven is a pleasant spring afternoon sitting under a shade tree playing music like this.
I sure hope so
Perfect timing and harmony
Friend, I have been studying the Bible for a long time, This is nice but not even close to what heaven will be like. Heaven is a place who have submitted to the will of God while on earth (Matt. 7:21) and a place where the saved will be in the presence of God and worship Him. (Rev. 4:10)
AJ is a gift from God to all of us. I absolutely love the lyric "Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men." May we all drink from it.
The Grateful Dead
@@davidnissen9491 Thank you for this great insight...

AJ and Molly melt my heart. x
As you listen to the lullaby think what he added! & say God's Speed to the poet **Robert Hunter**.
Thanks for all the words, Bob! The lyrics to the soundtrack of my & so many others lives
The words you wrote are more poignant than any others and still ring true today.
AJlee's voice is so sincere and pure it makes me believe that magic does indeed exist,so pleased to see this level of talent from these magnificent young musicians.
AJ is beautiful, and has even more beautiful voice, I want to hear it again and again, one of the best covers I've ever heard ☺
Unbelievably pitch perfect lead singer! Awesome!
This is nation-wide quality! This young girl supported by this band, it reminds me of my long lost hometown. If your cup runeth over. But faith cannot turn the tide of incoming doubt.
Fantastic! This really got my day off to a Fine start! :)
Great job on this rendition of Jerry’s masterpiece! My uncle ,which went on to have a successful music career!
Moved to California in the 60s and met Jerry Garcia , the two became life long friends !
They lived under a bridge,because at the time neither one of them had any money or contacts,that would start their journey !
My uncles career brought him back to the east !
Jerry’s kept him mostly west coast early on !
Loved hearing my uncle,tell me about their encounters!
I feel like I am on strange trip just watching this. Cool how GD has touched so many breeds of life.
Playing my guitar with you in my kitchen now..a Thanksgiving gift to me...how sweet! Amazing to watch your musical journey through the years. All of you all!!!! Molly Too!
Wow no better combo ever! Beautiful song beautiful girl!
AJ an absolute beauty.
My favourite bluegrass singers: AJ Lee and Molly Tuttle! Loved this song!
Robert Houben they also do swing. Beautifully. And just plain mountain music. I would not be surprised to see them morph some more.
The song is just beautiful, bu the girl is even more beautiful!!! young lady you are perfect!!
Great rendition of that classic Jerry Garcia standby.
AJ Lee is only 15 here, but her voice had long been showing signs of the greatness to come. Fans should also search UA-cam for her solo version of Ripple.
Touching. Just wonderful.
The first time I have heard this lady. Mark me down as her number one fan in the UK. WOW!!
Beautiful Beautiful
AJ you have a gift ,nurture it, treasure it , and please continue to share it.
Nine years later, AJ is an even better singer. On this great song. Good to hear her and Molly together. I wish that she would have the same success as Molly. I am glad to see Sully, with his beautiful baritone voice, in her present band.
awesome song its one of my favorites love yalls music
The voice of an angel (y)
Somewhere, Jerry and Pigpen are smiling...
Seamus322 Up in Rock 'n Roll heaven.
I could not agree with you more smiling their asses off Bro. .....
and doing a little dance
for the purity of this version
exellent...crisp clear lyrics
amen
RIP Jerry a man with a truly beautiful soul
I find myself repeating myself over and over every time I listen to a AJ Lee version of any song. Give Robert Hunter credit for the words and Jerry Garcia for the music, but honestly the vocals and delivery of this great song now belongs to AJ Lee and we must never forget the Tuttles. Together they bring musical magic and meaning to a song leaving all who listen with a greater appreciation for the songs they sing and their combined talents. Larry Milby
Thank you Larry.
Larry Noble i been listening to this for many years by Jerry Garcia.i totally agree with Larry on that how Aj lifted upp the song to other level by her style and by her sweet voice.Now I play this song her way on my guitar. Thank you Aj .keep on singin.
I concur
A wonderful song.
What a sweet voice. Needed this today. Thank you ❤
The dislikes have to be by accident...Have to be. I listen to this version in my car. Thanks A.J. and Tuttle family.
One of my favorite songs, and a beautiful version....
Ie-i, I support you by far, from anywhere in the country at the end of the east.
Can't believe I have never heard of these beautiful folk, such great sound, gb
I'm came across AJ looking up ripple, would love to here her play sitting here in limbo! PS love all songs and covers, I'm 33 from Detroit, my grandfather on my mother's side was from Ohio, he had a great ear for music and loved mandalin and gospel, and I also love, Jerry, Grisman, Neil young, Roy Clark, and many bluegrass and old country/ gospel, Love you guy's! Huge fan, Your fan , Benjamin Wozniak
Awesome!
Wow. Young lady you have made my life better. It's been a long time since chills shot down my spine upon hearing the first 30 seconds of a song.
Wonderful performance. I'm your fan now. Thank You (o:
AJ Lee & The Tuttles has been a favorite of mine for a long time now...'Ripple' never sounded better....Jerry I'm sure is 'Grateful'....
my new favorite version of my favorite song
Pure enjoyment...One of my favourite songs..Bravo...
❤️ so beautiful!
I love your rendition of this beautiful song, you have a beautiful voice.
How beautiful, all...
What a fantastic group. My fav bluegrass group now. AJ does a beautiful job on this and the harmony is out of this world great. I love this group...Good luck in your music.
..Ed Gowens Echota Records and Songwriter
Beautiful singing and playing, as always. This and a cup of coffee, what a way to start the morning.
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
My favourite song from Grateful Dead American Beauty album. Takes me back to a younger, simpler time and this rendition is so well done by all of you. Excellent vocals as usual, AJ.
I'm going to find all your music and buy it all great job for all of you
It isn't just me the bassist looks just like greg popovich right? Beautiful job AJ Lee, brings a smile every time I hear this :)
Jason Steinberg he looks more like Donald Sutherland than Coach Pop
This has got to be one of rhe most beautiful songs ever written. So much imagery, as I listen wirh my eyes closed. Even more beautiful as sung by this young lady AJ Lee. I do not know much about her, but as much incredibile talent as our beloved Linda Ronsted. Jerry would have been proud to sing with her on any of those songs, I'm sure. Thank you for this from AJ.
Thank you!!
God I love Her voice, so soothing and comforting. It just sweeps all the cobwebs out of your mind and leaves it clear and ringing softly.
Holy-smoke, what a wonderful performance. ❤
Wonderful cover. Thanks.
Very nice version
She has it. She has the fire!
Wow! Grateful Rendition of an old favorite. Keep up the great work, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see you all in Tracy.
What a beautiful rendition, thanks for the memories...
One of the grwatest melodies and song ever written...there is no way to not enjoy this song
Playing for change group did an extremely good rendition with truly great musicians
Perfect!
Love the way you do this song. Love your CD. I'm looking forward for anothr another. God Bless.
This is beautiful , so relaxing , I could listen over & over...
My God, what a beautiful voice.
What Bruce said. What a gem this song is. Nice to hear it sung by a young pure voice.
Beautiful harmonizing on this song, AJ and Molly! Just beautiful! Thank you!
Beautiful. Thank You Possibly one of the greatest songs ever written
Beautiful voice AJ
yeah, my favorite Dead toon.
Takes me back...
couldn't hold off any longer just ordered your cd , looking forward to listening to it real soon........thanks
We will send it right away!
AJ Lee received your cd promptly and have been enjoying it for the last several days , thanks !
I too have AJ's CD... yes it is great... indeed it is a pleasure to hear anything by AJ or The Tuttles. I can find only one flaw to it... it needed more songs on it... :)
Perhaps the next one.
Speaking of CD's... I'm waiting for Molly's new album... to add to my collection...
Just received your CD. It´s awesome. The sound quality is so much better than it is on UA-cam - of cause - which gives your voice that deep saturation (if I may use a photographic term). I´ve put up a link to your website on my facebook profile, and I actually recommended you to a danish folk festival. I really hope they listen to me, cause I think you deserve to be world wide! ;-)
+Hans Erik Kratholm Rasmussen Great to hear Hans! Yes, the CD is a much better sound recording than the YT. Glad you can hear the difference. Let me know if there is an interest in what I do in Denmark.
+AJ Lee Oh yes - I am interested in what you do. As for the rest of Denmark I hope my enthusiasm will spread like ripples ;-) I think a festival like Tonder festival would match your music. I have no connection to the festival board, but I have sent them some links to your site, and to your UT vids. Then I can just hope, they will liste to me. People like Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger has played at the festival.
Thanks for a wonderful version of a beautiful song . You and Tuttle's have done this song well
I love AJ Lee your the best
wise and innocent at once. beauty personified.
Beautiful rendition!
Well done. txs for sharing.
I've been expecting to see John Mailander play with this band sometime.considering how much he works with Molly.
Beautiful
thank you, blessings, love all, bic
