  • I learned this several hundred year-old Appalachian song when I was 12 years old. It speaks of the story of early European immigrants coming to the United States.

    Just beautiful. I came here via Bob Dylan's version. Your singing reminds me of Ishbell MacAskill. Also Hamlet Gonashvilli. Something about the silence it seems to come out of and the silence it leaves me with when it ends. Like a deep rest in the heart.

      Hi there. Thank you for this comment. I love how you said that. I do feel it in my bones… I love this country and all the stories it has… many that I want to keep alive, keep us from forgetting, the pain that a lot of us came from.. and still feel. It reminds us where we come from. I am working on building a small home studio at the moment, and I want to record more of those songs. What song recommendations do you have? :) thanks again.

      Hello there! I did some research and some ethnomusicologists date this song to the 1600’s. The singers probably just changed the year to whatever year it was 😊That’s the story I’ve heard.
