having a scotsman as a father, hearing this makes me miss him thank you sam. I used to live in glasgow for a short while and this makes me miss my second home.
I am a 12th generation Appalachian of Scot descent, I can say that this is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, and I saw Ralph Stanley sing it in person. Great job, love it!
This was exceptionally outstanding. Authentic and raw as all hell, too. Probably not too far off from the way this would have sounded when it was played in the hills and hollers of Appalachia a couple hundred years ago. Beautiful ballads like these remind me of our intertwined cultures, our shared language, and kindred origins. Good stuff, my friend! God bless you, - from your American cousin across the pond.
My Scottish Appalachian heritage runs almost 3 centuries long, and I could listen to you play all day long!
Yall gave us our Appalachian music proud of my heritage 🇺🇲🏴🇮🇪🏴💪

Incredibly underrated. You have the perfect voice for this genre of music! I've replayed your Appalachian and western songs so many times now.

This makes my heart ache! I love your music so much man thank you for another good song man
Ok, Scotland is now on my list to visit one day. And play Sam all the time, Scotland must feel proud of this talent 🙏
I discovered this song from Pete Seeger but this one is so much better. I absolutely love it, thank you for keeping Scotland's songs alive.
Howdy from East Tennessee! Wonderful version, Looking forward to your future music!
