This is so old now, yet still sounds fresh, timeless and just achingly beautiful. I think it's notable that Chris still plays this tune regularly, including on Prairie Home Companion a few weeks ago, and at some Punch Brothers gigs, and at festivals. He rarely plays anything else from the album this was on (Not All Who Wander Are Lost), but this track is evidently one he remains proud of to this day. And no wonder - truly a masterpiece.
i was browsing in a store with my ipod on shuffle today, and this song came on. i swear each time is like the first time. what a gift.
Met Bryan Sutton tonight, told him this video was one of my all time favorites on UA-cam.
Nice!
This is when the MASTERS get together....and pick
Yeah, I agree, it's heavenly
Super-sensitive guitar there... humbled and yet uplifted by this. Wow.
I think that this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.
Utterly beautiful
Anyone who still thinks acoustic roots music is a restricted musical form with a limited range of expression should listen to this. Sublime.

It doesn't get better than this!
exquisite! merci.
yeah this is deff one of the pieces of music ever written, in 'my 'opinion lol of about 20 tunes
What makes it even more amazing is that he wrote it at age 15.
Anyone know what type of guitar Bryan's playing?
what kinda chord is that like around 3 50?
Sounds like switches A major to A minor. Then the A minor 9, ( root, 2 (9), b3, 5. Then Esus.
