The phenomenal success of Billy Strings is a huge surprise, selling out arenas with .. bluegrass? So cool, but success has a way of making folks a lot more inaccessible.
Not true. We just have to find it. Billy Strings, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle - I could go on. It's there. In fact I just saw Sierra and Molly 6 weeks apart and booked tickets to Alison's 2025 tour this morning.
What kind of moron gives this a thumbs down?! Alison Krauss' fantastic singing voice backed up by an incredible band. It doesn't get any better than this. She also performed it at the 50TH anniversary of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the Ryman Auditorium. It was fabulous as well with Sam Bush in the band. I see the late Randy Scruggs is on guitar in this version.
My wife and I saw her in the symphony hall here in Huntsville. It was truly sublime. I have seen a good many famous artists over the years, but that may well have been the best concert I've ever been to.
Had not heard this beautiful ballad till 2024. Allison is amazing and the Dirt Band with her is country music perfection. This is truly country music at its absolute best. It's forever in my playlist now.
Oh my, there are so many musicians, singer-songwriters, out there but in relative obscurity. A bunch of those people are women who have been redefining bluegrass, and country. I don't know where to start with a list, but let me know if you are interested and I will point you in the direction of folks playing some badass songs and such. One thing, have you ever seen Sierra Hull play mandolin and sing? She was helped up into the music industry by performing with Alison Krauss when she (Sierra) was in about the 2nd grade. Alison was brought up and out into prominence in the same way; very young. Sierra Hull is all grown up now, still playing mandolin with her band, performing, and blazing new trails for women, in bluegrass and mandolin playing. Both of those fields have been male dominated for a very long time.
Wayne Riley I have seen the Petersen Family Band. They are good. Thank you. Still, Alison Krauss and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band are at the highest level.
@@wriley4409 I agree brother. Check out their bios www.petersenband.com/bandbios/ Also The Franz family, Southern Raised, The Haygood family. Lots of talent in Branson
My beloved late husband, for our first date 25 years ago, went and saw Allison at a small county fair. Had never heard her before and said the same thing to Terry, she has the voice of an angel. Her CD has been playing when I get in the car for about a year.
No group of musicians could have done this better. Perfect background instruments with sweet harmonizing vocals. Love this song. Don't get them much anymore.
What a beautifully harmonized rendition of a Blue Grass standard. Man...so lovely it brings a tear to the eyes of anyone who appreciates the sweet versatility of American music, and the diversity of cultures it represents.😢
Interesting that this song was written in the 70's, and I heard it for the first time yesterday. Or maybe I heard it when I was young, but don't remember it.
What a wonderful sound, a song I could listen to for hours! Classic Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.... And Alison Krause remains my most favorite female vocalist, her voice is a gift!
OOOOOEEEE!!!! BUT MY WATER WORKS ARE FLOWING LIKE THE OL' ATCHAFALAYA EVEN AS I WIPE AND SWIPE AND DRY ONLY TO RESTART AGAIN WITH THE WATERWORKS........ONLY TO FLOW AGAIN....ADD "OLD RIVERS BY WALTER BRENNAN AND I WOULD NOT GET TO MOVE FROM THIS RECLINER! SING ALLISON SING OUT GIRL !!
Alison Krauss is my favorite female singer of any genre. Truly, the voice of an angel. The musicians she plays with are the best of the best. Yes, perfection.
Sean Edwards Sean Edwards hmmmm a lot of competition there, in fact sorry but trumped by anita carter and eva cassidy, alison is professional but those other two have the soul
Though she was never country or bluegrass & i myself didn't listen to them i would have to say the late Karen Carpenter also had that above everyone else type of special voice that is rare as hens teeth. Also can't leave out another golden voice in the late Sandy Denny.
I’m a skinhead have been most of my life. I’m 56 now scar music has always been my thing. This is a beautiful song played and sung with absolute perfection. Regards from south London England 🏴
@@Elizabeth-iu2jr I see your comment is one month old, and hasn’t been liked. That’s a sad shame, so I liked it. Actually I loved it, but unfortunately there isn’t a box for that! 😊 I like a variety of genres too. This particular music surprised me because it made my eyes tear up! Very few songs affect me that strongly. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has been one of my very favorites though, so that may have been an influence. Anyway, you seem like a nice lady about my age with great taste in music, so I had to reply and like your comment. I think I might be flirting with you, and that would be a silly thing to do on utube. But what the heck. There is no harm done. 😊 Have a very nice day!
In heaven I so hope I can listen to angels singing like this. Allison about the best we've got. Damn I wish I had made a play for her long time ago when I was young strong buck.
Allison's beautiful voice with GREAT harmony.....singing a Great song......GREAT musicians......Oh My!! Jerry Douglas on dobro.....need I say more? This should be a SMASH HIT ♥ heard WORLDWIDE!!
The NGDB has all it takes to interpret a great song well: rhythm, melody, phrasing, timing and stage presence. With sticks and strings and such the band creates Beauty! One poignant song and flawless performance. I'm blessed!
I was fortunate (privileged really) to hear the Dirt Band and Alison at the 50th anniversary concert of the Dirt Band in 2016. When Alison sang this song, it brought tears to my eyes, as it does every time I hear her sing. Great song, Beautiful lady, heavenly voice.
Then you get it my friend. This was written in '72 and obviously meant to bring unity. I live in Vicksburg, I am a white male and don't subscribe to any form of racism. Slowly things are changing. I live in Vicksburg, MS and see a lot of love between whites and blacks. I also see a lot of ignorant people stuck in backwards mentalities, both black and white. Like I said, things are changing slowly but surely. Actions speak louder than words, and as long as some of us continue to bring love, that backwards thinking will dissolve.
When I found this, I loved it and still do. I must have played it 100 times and will do some more. These people are each SO talented on their own. Then put together they are INCREDIBLE! Could use a lot more of this kind of music done so well.
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
The NGDB are my 'seventies' heroes...had every album of them turned grey..... this combination of voices of Jeff Hanna & Alison Krauss is near to perfect. Great performance and good to see my 'buddies' again.... Go Dirt !
I saw the NGDB back in the early 70’s. One of the best concerts I ever attended. They were great, super high quality and even played 3 encores. I have been a fan ever since.
28 Grammy Awards, the most in history by any female. I remember back when she cut “Steel Rails”. She was 19 years old. She’s come a long way. Truly talented.
She ain't no slouch on the fiddle either. I recall the first time I saw here she was so shy it was PAINFUL. She still isn't the most gregarious person you'll ever meet, but as a musician she has few peers.
A perfect little masterpiece. Alison so delicate and understated. Douglas' tiny statements between lines are pure joy. And Jeff Hanna can sing anything at all. Why has NGDB not received more acclaim?
No huge originals, maybe? They made hits of Bojangles and Pooh Corner. And they made the Circle album. Those of us who were around knew their legacy. "Pick it, doc," was perhaps the best line any of them ever delivered (Way Downtown).
How can a simple song with 3 chords in 4/4 time be so moving? One word - talent. Great lyrics (RIP Johnny Russell). Great band with fantastic harmony vocals (NGDB). Talented musicians (Randy Scruggs, Jerry Douglas, and Alison Krauss) who use their talent to complement the song instead of outdoing each other or showing us how good or how fast they are. The best voice on the planet sings the song. No auto tune or other electronic help. No light show, no dancers, just music. And it was live..... That, my friends is talent. Many of today’s singers could not tune the instruments for to the talent on display in this video. Incredible performance.
Approximately 60 years ago I saw a nitty gritty dirt band on a sidewalk in Fairfax Virginia in front of Giant Music across the street from Jim McKay Chevrolet. Mr Bojangles had just been released and they were promoting it on AM radio. They also had a washboard and a wash tub base at that time. Truly acoustic
It just doesn't get much more harmonious than that. I get chills hearing such beautiful voices blending. Why didn't those people ever make some records together?
LISTEN TO THIS COMPLETELY TO TRAVEL HEAVENWARDS.......Such perfection is completely rare. Each instrument is distinctively recognizable while the collective sound is pure heaven. This version of the song perhaps is the best out there. The combination of all the unassuming people like Alison Krauss and the great Jerry Douglas adds to the charm. I can keep listening back to back multiple times. Thanks, František Oldsweat
Pure gold! Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band should all be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Music from a simpler time that we will never get back. The lessons learned back then are ones we have forgotten, it's truly sad😢
The average attention span is probably a fifth what it used to be. I think it’s why so many people head down these dead end streets.
The phenomenal success of Billy Strings is a huge surprise, selling out arenas with .. bluegrass? So cool, but success has a way of making folks a lot more inaccessible.

@bobjones6572 Those examples are not mainstream country!!! Like Willie, Waylon, Johnny and Grorge. Outlaw country still lives
No twerking. No lip synching. No auto tune. Nothing but straight out talent.
Quite right. Back in the old days Johnny Russell did far too much twerking when he sang this. Very distracting.
And she wears clothes as well!
@@navigator487
I don’t know what you’re referring to.
Please explain.
No flashy lights or gimmicks, just pure talent ❤️
A lovely song - Alison Krauss has a fantastic voice and a lovely smile.

Nice. Looking. To
IN ALL MY 66 YEARS HERE ON EARTH, IVE NEVER HEARD AN ANGEL SING , WELL, I HAVE NOW !
Amen Brother!
Well said...Amen
So naturally awesome!!
Amen.
I actually cried after reading your comment. I'm 62.
Good solid and pure country/bluegrass style ballad song...so true, sweet, and pure song🤗
See them smiling … don’t think they care about who’s the best .. it’s all about being together in tune music and heart!

no thumbs doen
They aren't morons..
Just voicing their opinions
Thumbs up their awse!
What a beautiful down to earth sound and lyrics.
More and more I'm coming to appreciate that when Allison sings with anybody, it's going to be exceptional. What great musical talent on that stage!!
My wife and I saw her in the symphony hall here in Huntsville. It was truly sublime. I have seen a good many famous artists over the years, but that may well have been the best concert I've ever been to.
Unfortunately we are looking into the eyes of the sun.
I felt old when this was on PBS. It is great.
😂Great song, from Midlothian, Texas

The purest, most wonderful harmony you’ll ever hear!
Brings happy tears 😅
Alison Krauss with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is exquisite. Who else will keep this music alive?

Beautiful vocals by Allison. So much good feeling projected by Allison.
Singers as good as Allison Krauss only come to Earth once a century

No group of musicians could have done this better. Perfect background instruments with sweet harmonizing vocals. Love this song. Don't get them much anymore.
I don't know, I sure like Jerry Garcia's way of doing this song. For most of my life I thought that he had written it. Which is kind of funny.
@@jackwalker1822 Garcia was schooled by Douglas. Its beautiful all the way around

This is the best country band you can assemble.
The Dirt Band and Ricky Scaggs were my gateway drugs into country music back in the 80's.
Allison Does A Wonderful Job With This Classic Johnny Russell Song.
I’m so happy to see Randy Scruggs up on your stage. May he RIP.

The finest rendition ever, by all parties, Allison Krause an especially classy Lady.

Can't get any better than this.

So true Linda ☺😊😀
In many respects, in the hands of many good people, still is. Who needs petty pessimism?
If there's a singer with a more angelic voice than Alison Krauss, I'm unaware of her.
Eva Cassidy has a hauntingly beautiful voice also . They are different genres , so I am not comparing them . They are both Heavenly Singers 💖💖💖
She's a bit better than okay. Pretty good 👍
It's very nice. I like it the musicians are excellent
There isn't Stephen !!
Anita carter of the carter family had a beautiful voice
Alison Krauss is my favorite female singer of any genre. Truly, the voice of an angel. The musicians she plays with are the best of the best. Yes, perfection.
Yes she does have the voice of an angel and the face of one too.

Alison Krauss pits so much heart and soul into this I get a lump in my throat every time I listen to it. What a treasure she is.
" pits " ???
Glad to have researched this song here.I like country ,and being black, I feel some sentiment to it.
Country doesn't have a "color"...we're all the same inside
Bill Kammerzell the Bible says we were all born of the same blood
This is bluegrass, not country. This song shows the magic of bluegrass. Really glad you like it

IMO, Alison Krauss is closer to God right now than i'll ever be, dead or alive.
Alison is perfect! She is always on key, and has a great vocal range. Beautiful song!
DEAD-ON perfect pitch...right in the center of every note ...
She ain't no slouch on the fiddle either. I recall the first time I saw here she was so shy it was PAINFUL. She still isn't the most gregarious person you'll ever meet, but as a musician she has few peers.

A perfect little masterpiece. Alison so delicate and understated. Douglas' tiny statements between lines are pure joy. And Jeff Hanna can sing anything at all. Why has NGDB not received more acclaim?
They had a good bit of acclaim, quite a bit actually, when I was in HS 45 years ago! Consummate musicians and performers.
No huge originals, maybe? They made hits of Bojangles and Pooh Corner. And they made the Circle album. Those of us who were around knew their legacy. "Pick it, doc," was perhaps the best line any of them ever delivered (Way Downtown).

Incredible performance.
One correction. Johnny Russell had the original recording but the song was written by Bob McDill and Allen Reynolds.
Absolutely beautiful!!!
The sheer concentration of talent in one place at one time is hard to bear....

I love any song with Jerry Douglas playing on it!
I love Alison's music so much! At our wedding I walked down the aisle to "When you say Nothing at All"
The harmonies. Oh. The harmonies
It just doesn't get much more harmonious than that. I get chills hearing such beautiful voices blending. Why didn't those people ever make some records together?
Yes, absolutely exquisite vocal harmonies. Beautiful performance.
I've only recently come across this song and love it, Alison Krauss has a voice of silk and would rate her voice amongst the best,
Best version ever heard. Outstanding!
