This song demonstrates just how beautiful her voice is. Her range and pitch is perfection.
Your summation is spot on.
I was waiting for that moment. I cry every time I hear her sing this song. So plaintive, so powerful.
Alison's voice is straight from heaven!
What makes this song even sadder is that it's true. Look up the Lost boys of the Alleghennies. Congrats to your neice on her graduation.
I actually live right by the monument, we take visitors all the time to see the monument and then head over to Pavia to the cemetery. I have a friend that is so awesome at telling the story of this.
Its located in the Blue Knob state Park in Pa
Just found your video and absolutely subscribed I like your videos but I didn't know if you knew that this was a true story as story as the comment below stated. It is one that haunts everyone who hears the song and knows the story. I live just mere half hour from where it occurred and it all occurred and I know it is never stopped haunting stopped climbing everyone who knows it. Keep up the good work and of course Allison is an angel.
What hits hardest is when you learn that this song is based on a true story. This song is excellently executed!
Krauss has perfect pitch,, this extremely rare,, this talent evokes an emotional response from humans,, it’s a very rare talent,,, her voice is accompanied by such a legendary band ,is chilling to say the least
Her voice just melts me everytime
What a good song! Perfect. It is an emotional one. I have 4 babies and it's every mommas' nightmare. Great reaction Don❤
This song is based on true events that actually happened. Nobody can deliver a haunting song like Allison. There is a reason she has won more grammys than any other performer with 27
Yes, it stunned me when I heard this was based on true events.
@@DoBeLove I wondered about that so I looked it up. Unfortunantly you are correct. But from my Understanding traditionally alot of Blue Grass songs were about true events. Maybe you have read this. But just in case.bluegrasstoday.com/the-story-behind-the-song-jacobs-dream/
Nothing else to say, but, BEAUTIFUL voice telling a TRAGIC story. I am a forever fan of this lady and band. Peace.
@Suzanne Anderson Amen, and welcome to the channel. :-)
As close to perfect as you can get!!!
Wow. Her voice just cuts through to you. I think she is the same age as me.
She was around since the nineties. Very underrated.
@Richard Hogenson Yes, she is incredible-she leaves me speechless. But I will say that I don’t think she’s underrated since she’s won just about every award there is to win and everybody wants her to sing on their album. From what I understand she’s fairly private about her life, so perhaps her lack of notoriety is because she likes to be out of the spotlight when she’s not performing. But what a gift to the music world she is. I hope she protects her voice, and I imagine she has a voice coach who is helping her with that.
I've seen her perform twice-once solo, at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival, and once with Robert Plant during their Raising Sand tour. She's just as good live, if not better. It takes a special performer to go toe-to-toe with Robert Plant, who owns whatever stage he walks onto. Did I mention the opening act was T-Bone Burnett's band? Heaven.
This song was gut wrenching
Not enough is said for the song writers of a song this powerful so masterfully done. The song was written by Julie Lee & John Pennell before Alison Krause and her musicians could put their exquisite touches on it. This is the only song I can remember that made me physically weep.
My son would beg me not to play it. It was too sad.
I love Alison Krouss with Union Station!!!! Great song. She can sing anything!!! She has a soul for lyrics and Bluegrass.
@Teresia Diane Well stay tuned for the bluegrass part of Alison's repertoire, coming soon to a RUclips channel near you. Ha!!
This is based on a true story more heart wenching than the song it’s about the Lost Children of the Alleghenies.
Love Allison and her soft voice
This song gets me every single time. Based on true events. Alison captures the torment of the children's parents so completely.
If you haven't watched the DVD version by now, I recommend it. It includes Ms. Krauss' comments on the writing and performing of the song, and I think you'd find the process interesting. It's on "A Hundred Miles Or More: Live from the Tracking Room."
9:05 "This was a two-hour movie condensed into 4 or 5 minutes." So true!
This is a true story of the Allegheny children. I don't know how the parents made it through that.
FWIW, its based on a real story too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Children_of_the_Alleghenies
That woman can sing anything... but that song is just amazing... and the band are one of the best Americana bands around... that was heart breaking....
Alison reported that when she first tried to sing this song she broke down several times before she could finish it! She is such an angel and I pray that she lives long enough to witness the return of our Savior, Jesus Christ who is the ONLY one who loved us so much that He died on a cross in order that our sins could be forgiven.
Wow, what a song! Allison has been one of my favorites for a couple of decades now. She really has the voice of an angel. Great reaction and analysis. Having grown up listening to bluegrass and country, I’m pretty used to these kind of tragic songs. They are actually a recurring theme in mountain music. Keep up the great work.
Love your videos....
I love Allison Krauss and Union Station.
Congratulations to your neice LIndsay.
@Karin Partin Thank you---I will tell her you said that!!
Hey, Don:
Great analysis. You are so right about the mesh between vocalist, musicians and lyrics. This type of song is Alison's bailiwick - a folk song based on a true story from the Allegany Mountains. As the story is told from the perspective of a deceased boy, there is that haunting element, which Alison delivers brilliantly. As she tells this story, her tone and the ethereal notes from Stuart Duncan's picking compels the listener to follow along. Her angelic voice is apropos considering that the story emanates from a small boy who is now in heaven. Although, the song is sad and chilling, it offers the hope of an afterlife. To wit, the only Union Station member on this track is the bassist, Barry Bales. Stuart Duncan is a Bluegrass session musician and a member of the Nashville Bluegrass Band. He can play fiddle, mandolin, banjo and guitar. This was a solo project for Alison and I believe that she felt that there was more power in the simplicity of the musical background. Let the story drive the narrative.
@Will Deloach Thanks for the education and perspective---seriously good stuff right there! And thanks for the clarification on the musicians and that it wasn't Union Station. You know your stuff!
When my wife heard her voice "Angelic" ...yes...indeed
Absolutely loved your summation.
@Joe Baltic Thanks for the kind words, and glad you enjoyed it. Welcome aboard the channel!!
Oh my goodness Don. What an equisite gut wrenching story sung by one of the most beautiful women I know. Her voice is divinely pure. Her band is phenomenal.
Loved your choice of this song and spot on reaction.
Good to see you again. Proud for Lindsey❤👍
Blessings, Pam
@Pamela Hammons So good to see you in here whenever we get to see you!! I'll pass along your words to Lindsey, so thank you for those. As for Alison, she's other-worldly. I mean, what else is there to say, right? :-)
@@RockN2Country Absolutely Right!
Beautiful haunting story sung by an angel! I know we're not supposed to talk about religious/spiritual stuff anymore because its not PC. But why? One of the most important subjects on the planet is just supposed to hushed? Are we really that primitive that we are unable to simply share and compare instead of fight and argue? When I was a younger man and faced with some things that brought on a sort of existential crisis, I decided I need to read every sacred book from every culture and time period on the planet. Of course there were some folks that discouraged this endeavor as they believed it would only confuse and weaken my faith. But I stood fast and stayed true to that goal...took many years as some books I had to read several times to really understand. I even read all fifty-something books of the Nag Hammadi which was no light reading! During this time I also prayed, meditated, and dreamed(some lucid, some not) alot. I also engage in ceremony that took on new and deeper levels than it had ever before (my primary "religion" comes from a mix of Choctaw and Mayan teachings) And yes, I'm a half breed with my other side being Scots-Irish. But back to what I gained...what I learned...what I believe. There is definitely an active Creator God that is personally involved in our lives. There is also an afterlife...I don't think any one book has been able to describe it correctly. I would say the movie "What Dreams may Come" is surprisingly the closest! The only way to ever achieve a sense of true peace is to pursue a relationship with your Creator...doesn't really matter what path you choose...just go with honesty and determination
(and beware of false paths)!
Disclaimer: I'm just sharing my journey, if it offends you, I apologize. Please do not respond if you just want to argue but I would love to hear your story! :-)
@David Emswiler I completely agree that we should be able tot all about things without folks freaking out, especially if someone is merely sharing their own journey with others. Nobody who hears it needs to believe, accept, or whatever it, but public discourse seems to have too much of an "I don't want to hear anything that disagrees with what I'm used to hearing or what I want to hear" dynamic to it. It used to bother some of the folks with whom I used to hang out (we shared many similar theological views at the time) when I told them I could walk through a Buddhist temple, a shrine to the God/Goddess of Whackadoodles, and it wild;t change me one bit. My beliefs are mine and I'm comfortable in them, and don't care what someone else believes for the simple reason that I can handle my own. For some reason this approach upsets some people, but so be it. My take in life is simple: If someone is kind, thoughtful, and perhaps even generous, I will like that person a lot regardless of political or religious views. If people stopped making it a part-time or full-time job of being offended, we'd be so much better off. My closest friends are in some of their beliefs diametrically opposed to mine, and we love each other dearly. So net-net, I'm totally cool with discussion just as you are. And BTW, the Choctaw thing is fascinating, and I gotta admit, makes me a little jealous. Ha!!
@@RockN2Country You're a good man and just described the America I'd like to keep living in. I think our easy access to most anything we want at almost any income level has made us soft. Or maybe spoilt is a better word! Times get tough and suddenly alot of folks are about two feet shorter. That's okay, maybe a few will actually follow-through with their bedside bargaining. I'll have to work in some of the Elder's stories into my comments in the future...most are funny, some are sad, but all teach very important lessons.
@David Emswiler You are so right about being spoiled!!! I've been telling my friend (she lives in NYC, and we're really close) that we have so much in America that it's given us the luxury of nitpicking the crap out of each other and things we don't like. The things I see people complaining about would absolutely shock 95% of the world's population, who are just trying to eat or find drinkable water or get of North Korea's labor camps. We have so much, but greed has a way of making enemies of people when they start picking at the margins. As for the stories, bring 'em on!
I identify as a secular atheist, moral relativist, lean towards social liberalism politically. Much of the world of country identify with beliefs and values that are very different from what I believe in.
I think it is valuable to get to know others, where they come from, and like you and RockN2Country I am secure enough in my values that they are not threatened by acknowledging that others can have a different view and different values. I am fine with there being two opinions in a room with two people.
On my facebookwall I often post three music videos at the time with a common theme. My next theme is God and guns. Coming from Norway it is a connection I can not find in our local Christian denominations, quite the opposite, so it is interesting to notice that cultural difference. How can you with the same religious startingpoint end up with so wildly different expressions? It is also a connection I disagree with, but again respect that others see it differently. I have also enjoyed looking at the Scottish/Irish influence in states like Kentucky, religious, relationship with the state, family values, respect for hard work, and try to understand where are people coming from. For some reason many of the artists I like come from Kentucky. Country to me is a travel in a different culture and it is very enriching, as much as it is an enjoyment of good music.
The three videos I plan to post is : Aaron Lewis - God and Guns, Ashley McBride - the bible and a 44, Whiskey Myers - Ballad of a southern man. The two latter show the nostalgia and family history of guns.Something I lack in my history.
Basically what I am saying is we can be different but at the same time be good people wanting to do good.
@@Seneca_creek You sound like a deep thinker and I can appreciate that...the reality humans chose for themselves is complicated and filled with subtle nuances that must be understood to nurture the level of empathy needed not only to understand each other but to prevent such things as violent crime and even war. Your upcoming theme sounds like a challenge! I'm curious what you find and how you rationalize something so opposed to your current worldview. More specifically, is something like peace attained by acting and treating others peacefully as Jesus suggested or is conflict and struggle simply so instilled in the dynamics of our universe that peace becomes only a manmade construct attainable for short periods of time that exist between conflicts? For me, I lean towards the latter. My guns, my size, my dogs, and my fences keep the bad guys away. I've never been burglarized or mugged in my life while our little newspaper reports numerous thefts and break-ins every week. To play devil's advocate...what if I simply opened my doors and gave everything away? That would surely keep the bad guys happy for awhile but what if they decided they want my two beautiful teenage daughters, or my wife, or even my organs? I think our wise Creator gave every lifeform a means of defending itself and its "family". We don't have lion's teeth or poisonous fangs...but we do have guns! Of course this is just my red-blooded American perspective...most of my ancestors would be considered peaceful people even though we spanked our kids, killed our food, and voted yes for the death penalty. Great topic you brought up...please keep us updated!
Beautiful song by Alison Krauss. Haunting. As always, vocals and storytelling are incredible. Union Station has never receive the credit they deserve. Loved it.
Not received the credit? 14 grammys each
@@reddragonready Didnt know they received 14, wow each. well deserved. just saying for new pp listening to AK, prob dont hear much about US. really talented
Sad song but beautiful told.It a take you to church song.
I love her voice so much!! Great reaction as always!! Also Shout out to your niece Lindsey!! Tell her congrats!! I’m still banging this Fred Eaglesmith drum too.
@Jody Parrish I will tell her---thank you!!!!
Also based on a true event.
Allison's ethereal voice hits home this story of devestating loss tempered by faith in heaven. The Blackest Crow is another beautiful lament in the Appalachian and Ozark tradition. The best version, in my opinion is by Bruce Molsky and Julie Fowliss. You may never have heard of them, but it's not because they aren't wonderful singer musicians . Bruce is American. Julie is Scotish. Probably mine will be the only request for this, but I hope that won't stop you from at least listening for your own pleasure. It's right there handy on You Tube!
Great analysis to an amazing song!
@Barry Ray Thank you, and welcome to the channel!
Congrats to you Lindsey,(Dons niece). What a talented and beautiful voice also a beautiful lady. Her and Emmy Lou gots it going on.
@Chr¡sty Renee' Thank you!! I'll pass it along to Lindsey. As for Alison and EmmyLou, amen!!
Alison always delivers. You should listen to Whiskey Lullably by her and Brad Paisley it tells a tale of love betrayal and heartbreak
Ha that's a great line.."the Meryl Streep of vocalists"!
@reddragonready Thanks! I was hoping someone would pick up on it! And welcome to the channel!!
@@RockN2Country Thank you! I enjoy your picks to react to. It's nice to see someone doing such videos to the wider Country genre. And i noticed before you have a way with words. :-)
Wow!
Not gonna lie, went on a bit of a binge watching your videos. Awesome to see someone checking out what's left of good country now days. You should check out Tennessee Jet!! Hes got several great songs. If I had to pick a couple for you, Never Forget, and What Kind of Man. Definitely worth a listen! Same for Ward Davis! Keep on doing what you're doing brother.
She has o voice like an 👼
This a great song and the artist in awesome.
Have you heard Brad Paisley and Alison's Whiskey Lullaby? What a story and haunting too . you nail it about the instrumentation and vocals that is what is so phenomenal about Alison Kraus and Union Station
Well, you know I love Alison. She’s just incredible... great choice. Btw this is a true story. Check out The Lost Children of The Alleghenies(sp?). No one could’ve told that story like her.
PS congrats to your niece.
@Jody Jaques Thank you---I will tell Linz you sent your regards!!
Please check out Discovering Pennsylvania on you tube. Lost children of the Alleghenies wm. There is an even more disturbing aspect of this story. Their neighbors turned against them. Please read it.
another song that you might check out that really matches instrument/vocals is UNCLE LUCIUS "keep the wolves away"
I've got one for you - this guy is going to be up and coming...only 4k views, but man he is amazing. Charles Wesley Godwin - "Here In Eden"
- would love to see your reaction!
I think Allison once sang the Nashville phone book and got a couple grammies. At least that is what I heard.
Anything by Alison is awesome! I have a great song for you to react to, whiskey lullaby by Jon Randall, he wrote the song.
If only Karen Carpenter could have lived to sign with her.
This isn't Union Station, except for the bassist, Barry Bales. The guitarist I don't reconize but the mandolin player is Sam Bush. The best.
I agree,Don.
I actually hear a bit of Scots-Irish tune in that beautiful haunting song.
There is no doubt in my heart and mind about eternal life in heaven.
I agree with both of your statements :-)
Can you do Old number seven by The devil makes three?
Good on Jacob's dream, now how about a novelty? Johnny's song (search
Workshop Sessions: Dag Sindre Vagle -Johnny´s Song). Something as rare as a Nowegian murder ballad.
I'm gonna keep commenting it on each video until you do it: You should do a reaction to Ruston Kelly: "Mockingbird" or "Faceplant"
The song is sad enough just as a song.
Unfortunately, the song is based on a true story. Those little boys were actually lost in the state of Pennsylvania. And yes, they were found dead after a massive search. They were found well outside the search area.
I actually like the rest of the songs on a Hundred miles or more better
@tom ray Which is a testament to how good that album must be! And welcome to the channel, BTW!
This is such a sad and a haunting song! Allison did such a beautiful job singing this!
Sadly this is based on a true story that happened back in the 1850s!! The mother and father was suspected of doing something to their two young boysTheir home was practically torn apart by people trying to search for the boys!. In those days many people were accused of witchcraft? Nice reaction!
Jacob Dibert, died in prison at Point of Rocks, Virginia, October 26, 1864. I wonder why?
@@skipperrussell2025 I wonder too…t.hose poor little boys
@@skipperrussell2025 Seriously? HE DIED IN A PRISON CAMP IN THE CIVIL WAR!!!!!! You need help. That man was also attacked for helping out and he didn't even know the area- HIS WIFE did. You are terrible to make such a baseless assumption - one based on your own lack of research skills. People have dreams like this all the time- scoff all you want. That reward money???? he didn't accept it and it was given to their family.... Geez, what a fail!
