I'm posting this solely because the RUclips algorithm dictates that videos that people comment on get the most recognition and you deserve that recognition and I can't think of what to say. Fantastic song, fantastic video, good job.
I recently got to play a Bajo, the only thing I could think to try and play was How Come That Blood. Although it wasn't a Bajo Sexto, I was hoping some spirit would posses me and I would be able to come up with a rugged version. Regardless, I always find myself returning to your music and it's impact upon me, as well as my love and admiration for folk. Hope to see you live someday.
Love this version--and there are ripe blueberries (and three ravens) right now on Bare Mountain, next to Atkins Farm--we ate a bunch (of blueberries, not ravens), but there are plenty more.
When I lived in Maine I knew of a granite ridge with water at the top (!) and knew of some secret blueberry bushes up there in a sunny patch that would ripen outside of the season. I can beat your tick story, but have no count, horrible creatures. Got into my wool socks during a hike and didn't find them until that night. My feet looked like ostrich skin.The Bajo is awesome with the lower strings acting as drones. An absolute funky groove....
This is such a unique edge! Awesome playing eh! You definitely were way ahead of the whole reality explosion. Wishing you the best were ever you might be these days! Wicked awesome eh. Congrats.
I've used this song to introduce you to so many people now, but hadn't come across the video. I love the way you always share something else in your videos as well; a view, a bird...I didn't expect to see sundews!
Hey Tim. Fantastic as ever! A variation on the song 'The Sun and the Moon' that you did beautifully with Cordelia's Dad many years ago. In Ireland this song goes by the title' Who Put The Blood'. Awesome Clip.
Top to bottom ist's g-g/c-c/g-g/Eb-eb/Bb-bb/C-c. Does that make sense? The top three courses are unisons, the bottom three are in octaves as on a 12 string guitar.
Yeah, it's kind of a strange tuning. from the top down it's (approximately) g-c-g-E-Bb-C. The top three courses are unisons, the bottom three in octaves (as is usual) but the 6th course is pitched higher than the 5th. Hope that helps...
Beautiful! And I can beat the tick story: 3 of my girlfriends and I went to a Renaissance Faire in New Hampshire once, all dressed to the hilt in ye olden costumes. The Faire was a bit of a downer, so I suggested to take a walk in the woods and do some pagan rituals. We came across a barred path with a big fat sign warning of ticks, but I figured it was just a suggestion, so I persuaded the others to hop over the bar. When we got back to my friend's house where we were staying after an hour or so, we realized that we were covered in ticks, at least 30-40 each. We stripped right there in her garage and picked the ticks out of our clothes and each other's hair. Still can't live that one down. :)
I love this song, why isn't he more famous? I can read this song on 3 levels, not sure that any are intended but for me it makes a lot of sense. I suppose when you stick to the good stuff and not commercialise it, it can remain more pure.
Glad you're enjoying it! I don't know, there's a lot of pretty commercially successful stuff that hits a similar spot, though i guess that's kind of a personal thing. I like Die Antwoord a lot, even if they're less hip than they were in 2010-ish.
They're too far for my tastes, I'm just on a bit of a cultural heritage buzz at the moment, it's sad how fast we can forget where we all come from. Sometimes it's the evolution of culture other times, the defacing.
@blueridger28 Yeah man- I've been joking about living in the Northern Appalachians, but I guess it's kind of true (geologically speaking). Either way, big inspiration from pretty small mountains....
Yeah man, bajo sexto is the next big thing in Northern Roots music. It's a wicked cool instrument that was invented, I believe, by our neighbors to the south (and I don't mean Jersey)....
Ah yeah, from the first line I thought I might know that tale. I know it as The Bonnie Hind. Interesting how in that song he comes from the sea, and his sister is his unfortunate victim, where here it is his brother, and he goes to the sea.
'Crossing over' the sea symbolises death to me, ,the grey hawk is his spirit, the hound his good nature, the mare his wife/love, his brother is himself or his brother/friend, the tree is the tree of life or the family tree, Dad is God and crossing the sea without return is because he cannot forgive himself... You could make a film about it. Maybe I've read way too much into it I do that sometimes. Maybe If I knew more about the origin of the song I wouldn't come to such an artful take on it. In the version where the sister is the unfortunate victim, makes more sense to me. That would explain the 'little nut tree'. Thanks for the hint 'The Bonnie Hind".

That’s so thoughtful! Thanks
Super stuff! I’m from England and my Texan friend told me about you - sounds amazing thank you for your offerings 😊
I'm fairly certain that you dont see these, but this song is my comfort...as ironic as it sounds. Thanks Mr. E.
That's great to hear! Thanks. It was a long time ago now
I'd ride that powerline trail to hear you, It's a long ride from where I live but it'd be worth it! I love your intro/outros!
It's on my upcoming album "Josh Billings Voyage" coming out in October. There's also a version on my album recorded live in the Czech Republic.
Hearing this song just made me cry. That doesn't happen very often. Thank you so much!

@@KawL1ga cool! Thanks for sharing that!
2009 was the last good year of my life.
I hope 2022 is the next one
@@TimEriksenMusicVideo thanks, man. that means a lot. i'll always appreciate your work on cold mountain.

Tim blows me away fellow punk rocker brothers forever.
Awesome to see some one else use a bajo sexto like this
Amazing performance!!!
Thanks!
Your music attacks every bottled feeling within me. Keep it up

One of my favourite ballads, known as "Edward" (Child No 13). Wonderful ballad, wonderful version but i've yet to hear a version I don't like.
Hey Tim. Fantastic as ever! A variation on the song 'The Sun and the Moon' that you did beautifully with Cordelia's Dad many years ago. In Ireland this song goes by the title' Who Put The Blood'. Awesome Clip.
The easteren hill country is a buetiful place for inspiration. Lived in the BlueRidge all my life.
Sounds awesome
I have a bunch of shows this summer, though mostly in Europe. The info's on my website...
Just awesome. The reminds me of the amazing musicians out of western africa.
Top to bottom ist's g-g/c-c/g-g/Eb-eb/Bb-bb/C-c. Does that make sense? The top three courses are unisons, the bottom three are in octaves as on a 12 string guitar.
Tim Eriksen Music it sounds like an Egyptian oud with that tuning.
this is really nice stuff. what a find.
@batfancy there will be a ton of us from Ashe co NC attending i cant wait.
Man...that is awesome, TIM!
LOVE it.
You remind me quite a bit of Todd Menton, the lead singer of Boiled In Lead. Would advise anyone who enjoys music to look them up.
Love your channel.
I really love it, thank u, Tim. :)

Are you standing in that giant puddle? One of my favorites of yours.
@blueridger28 I'm gonna be there on Feb. 12 for the Fiddle Convention at Appalachian State!
Do you ever get down to Boone N.C. any? I would love to check out a live show
"Stunning", is really the only way I can describe this.
I truly love you
Please come to the Twin Cities!
Does anyone know if there a tab or general chord progression for this anywhere? I desperately want to find a way to play this on mandolin.
what's the tuning? i can't figure it out! it's not standard bajo sexto tuning right? is there an open chord???
That looks good to me. I don't really use any chords, but it seems like those could work just fine, especially if you like them...
Sounds nice :3

Greetings from germany, Tim...
Whats going on my man when are you touring again?
sure do. They're gonna blow up.
dunno, but probably pretty old. The story is for sure, both as a song and a fact of life.
Whats you Guitar tuned to in this?

In the version where the sister is the unfortunate victim, makes more sense to me. That would explain the 'little nut tree'. Thanks for the hint 'The Bonnie Hind".
like it prof :-)
What brand is this bajo sexto?
come to canada tim
USA, but the story goes way back and shows up in the British Isles and beyond.
sun n moon n raunch !
@batfancy sweet ill be there
Is this on any of your albums?
"Edward" on a bajo sexto dulcimer. Shades of John Jacob Niles. A bit less weird and better.
sundews! mountain laurel!
Alan stivell
@batfancy Please, for the love of God, come back!
