Found this after getting completely enveloped in La Lom, and it's incredibly inspiring. You have an amazing range as an instrumentalist and a wonderful voice as well.
Very haunting version of the song. Notice the deer that appears around 4:40 and listens for a long time...to the end of the song. Right above Zac's head, between the trees.
A lot of comments on your videos talk about your playing (which is excellent) but I love your voice as well. This harsher style of vocals isn't heard enough in traditional music today. Been coming back to this one a lot since you posted it.
@@ZacSokolow For what it's worth, it sounds to me like like the recorder's getting a little overloaded, volume-wise, which is leading to clipping. Reducing the volume/gain on the recorder or moving it back a bit might fix it. This might be obvious to you, so apologies if it is redundant. Anyways, great version and as others have said the overload creates an almost-appropriate sound anyways - oldtime players like Roscoe Holcomb sounds pretty damn harsh and it's awesome.

Wow........ absolutely jaw dropping rendition.
This is the best. Always looking forward to your new posts but I've been coming back to this one especially often.
Love your songs Zac! Keep on plucking!
You got it!What I call "resonance"...it rings true.
Well done!
beautiful rendition! Unfortunately the audio sounds a little harsh. Wish I could have heard it live!
Thanks! I mostly learned it from the way Banjo Bill Cornett recorded it. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to record audio for these videos.
Tbh I think it sounds great, very fitting for the music, sounds much older then it’s, how did you record this?
@@TheFolkRevival Thanks, Caj. I was using a little Tascam portable digital field recorder.

@@wychwoodmusic To add to that, there are ways to fix audio clipping in post if you want to bother with that.
Sounds like banjo bill Cornetts version
Bill Cornett’s version was great. There was another east Kentucky banjo player named Jim Couch who recorded it with the melody kinda like that.
