I was in the Navy 1969-1973 stationed at NAVCOMSTA-WASH working in the Pentagon. Lots of greats were singing around Washington, D.C. then....Emmylou Harris, John Denver with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, even Roberta Flack. When I hear a song by any of them, I can't get it out of my head for days. I was born in the coal fields so a lot of that music sounds like home. EmmyLou always looks like an angel when she sings.
Try to live in at least one bluegrass or Americana festival in your life, whether you like this music or not. Spend as much time as you can in the performer camping area. Music played only by the love of the everyday people right there with you is life-changing.
"I'm a frustrated librarian. Rather than be a banjo picker or steamboat pilot, I'd like to be some guy who sits behind a desk and goes 'shh!'" I'd like to hear where that conversation went. 😊
There's lots about John Hartford on RUclips. It's worth seeking out. He was an amazing, multi-talented man and he really did have the most amazing archive in his house by the river.
The white volvo station wagon seen @ 2:30 was used to pick up Ralph Stanley from the airport. I bought it from the lady who drove him in November, 2001. I totaled it six weeks later on Christmas Day.
This whole video is great. But man, when John starts playing his fiddle @1:11:42, it put serious chills down my arms. The passion and spirit he had for that music always inspires me when I hear him play. RIP John Hartford!
NYC boy who hated Country and especially Bluegrass music; as a young boy my dad sent me to live with relatives in Virginia and North Carolina. I can't remember listening or hearing any music there, tho I know it must have been in the background prominently featured. Years and years later when Rock, Hard Rock, and Acid Rock lost all their glitters, I noticed Country there as the foundations of the Blues (which I still love to this day) and even more foundational in there was Bluegrass music. It's an amazing form, way far underrated. These performers tip the scales quite heaviy in pure raw talent. I couldn't turn this video off, jaw dropping stuff.. Leave it to the Cohen brothers to find the beauty of it all. Numb and dazed by it.. btw.. John Hartford (now deceased) was the pillar on which this show rested as its touchstone. RIP John
I had the privilege of attending this show. The audience was almost as interesting as the show - I spotted Ricky Skaggs, Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, and Joel and Ethan Coen. I'm sure there plenty more.
All of mothers nature gifts that She will bless us with 😅 but I only use it.. FOR my arthritis, glaucoma, Rumatizum an soma Nia Head aches Stiffness, in all the wrong places and sometimes for General discomfort.
I loved more than anything seeing the fox family I grew up goin from bluegrass to bluegrass and I remember lil brother as a lil boy but then again we was all much younger back then y’all still sound just as beautiful as I remember
Watching again, and again over the years. The music is next to my heart, the songs of the mountains and the south, and the countryside. The singers and musicians are treasures.
yes, but i love her and her soooo hearttouching voice, esp. when she sings with dave rawlings. for me shes one of the most important singer in my musiclife. just a fine professional folkie
This "underrated" comment is so overused. Who is doing the rating here? I believe what you're getting at is that she is underappreciated. But in this day and age, how does one gauge appreciation? It sure isn't by record sales. She has a song about that on her revelator album, in fact. Check it out.
@@Lea99Jones I presumed it to be by those "rating" singers. There are a lot of those on youtube. Vocal coaches ( real and selfdeclared) who react to singers. Other than that I can only think the person meant critics?
Dr Ralph Stanley Bluegrass old time mountain style music 🎶 🎶 is revered here In Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 This whole movie Ring true 👍 😌 👌 The who who of bluegrass tis a feeling Similar to our own traditional Irish music When you hear it you know.. Righteous.. Thanks for sharing We are better human beings for having watched this lullaby&field holler.👍 😊 😀 🙂 🙏 ☺ 👍
This is music from your country, and others of Great Britain, Ralph Stanley is from the southern central Appalachian Mountains. It is the music his family played, predating Bluegrass. It came from the music the Scot-Irish, brought over in the 1700’s.
He's been my hero since he was a regular on (one of) The Smothers Brothers' Show(s) back in the (early 70s?) Somehow or another, the album _Mark Twang_ (1976) found its way into our household at about that time. And he was Glen Campbell's banjo picker, if I remember correctly. Those were good times for music.... According to Google, both tv series (and the Johnny Cash show) happened between 1968 and 1971. Before any of them was "Gentle on My Mind," which he wrote and recorded in the mid-60s. The GC version was in 1968, if I remember correctly.
Had the pleasure of seeing him perform and sit with a a small little bar in Hallowell Maine…in the 80’s I believe. What a great musician and an even better person?🥰
Wonderful, wonderful a treasure and historic but best of all fantastic people making astounding music. You Tube for me is the absolutely best thing on the net.
...there's some inexplicable magic going on there , maybe its the historic auditorium or god was looking down on Nashville that day , …its just too perfect , the dang thing's alive and live with not a note out of place , whew .. just incredible transceding music !
Ralph Stanley's "Death" makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It's amazing and I want that played [no one else could sing it like he did] at my funeral.
Same. I had the pleasure of seeing this live in Birmingham, AL when the tour was going on. And just like this, Dr. Stanley spotlit and acapella, and the crowd was absolutely silent. Goosebumps, even all these years later.
They didn't sing the signature song from the movie (I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow(s?))!? Brother Where Art Thou is a classic and got this Yankee boy hooked on the music. And now I know who Emmy Lou Harris IS! Now I have to watch the movie AGAIN!!! (I'm hooked on the dang thing!) I never get tired of watching it! (c=
Suzanne Cox has a really nice voice. I don't know as much about the Cox Family as I do some of the other artists, but they sound really good; certainly the best gospel/traditional family band I've ever heard.
The Cox Family performed at many bluegrass festival with the band I was in, Steve and Stacey Birdwell and the Deep South. I had the honor of playing upright bass at the St. Maurice Bluegrass Festival in St. Maurice, LA with Buck White and the Down Home Folks. I played the whole set with them and had never heard of Ricky Scaggs or Jerry Douglas. Unfortunately, on a trip back to Cotton Valley, an 18 wheeler hit their van head on. Willard's wife was killed instantly and Willard was in the hospital for a long time but, when released, he came home and played for a while but eventually he passed away, too.
Please check your facts before commenting. Willard and his wife were involved in a collision with a logging truck (they were stationary) in 2000 after which Willard was left in a wheelchair but his wife didn’t die until 2009 from breast cancer.
@@mooskamoo that's the way my dads parents died...and I would never bring this up but, I feel it. Grandpa died from a truck running a red light in Myrtle Beach and grandma was critical...but she held out. Unfortunately cancer three years after is how we lost the strongest women I have ever known
The lovely and amazing Alison Krauss. She is the ONLY singer who could, or ever should, sing the song " I Need You at the Dimming of the Day. No one else has ever done justice to it.
Great memories of the Cox family at concerts, and John Hartford as a pilot and entertainer on the Julia Belle Swain! Also Gillian Welch and David Rawlings at Merlefest!
Now this is one piece of musical gold dust , I have the dvd of the show and I think I nearly worn the poor thing out , so patrons of folk gold sit down and git the butterkist popcorn oot , and ENJOY

Brother Stanley’s voice is what we think is our grandparents sounded like. RIP to all those gentle folks.
Like a bracing breath of fresh air.
Amen brother!
He sounds like I remember old men singing in the Western Highlands of Scotland. It certainly is 'a lonesome sound'.
Absolutely beautiful
The John Hartford solo is just so heartbreaking. He knows, everyone knows, he is on his way out soon.
For you youngsters out there, the guy in the hat is John Hartford: banjo, fiddle, guitar. He wrote "Gentle On My Mind."
I always though Jimmy Webb wrote that- thanks for the info!
Man of the people
Tall Buildings - my!
He was an amazing, multi-talented man. Lots about him on RUclips - well worth seeking out.
Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch together... heaven
Anyone sounds better when accompanied by Emmylou Harris!
They are wonderful.
A special performance.
👍👍❤️🌺👍👍

Ralph Stanley is a national treasure, he will be memorialized in Nashville and the Smithsonian!
I'm 82 yrs young. Grew up with this music. Carries me back ! Beautiful, authentic true.

I born N.Z and live N.Z but 87-90 lived Cary NC. Did grade one and 2 there. I remember a bit. Seemed great to me.
Folks, it just don't get no better than this.
Rest in peace, Dr. Ralph Stanley and John Hartford!
Willard and Marie Cox of the Cox family.
what a delight it was, being the physician for the tour...still friends with most of the surviving members of the troupe...s
Lord have mercy! I hear music from the Scotland highlands, an Irish jig, and a whole of other music including MS blues! Love it all!
DONT FORGET CHOIRS FROM WALES….THE BEST!!
There just aren't enough fine words to adequately describe the collective performances of these consummate artists.
Amen!
Absolutely ! The talent in these artistes is the pinnacle .
I had the privilege of attending this show. The audience was almost as interesting as the show - I spotted Ricky Skaggs, Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, and Joel and Ethan Coen. I'm sure there plenty more.
Ralph Stanley- a cappella 👍👍👍👍💚💚💚💚
There is nothing more American than Emmylou Harris and Baseball
One of my cherished possessions is Ralph's autograph on the Oh brother Album I have,
Wonderful honor having the great John Hartford as master of ceremonies !!
Sad to see the cancer taking its toll on him.
missing "in constant sorrow....." - beautiful
My Dad played back Guitar for the Stanley Brothers in the late Fifties.
Proud to say George winn was my neighbor for 40 years ...listening to bluegrass is a way of life here
Husband and I just watched this from South Africa and totally enchanted by the all the music from the heart. Magic ❤
Oh I'm 81 but in my head 25 years old, still smoking all the ......
I'am 71 and I am a big fan of Jimmy Rodgers.I call it folk music. That
always makes music special.
I'm stickin' to, mountain music.
Maybe hill music 🎵🎶🎵🌄🏔️🤔
Oua' [s that one always makes me cry😢
All of mothers nature gifts that She will bless us with 😅 but I only use it.. FOR my arthritis, glaucoma,
Rumatizum
an soma Nia
Head aches
Stiffness, in all the wrong places and sometimes for
General discomfort.
I only wish there was a way to applaud for each song, rather than give a thumbs up. I would applaud every one of them!
This music awakens the soul
This music makes me puke.
Boy, that Mike Compton was all over this. One of my favorites.
In the background throughout the whole concert, fantastic performance!
i just love everything and everyone who worked this movie for us . love from iraq
I'm from the Missouri Ozarks this is the music I listened to from WSM 650 Grand Ole Opry it will always be endeared to me.
I loved more than anything seeing the fox family I grew up goin from bluegrass to bluegrass and I remember lil brother as a lil boy but then again we was all much younger back then y’all still sound just as beautiful as I remember
Cox family idk why my phone wants to change it to fox but they r the cox family just like my granny
There's nothin like Kentucky poor. Just so gripping music... Sad and blue. Great one.
Watching again, and again over the years. The music is next to my heart, the songs of the mountains and the south, and the countryside. The singers and musicians are treasures.
How wonderful to see John Hartford talking about his greatest love- The River.
I cried during that part. With chills.
One of the very few, privileged enough to have a riverboat pilots license!
We got lots of love for you John Prine
Gillian Welch is one of the most underrated vocalists in music today.
yes, but i love her and her soooo hearttouching voice, esp. when she sings with dave rawlings. for me shes one of the most important singer in my musiclife. just a fine professional folkie
Is she really? Next to whom?
I agree
This "underrated" comment is so overused. Who is doing the rating here?
I believe what you're getting at is that she is underappreciated.
But in this day and age, how does one gauge appreciation?
It sure isn't by record sales. She has a song about that on her revelator album, in fact. Check it out.

There is nothing on this earth like a Mother's love and often it brings out in them something like heaven on earth.
National Treasure.....Amazing!
I stumbled across this and it has really been a blessing.
Nothing like old time music in tough times,may peace be with you in Yeshua s name.
I love this..Thank you..Greetings from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
What a great joy to see all these legends and incredible musicians together on one stage, the genius of T Bone Burnett. Beautiful music.
This is an hour and a half of pure pure joy.
I loved the movie 🎥 but the music 🎶🎵 is what I grew up listening 🎧 to in my hometown area of Roanoke Virginia 💙
The most genuine music you could find, thank you to all involved for turning me to country music.
I live in the hills and mountains of Arkansas and I’ve always loved bluegrass, mountain folk and American folk music.
Dr Ralph Stanley
Bluegrass old time mountain style music
🎶 🎶 is revered here
In Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
This whole movie
Ring true 👍 😌 👌
The who who of bluegrass tis a feeling
Similar to our own traditional Irish music
When you hear it you know.. Righteous..

Found this,boy what a surprise. All my favorite artists in one place.❤❤❤

I'm a country boy from Ireland loves this song
So Beautiful and brings back Precious Memories!
Just one of the most beautiful programs I've seen in a very long time. Glorious.
😘💐💐💐
Wow! Just Wow! Heritage/classic.
Superb show of true music... What talents... From France.
Made my evening on a cold grey rainy day on Cape Cod! Unimaginably perfectly wonderful music and musicians- all good people! Thanku thanku
So beautiful to hear such sweet music.
...there's some inexplicable magic going on there , maybe its the historic auditorium or god was looking down on Nashville that day , …its just too perfect , the dang thing's alive and live with not a note out of place , whew .. just incredible transceding music !
Little bit of both Maybe,could be there wouldn't be no Grand Ole Opry or historic Auditorium unless God was looking down on Nashville
Just saw Jerry at Grey Fox!!!! So dang good!!! Such amazing music. Been listening to Emmylou all my life
What a treasure of musicians!
Gotta love it Emmy Lou Harris!!! Thanks sweet hart.
Hart is spelled "heart".
The original movie opened my eyes to traditional American music. This particular film was a joy to watch.
Great music came up on my feed. Love it. Hard to turn it off. I`m from Norway, and the only one I know is Emmylou Harris😍 thank you for the music👌
I had to look up T Bone Burnett and see if he did Cold Mountain - and he did! These two movies are epic sound tracks!
Gillian, thank you forever for this. You know what? It’s a hymn meant for mountain dulcimer. Makes me want to sing my pathetic heart out.❤
Utterly fantastic ... those harmonies talk to the heart

Ralph Stanley sang it while the entering credits were being shown.

The Cox family sent me to the next Stratosphere !!!
I can't believe that I just found this. Nothing short of spectacular with so many favorites. Thanks so much!

Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Look up the overwhelming Cox family / Alison Krauss album, I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.
This is probably the best Ryman auditorium program that’s ever been done. Amazing.
Hello! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.. Stay safe

No one else has ever done justice to it.
She sure can sing and play that fiddle, can't she 🎻
Bonnie R’s version is great too.
Listen to Suzanne Cox sing!
Great memories of the Cox family at concerts, and John Hartford as a pilot and entertainer on the Julia Belle Swain! Also Gillian Welch and
David Rawlings at Merlefest!
Loved every minute!
Beautiful and organic
This is the DVD that got me into Gillian Welch!.. Wow, they all look so young (haven't watched it in awhile).
Goosebumps at Alisson Krauss and the choir! ❤
Amen 🙏
