im a 20 yo american and i assure you although they didnt play this in such an atmospheric setting, my parents and I enjoyed this too. its an american thing. one can only hope something this beautiful will never be a generational thing
I learned this song through my great grandfather. One of the last movies he enjoyed before he left this earth was Brother where art thou. It reminded him of his childhood. He loved it so much he was gifted the soundtrack one year for Christmas. He'd play it over and over again, And on that CD was harry mcclintocks big rock candy mountain. I heard it so much i began to memorize it.
Big Rock Candy Mountain . A very old song but a very good one . Makes me feel happy . Whistled right along with You . Thank you for singing this song .
Ya'at'eeh shik'is🕊 from Iyanbito, NM Im trying to learn this song and I appreciate you for giving me a glimpse. These lyrics are still relevant to this day.
Some of the best lyrics ever written my friend, and you did a wonderful job playing and singing. The world could use a lot more of this. Thank you sir, you have made my day.
I can tell you love this tune as much as I am hearing you play and sing it. Thank you so much. Looks like that fire is big enough for two. maybe someday I will join you abd we can pick a little.
you lifted my spirits a bit mr. big tim. im no hobo but a park ranger who fallows the spirit of the law as much as i can. have a drink on me and be merry
Wow, you are truly a fantastic musician. This is an amazing cover of such a special song. I have both subscribed and liked, and I can’t wait to listen to more of your covers of songs like these.
Thanks… I canoed about seven miles to this spot in the wilderness… only the Moose heard me😂 I’ll have to check out Billy’s version… I’m sure it’s awesome!
if you never sat on the side of the road in a no ride town for 3 days running low....you don't know. This song is as close as you will get. I will never forget the native american lady who finally got me the hell out....she was coming from a casino....and had just won. i sat in her passenger seat just listening....quietly thinking to myself..."$%^& Blue Lake"
My mother is a Giant film and literature buff, I only know this song song from Oh Brother Where Art Thou. I genuinely didn't know this was a real song outside of film.
Big Tim make sure to check out this new kid shaking up the folk music world w/all his new songs and theres quite an offering to chose from.. Don't let another day pass without 1st checking out Jesse Welles with a new album filled w/excellent lyrics from this man my Friend.. something tells me you will also Love Jesse's music too.

I'm 25 and have the song memorized and can play on guitar, no worries
@brabbit303 great tune ! Is your rendition on RUclips ?
This is what you tube is supposed to be. No beg for likes and subscribe, just simple entertainment.
Thank you. I agree.
I'm Canadian, and I love this old Americana. There's something timeless about American folk music. Great rendition!
Thank you! Agree!
I love how it started our “Mountain” and transitioned to “mountains”. More joy to be had!!!
Unconscious error !😀
My old man used to play this song...miss you dad❤. Thank you sir for posting this!🙂

@janicenunn8525 thanks !
The feeling that comes from this rendition is something I'd like to call the spirit of America.
I am honored!
I love that this is a hobo fantasy song but is traditionally played as a wholesome family/children's song.
Yeah… that’s right!.👍💕🔥

Us little ones loved this tune in the early 1950s.. I loved it when it was in “Oh Brother….”
Thank you for a trip down memory lane! ❤

I'm a really big fan of music and outdoorsy stuff like this. Feels like I'm sitting around that fire too :)

Great job Sir. Always been 1 of my favorite songs
Mine too!
Awesome! Embarrassed to say I’ve never heard this song until Billy Strings sang it on Halloween. What a great setting you have!
Thanks… I canoed about seven miles to this spot in the wilderness… only the Moose heard me😂 I’ll have to check out Billy’s version… I’m sure it’s awesome!
@ wow. Awesome. Not asking for details but what state is that in? Looks fantastic.
It is in the upper peninsula of Michigan a few miles from Lake Superior..😀 total wilderness,
@ love it! I’m in Grand Rapids… We go to the upper peninsula every August. :-) Maybe we can pick together sometime. Lol.
Let me know ! That would be cool- we could do a tune in my “studio”🔥
if you never sat on the side of the road in a no ride town for 3 days running low....you don't know. This song is as close as you will get.
I will never forget the native american lady who finally got me the hell out....she was coming from a casino....and had just won. i sat in her passenger seat just listening....quietly thinking to myself..."$%^& Blue Lake"
Yep. Been there and done that! Back in the day. Sometimes my thumb just wasn’t working…
My dream is to sing this at a campfire, either with buddies or by myself in nature
Nothing better in the world!🔥
That was lovely, thank you.
You’re most welcome!

Nice, Tim! One of my favorite motorcycle rides here in WNC is Candy Mountain Road.
New sub.
Is that a real twisty drive?
@BigTim5 It's VERY twisty, in spots but relatively short.

Beautiful song, sir😭
