    Okay. We've heard Sierra do a number of Doc Watson covers over the years. Who else agrees with me that maybe a CD ( or an EP ) of nothing but Doc Watson covers would be highly appropriate?

      @@wickham53 Sierra and her hubby, Justin, are both fantastic on many different instruments. The two of them are unbelievably talented. I have seen videos of Sierra flat out playing the guitar just as fast and well as she dose the mandolin. I have heard Sierra say though that she loves playing the mandolin most of all. I agree with here. the mandolin is my first love as well. I just wish I could play even just 1% as well as she does.

  • @jeffdetmer4681
    @jeffdetmer4681 2 года назад +19

    I have listened to this so many times, and just realized that I haven't commented to the great quality of this performance. I have (through YT videos), watched Sierra grow up playing. Sierra, you are amazing. The thing (or I guess quality) that I admire most in a picker is on display whenever you play. A lot of people rate themselves (or strive) for speed. A lot of people also think that makes those pickers special. While you certainly can make an instrument smoke, what I appreciate most of all is the tonality. The word that best describes (for me) what I hear when you play is crystalline. Your playing is so precise, yet with such a natural flow. Imagine the row of glasses each filled with a different level of water. When they are struck each has such a pure clear tone. That is what we get from you. Without all the buzzing and humming and double strikes of strings etc. that we get from some players. As has been said here by others, great picker, wonderful singer, IMHO not yet fully appreciated writer as well. Keep doing what you do Sierra. Looking forward to more of the same, and whatever is next.

    I was asked who inspired you the most with strings. I told the radio show I had grown up with the 50's-60's and rock of the 70s, but as I aged I watched a young child play in the street holding a majic mandolin.I followed her progress on social media till today on her RUclips Channel. "Who is it? God made the child with majic fingers, golden pipes for vocals and a smile that stays with her while she sleeps. Her name is Sierra Hull -- the queen of bluegrass. This was in Houston 93Q. They had to Google....lol

    I love this kid! Some may have experienced it too, but I remember her as a little girl, (maybe 8-10). She could smoke everybody at the old Independence school house. One Night I was asked to play Mandolin and didn't have one. Well this cute lil gal says I can play her F-5. I get ready to get up on the little stage and she is laughing at me because the guys point out that her strap says "Girl Power" lol. never will forget those days of growing up and seeing folks like her and Jamie Dailey and several others who cut their teeth in the Cumberland river area!

    I dare to say that Sierra Hull is the best mandolin player out there now. Her technique is flawless. In my opinion, no one else out there is better, cleaner or faster than she is now. This is not to say there are not great mandolin players out there for sure. Sierra can play anything they can and do it with better technical perfection while playing it as fast if not faster. The cool thing is that she also has the creativity there as well along with these incredible mandolin skills. The scary thing is that she is as good, if not better, on the guitar. Sierra has improved her singing tremendously since her younger days. She really has found her singing voice now; creating her own style and such. She now has gained full control of her voice and how to express herself with her voice in a very pleasing beautiful way that is all her own. PS Her husband is equally amazing on so many different instruments as well.
