    Wow. I have been listening and appreciating folk music for nearly 60 years and "Hard Times Come Again No More" is among my favorite songs. This cover is the best I can ever remember hearing. I have played it over and over for days. I believe this is how Stephen Foster meant for his great song to be performed, and heard. Thank you, Sontas.

      I don't think Foster imagined this would be sung with bagpipes though.

      How is this a cover, did Stephen Foster record the original?

      Well, seeing as he wrote this song in 1854, I doubt he made a recording of it. @@graememiller3798

      But sadly it’s not an Irish tune. It’s a parlor song written in America.

    Lovely instrumental accompaniment and vocally a truly wonderful version, although I have been in love with the late Jim Glaser’s a cappella version for many years. I think it may also here on RUclips. As a Scot I love the bagpipes here. 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.
