This is a wonderful song and your version is really genuine. I'm a Brit woman, but I love it, I've played it often. I got very interested in Appalachian history after watching Justified, and started reading up on it, after an American friend told me that while it's a drama, the context is pretty accurate. Peace and love.
You have the sound of many of my friends living back in the mountains. One in particular, who has passed, would go back in the holler and play and sing between the rock walls. His playing echoed down the holler like a giant megaphone. Good memories and chills just thinking back.
Josh, Wow! I just came across your cover while searching different versions. I don't need to look any further. Your voice is butter smooth and baritone rich. Your guitar playing is so natural and compliments your vocals perfectly. So glad I found this. I have always loved this song but after hearing your cover, I love it even more. Keep it up! RUclips needs more Josh Martin.
WOW !! That was incredible ! ......... From the Northeast ... Recently got back from a motorcycle trip to eastern Kentucky to visit Loretta Lynns Cabin at Butcher Holler. Went through coal country ..... have the greatest respect and admiration for the folks in those hills who helped build this country with the coal they mined. Terrible crime how those who actually built this country have been left behind ........ Such a great song sung and played perfectly ...... Thank You
Polished guitar and impressive interpretation. I was really wowed by your talent young man. If you are tempted to listen to someone who says you cannot make, just smile and say "where"? You are there with the muse so give gratitude and continue to build your heaven. Great start!
Waooooo ...I'am GUITAR player from MORROCCO .... And your performance of this song is the best i've ever listned ... And be sure , I'am not a begginner .. Your choice of the chords and the way you play this song is amazing .......................................................................... Excuse my english ..... And thank you buddy .......👍👍👍👍👍👍.....
Please please please do a tab for this. Your way of playing this song is absolutely beautiful and there aren't any tabs anywhere else that do this song justice
+Josh Martin tabledit.com is a software I've used and it works really well! There might be a free demo for you to try - I loved it and ended up getting the software for my laptop anyways. Again, amazing job! :)
Just so you know, I come back to this cover and your Hank Williams cover about once every six months to listen to you. Sounds great and I love that br160.
Josh just wanted to give a shout out to you for this video. I love the way you play this and you recording this with your dad is awesome! Great song and I like the way you make it fit your story! Thank you for sharing this with me I am going to copy it which is the best form of flattery they say!
I just heard this song about 3 days ago...someone had posted the Patty Loveless version on Facebook and I've listened to it about 40 times since then. And yes I'm in love with it. Anyway, just heard your version and I'm very impressed. Great, great job!
Holy crap! This is an amazing job. I've been hearin' lots of good stuff about you from the fam back home. My dad might be your biggest fan. Keep on keepin' on.
Man..... that was awesome. I just finished watching Justified and have been listening to the different versions on youtube and this is right up there with the very best!!
j coals not done you idiot. The mountains are full of coal. You must be living in liberal Layla land. Drive across west va on 64 and all you see is coal. Coal, natural gas, and oil are our heritage. Everything else is subsidized energy.

Thanks for watching! Appalachia has quite the dramatic history.
You just outsong Brad Paisley, best cover we heard until now! Greetings from Norway :)
Good music reaches all corners of the globe 👍
best cover I've heard on this song and that blueridge guitar sounds better than my Martin
Apart from the original Darrell Scott (whom I met last Sunday after a gig) this is the best version I have heard.
That's awesome- Thank you!
Good version, but nothing beats Patty Loveless
david alvin, but Music is subjective.. All are VERY good !!
Best i ever heard..
Brad Paisley
Best rendition of this song I've ever heard!

This is not the best cover. This is better than the original. You killed it man!

A powerful performance.
Brilliant...
Hats off, sir.
At this point, this is the best male vocal cover I've heard of this piece. This is coming from one who loves female vocals.
Just so you know, I come back to this cover and your Hank Williams cover about once every six months to listen to you. Sounds great and I love that br160.
Great job and great Blueridge
Oh, wow; this is really good! And you did it barefoot, to boot. Hats off, sir.
That’s my natural habitat! Ha. Than ya sir
My God!! absolutely incredible! No other version even comes close to this.
Thanks so much!

Well done Josh. Such a great song.
Man..... that was awesome. I just finished watching Justified and have been listening to the different versions on youtube and this is right up there with the very best!!
great job on a lovely song, I'm from wise county va. dad and grandad coalminers. both died young
Thanks for commenting- It's a meaningful song for sure
Now Trump and the republicans are promising them coal jobs that don't exist .shameful, they should be honest, coal is done!
j coals not done you idiot. The mountains are full of coal. You must be living in liberal Layla land. Drive across west va on 64 and all you see is coal.
Coal, natural gas, and oil are our heritage. Everything else is subsidized energy.
This is BEAUTIFUL. :):):
Thanks so much! :)
One of my favorite songs! I skip straight to your cover every time. Stellar performance.
My favorite version I've ever heard. What a talent
Great rendition; solid, spare, and utterly matter of fact.
