Hard Times (Come Again No More) acoustic/vocal cover

Everybody else has done their take on this classic song by Stephen Foster, and now here's mine.
I heard George Clements sing this recently, and it pushed me to finally record my own version, with as many vocal harmonies as I could comfortably fit into it!
I based this recording on the version that appears on the fabulous album Appalachian Journey by Yo-Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer, which features James Taylor as a guest vocalist. I copied their structure, sang some of the instrumental parts as vocal solos, and add my own harmony arrangement at the beginning and end.
Appalachian Journey version: • Hard Times Come Again ...
George Clements' version: • Hard Times Come Again ...
Recorded, filmed and mixed by Luke at Blue Room Studios, Grange, Co. Sligo. / blueroomsligo
