Me too! 65 here, and I am in love with all the uber talented young people, might I mention Sierra Hull, 4 time IBMA mandolinist of the year, (see "Mad World"!), Molly Tuttle, AJ Lee, Billy Strings ...
Two of the best lines in any song ever: Cold gin in the back room hummin', medicating for the trouble that's comin' and You make me want to be alone. I can sure relate to both of those.
What a blessing is this generation of talented instrumentalists, writers, interpreters and voices: from Sarah, Aoife O'Donovan, and Laura Marling to talents like Waxahatchee, Johanna Warren, Mitski... Thanks, Gods and muses!
All wonderful, and, if it's not just coincidence that it's all females, don't overlook Gillain Welch, whose songwriting contributions will live on for a good long time. (she is older, though, but great, and she sure hasn't hurt the explosion of Americana/folk/roots talent that we've seen.)
Huh? Other than Sarah, what do any of those people you mention have anything to do with House of Mercy? Sarah much better with her band as I do NOT like Sarah with I'm with her.
Even for you, this one really nails it . It is testimony that when well played, less is more. Very well recorded and mastered. I’ve been following you for years and you are a unique talent. Kudos, Sarah!
Saw them in Birmingham at Saturn venue last weekend. They were fantastic, of course. Sarah's voice is amazing, and her band collectively carries the soul of her songs to perfection. The show opened with Parker Millsap, who was also in top form- really a great performance. If you do get the chance to see them on tour this year, don't even hesitate.
This has to be one of my favorite songs, and one of my favorite performers.. I love everything I have heard from Miss Jarosz ... everything. Thank You.
I saw her last night. She was excellent. She is using a different guitarist from this video, but they opened with this song. It was a cool concert in a small enough venue (Greenville, SC) that all seats were good. Sold out!
She kinda reminds me of Gillian Welch a little bit. Love her voice. Just discovered her on an Anais Matthews vid tonight and I just discovered Anais Matthews a few days ago. Love finding new gems of talent like this
just discovered her as well playing background and singing for Paul Simon,love her voice, I do hear a little Gillian there(one of my all time favorites) . I'm with you , so many gems of talent but it's like mining for gold, you have to search for the nuggets among the sludge.
In the middle of the night again Still water and the birds don't sing Cold gin in the back room humming Medicating for the trouble that's coming Walls rattle like a diesel freighter Blood races like a wave This house wasn't meant for strangers But you come knocking anyway I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Don't try to change my mind That knock gets louder all the time Don't try to wear me down You'll never get inside this house Underneath that shirt you're wearing Strained muscles and a heart of stone Double crossing like a wild chameleon You make me want to be alone I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Don't try to change my mind That knock gets louder all the time Don't try to wear me down You'll never get inside this house I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
Every time I hear her octave mandolin, I want to get one, but they are so very expensive. Then I listen to others play the OM and I change my mind and decide not to get one.
Elizabeth Harper , his name is Jedd Hughes. He has a co-writing credit on this tune. Sarah has also been accompanied recently by Anthony DaCosta on guitar.
I'm curious about Jedd's harmony lines... it's not your typical straight 3rd, and it doesn't follow the melody note for note. It's really cool... who made up this harmony -- Sarah? Jedd?
Well, It looks like an octave tenor guitar. Like a four string tenor with octave strings. The oct mandolin is tuned differently. Kind of a pain to play, speaking as a mando man. I think it would be like a cittern or bouzouki. The tunings are often up to the player, music or region.
It's not a guitar. It's a mandocello, tuned like a cello (C, G, D, A, low to high), with doubled strings like a mandolin (thus 8 strings). A mandolin is tuned like a violin, a mandocello is tuned like a cello.
I also like that version very much. However, it could be that carrying a cello player on the road doesn't work unless Jarosz used the cello on almost every song. Getting a local cellist to rehearse and then play on one or two songs might be very hard to do.
Sarah is one of my favorites,she rocks , and I am 70 years old .
Yes, she does rock! Right there with ya, Robert.

@@christinemohr424 Josh Turner guitar, also a good pick.
Same, both counts, a fave and I just turned 70
She has one of the most haunting and evocative voices out there. What an amazing talent!
Her cover of shankill butchers legit scares me
Authentic, Honest, Polished, you have no ceiling. I found you a while back. Immersing myself in what you have done has been truly amazing! Thank you

@@jsbtuxman The harmonies with "I'm With Her" are brilliant

I was a bluegrass musician in the earl eighties. Tough to make a living . I wish we had her music with the Octave Mandolin,
Just awesome. These people are some of the very best people performing today. I saw them in Maine recently and they are incredible.
Heard this for the first time on my way to work in the car on CBC radio. Absolutely had to hear more.
💘
Real music, real storytelling.
Sarah and Jedd both extremely talented musicians and songwriters and both blessed with amazing voices
Who on earth dislikes this? It's brilliant!
I my God I love Sarah! Believe it or not I know her. We both grew up in wimberly TX. I went to St Stephen school and her mom taught there.
Love the harmony vocs . Love it all but the harmony makes it. And that octave mandolin!
Stunning musician!

SUPERB!!! Sarah, thank you so so much, real music isn't dead!!
It's always gorgeous sound when Sarah is on stage.
Just wow!!!
Wow. Just wow. So talented.

Thank you.
Seeing her in Bury England tonight...cannot wait...
I bought tickets to see her this coming Friday. very much looking forward to it
Badass. Sarah is gold and jewels. Love that young lady so much.
the woman has an amazing talent
Now this is real music
I just seen you on CBS good morning on Saturday, wow you are awesome, keep doing what you are doing.
She's good, young and talented.
Really enjoyed her show at 2017 Merlefest. What a talented performer.
Sweet performance. This lady's got talent.
Amazing song and performance
Like it very much..Fresh and "rootsy" - congrats on the Grammy!
o my GOD. so beautiful
so cool
Saw her at The Dakota last week. Great show!
Wow! That is just so great.
I'm a huge fan of this song! Nice to also see a mandocello in action.
That's an octave mandolin, not a mandocello.
was wondering what that was
In the middle of the night again
Still water and the birds don't sing
Cold gin in the back room humming
Medicating for the trouble that's coming
Walls rattle like a diesel freighter
Blood races like a wave
This house wasn't meant for strangers
But you come knocking anyway
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
Don't try to change my mind
That knock gets louder all the time
Don't try to wear me down
You'll never get inside this house
Underneath that shirt you're wearing
Strained muscles and a heart of stone
Double crossing like a wild chameleon
You make me want to be alone
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
Don't try to change my mind
That knock gets louder all the time
Don't try to wear me down
You'll never get inside this house
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
wow
Wow- this is fantastic
She's good solo but the dynamic she has with that excellent bass player makes her sound awesome.
Who is also her husband! They married this year (2023). 🙂
She is amazing- I'm mesmerized by this song and Sarah
Fantastic sound.........
Just WOW! What a stirring performance!
I love her voice
She tells the truth
Magical!
Great performance
Folk music theology at its very best!
Theology? Not likely.
just great, wow !
Wow killing it 👍
Awesome !!!
excellent
Only 16 348 views? great vocals, great music
Excelente canta autora.
I love this song and your voice!!!
Love it.
Perfect!!!
great
Man alive!
It's so good it almost doesn't sound live.
pro studio setting, pro mics
She always sounds like that, her vocal technique amazes me in every video i see.
Great Trio.
Every time I hear her octave mandolin, I want to get one, but they are so very expensive. Then I listen to others play the OM and I change my mind and decide not to get one.
That octave mando has such a deep tone. Big guitar body seems like a good idea.
Tour Australia pleeease
please play Gruene Hall. I wouldn't miss it.
Really Great. The more I listen to you, the more I want too. OD CD 206
How do i give this more than one thumbs up?
Fist time I've seen / heard her. Love the style and voice. I know nothing about her background. Does she also compose / write / arrange her pieces ?
ps..she is from Wimberley Texas... we have a strong Lions Club by the way. :)
Steve PAUL yep!
Steve PAUL yeah she also grew up in wimberly TX and her mom taught at St Stephens school. Im not a stalker! I just personally know her
Sharon Mickey so your from wimberly?
Tom Hamby k
Anyone know what tuning the guitar player is using - it looks like double drop "D".....???
Michael Anderson double drop d works
~ Love her sound. Does anyone know the name of the guitar player/singer? TY
Elizabeth Harper , his name is Jedd Hughes. He has a co-writing credit on this tune. Sarah has also been accompanied recently by Anthony DaCosta on guitar.

What guitar is she playing? It's strung like a mandolin.
It's an octave mandolin. Neat instrument!

Thanks! I'll have to get one for my wife!

Brad Fletcher Brock Mandocello www.fletcherbrock.com/Mandocello.html
Sarah.... Mandocello. I"m a guitar player and also fiddle, mandolin, mandola. Mandocello is right in the pocket. Advice?
what's that the 8-string guitar-like thing Sarah was playing?
large mandolin
Octave mandolin
How is Sarah's guitar strung/tuned?
It's not a guitar. It's a mandocello, tuned like a cello (C, G, D, A, low to high), with doubled strings like a mandolin (thus 8 strings). A mandolin is tuned like a violin, a mandocello is tuned like a cello.
@@Lwayte It's not a mandocello. It's an octave mandolin tuned the same as a standard mandolin (G, D, A, E) but one octave lower.
I miss Hargreaves and Smith.
Sounds like the melody of Ohio by Neil Young???
Sounds like double drop D.
Had same thought.
Delicious.
sounds like neil young ohio
I do like this song, but sorry Sarah I much prefer your old trio. The sound you produced with the violin and the cello was fantastic.
I also like that version very much. However, it could be that carrying a cello player on the road doesn't work unless Jarosz used the cello on almost every song. Getting a local cellist to rehearse and then play on one or two songs might be very hard to do.
And the Grammy goes too.........
Best complete rejection I've heard.
walking dead track right here yall
She's excellent but her songs are a bit weak.
