I was grounded in folk play 6 silver strings and mandolin was lucky saw Nancy live once was 1st ever knew of her stole the show loved the music love it still she had impeccable delivery on the songs. PRINE in prime need I say more
I read where Nancy asked Dylan's permission to cover the song, and Dylan asked to hear it and sent it back with the harmonica part dubbed in and his blessings
The band gathered around her is the 'house band' of the amazing tv series 'Transatlantic Sessions' featuring the best of artists from both sides of the Atlantic. Just search youtube 'Transatlantic Sessions' 😊
Nanci is one of our true musical treasures.......her songs, her voice, her storytelling, just awesome. This version of Bob Dylan's song is priceless. Love her!
Sublime. The whole production of this perfectly summed up as ‘less is more’. Perfectly measured genius if Gerry Douglas and simple shadow of percussion and a wisp of accordian allowing the delightful uniqueness of Nancy….aaah sooooo endlessly endless beauty.. I’m a 76 yr old Aussie…
The 303 Bob Dylan fans who gave this the thumbs down can rest assured that Bob thinks they are ridiculous. Rest easy Nanci. You were a true gem. X And every songle person involved in this performance is as good as any musican will ever be.
PASSING OF A LEGEND The great, beautiful soul that was Nanci Griffith has flown into the eternal. I fell in love with her when I first saw this video back in 1987. I loved the fragile grace of her voice. I have loved her music ever since. Like many artists, I didn't share her political views (she was very left wing), but she was passionate and articulate with her beliefs. I have no problem with someone's political views (right or left) if they ground them in philosophy, ethics and faith. She was incensed at those who would take advantage of others -- regardless of the reason. She was sometimes filled with righteous anger and still her grace and love for her fellow man bled through in her face and in her words. Rest in peace Ms. Griffith. your music, your spirit will be missed. And yes, there IS a light beyond these woods Ms. Griffith.
When US citizen ‘s says someone is «far left», to the rest of the world this means they’re In center of the political spectre. But we can agree that Nanci was a great artist. My favourite song by Nanci has to be Trouble In The Fields , witch makes me cry much to easily. I am not sure how big she was commercially , but I for one will miss her !
Nanci Griffith has been keeping me sane since...forever. In chemotherapy a quarter century ago, her music lulled me to sleep every night (on a disc-man--remember those?) in the hospital. When I got home, as the months of chemo ground on, preparing to go to her concert (at Wolf Trap, Virginia) kept me moving ahead. And I went to that concert. I was so thankful to be there (with my boyfriend -- he is my husband now), that I sat in my seat, and wept. Tears of gratitude and joy. Thanks for posting--this is one of my very favorites.
Her haunting voice has moved on to the next life at a too early time. One of the great songs from the Transatlantic Sessions. Jerry Douglas’s dobro adds so much. The rest of the players are also so good
There’s a good video with Jerry Douglas and Molly Tuttle i’m glad I’m old enough to remember when this album came out had it on cassette in my car for years
Nanci was so much underrated in her own country but was overwhelmed with hit and appreciation on the other side of the Atlantic....Ireland was her niche to which she had similar culture. Your fans all over miss you Nanci, I am certain you are hearing and seeing it through the ears of your soul. Buddhism describes a deceased soul to wandering around for for seven days before flying to another heaven.
How was she underrated here??? She won a lot of awards including a couple of grammys, and recorded with many other stars including Townes Van Sant, John Prine, Emmy Lou Harris, Lyle Lovett just to name a few!!
I've been listening to Nanci Griffith since before I could walk, and have always loved her music. As a kid, this was my least favorite of her songs...I found it boring and didn't understand it. But now as an adult, I relate to every word of this song on such a deep level. I can't listen without crying. And now, I see this as her best song.
I remember the night that she started her first national tour. We waiting outside the venue in Houston and then her dad finally came out and said she's not able to go on stage tonight. The agony and the heartbreak and the sorrow several 100 people felt put her on stage in Memphis.
one thing we've got in common, is that we're all different. her voice is so piercing and true. i think danny on bass really carries this track. exquisite
Dylan may be great, but this is the best version of this song out there! No other has the combination of Nancy's voice and Jerry's dobro, either one of which I will seek to listen to by itself. Together is just gold, IMO.
I love Jerry Douglas dobro playing, and yes, Ms Griffith is classic in folk genre. I have to say that I prefer Mandolin Orange doing their cover though....IMO :)
I do love Nanci and her song stylings. And I think Jerry Douglas is absolutely wonderful! I love everything he does. But when I heard Mandolin Orange do this song, they took it to a new level for me. Just have a listen.... ruclips.net/video/iOHkyZ62jjQ/видео.html
The muisc world and the world in general lost a little piece of its soul when Nanci passed. She was a gentle voice in a world of too many bombastic or narcissist individuals. Yes, she will be missed. "And acquired taste"? Perhaps, but once you have embarced it, it haunts you and comforts you. . .Rest in Peace, gentle songbird.
I'm sad to say I've only just discovered Nanci via a duet with John Prine. Wow, what a loss they both are, I'm so glad I've discovered her music albeit rather late. RIP
I've been a music fan for over 60 years, and I can not believe I'd never heard of Nanci until recently. She is FANTASTIC -- I now have over a dozen of her albums, from her first to her newest.
Godspeed, Nanci. I saw her in Austin, then in San Francisco, then in Austin again. An absolute American icon and a real genre- melder. Cannot believe she has left us.
This is chillingly good. The song's brilliance is in its simplicity and Nanci nails it in this version. Also, perfect accompaniment by Jerry Douglas (et al).
For those not familiar with Jerry Douglas he is considered to be the world’s best dobro player. He has recorded with dozens of famous artists. This collaboration with Nanci is amazing!
This song is the greatest song ever.. griffith rocks this song... i have heard other artist try 2 sing this song but griffith knocks them all out in the ball field..
I do like Nanci's version, but I have to say I think Dylan has the gruffness and emotion the song requires. And that's unusual as Nanci usually has emotion in spades - so please don't jump down my throat!
Patti Smith was flat. This is pure, crystal, articulate. The accompaniment is superb. Love the bass player especially. Nanci hit the target with this one.
WOW......what awesome performance by Nanci......Jerry Douglas [worlds best Dobro picker] knocks it out of the park with his fantastic performance picking in the back ground......
I remember her on austin city limits when she was a skinny young gun with a guitar and voice to match. Thank you Nanci for the joy you have provided all of us who love your music and your spirit. Folk rock on baby!!!
I never heard a better band. Nanci sounds like an angel singing.
She is now mate… 😂
@@buffplums I looked you up. We have a lot on common. Like ham radio.🙂
MY FAVORITE VERSION OF THIS SONG. MISS YOU NANCI AND YOUR WONDERFUL VOICE.
Losing John Prine and now Nanci Griffith within one year is pretty hard to take. RIP to the both of you.
I was grounded
in folk play 6 silver strings and mandolin was lucky saw Nancy live once was 1st ever knew of her stole the show loved the music love it still she had impeccable delivery on the songs. PRINE in prime need I say more
Yes so missed
The times they are a changin’ . . . .
I read where Nancy asked Dylan's permission to cover the song, and Dylan asked to hear it and sent it back with the harmonica part dubbed in and his blessings
Too cool. The drowned rat being courteous-for a change. … then she is a purdy girl n all so …likelier
What a lovely story. ❤
Yeah. Heard that too. Class
Doubt Dylan ever wrote anything more beautiful or had any of his songs better interpreted. This is just stunningly lovely.
I fell in love with Nanci Griffith’s voice at the Newport Folk Festival in 1991, her beautiful, poignant voice will be sorely missed💜
Thats very sweet. ♡
😥 loved her, to young
She has the sweetest voice I have ever listened to...
I am grateful to utube and Nancy and all those who made this discovery possible including God who is the overall cause.
May the choirs invisible honour her voice forever…. 💔
RIP Nanci! Her voice is like a little bird that soars high above the clouds, where her spirit lives now~~
little birds sometimes are very powerful and beautiful ... and full of wonderful music ...
RIP Nanci!
@@unterwant You are so right!!🙏🎶🎶
I agree
Beautifully said Rose... Thank You!!!
😘💋☁️🐦☁️🐦☁️🐦☁️🐦☁️💔😭
The most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard. I play it every day, it never gets boring.
Mandolin Orange/Watchtower has a fantastic cover as well
What a cover. Nanci has gathered together such a fine band, and she never sounded better. Such an easy relaxed presentation.
She is so missed
The band gathered around her is the 'house band' of the amazing tv series 'Transatlantic Sessions' featuring the best of artists from both sides of the Atlantic. Just search youtube 'Transatlantic Sessions' 😊
Mr Dylan has a big 😊 on his face!
Nanci is one of our true musical treasures.......her songs, her voice, her storytelling, just awesome. This version of Bob Dylan's song is priceless. Love her!
Truly
A heavenly voice that still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear her.
YEP IT'S JUST HAPPEND 2 ME ,DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS STILL POSSIBLE. TOP STATEMENT TOP 🔝 TUNE 👍
Jerry Douglas the master dobro player
Sublime. The whole production of this perfectly summed up as ‘less is more’. Perfectly measured genius if Gerry Douglas and simple shadow of percussion and a wisp of accordian allowing the delightful uniqueness of Nancy….aaah sooooo endlessly endless beauty..
I’m a 76 yr old Aussie…
As much as I adore Bob, I can listen to this version again and again no matter what mood I'm in and it's never less than lovely. Go Nancy!
Try mandaloin orange's version...❤
You can't help but love dear Nancy. I listen to her voice and always shed a few tears.
agree...it's exquisite.@@chefpaddy199
The 303 Bob Dylan fans who gave this the thumbs down can rest assured that Bob thinks they are ridiculous.
Rest easy Nanci. You were a true gem. X
And every songle person involved in this performance is as good as any musican will ever be.
I am really going to miss her. She wrote such incredible songs. My best friend introduced me to her.
I am a Bob Dylan fan, but much prefer Nanci's version
" Of Golden, "
Nanci !
X.
such nonsense. why saying samething like that?
Bob Dylan heard the song and gave it his blessing as do I rest in peace nanci
Her voice, but Jerry Douglas on Dobro. What a perfect match. He is the greatest ever.

@@marksaleby7756 Mark yours was a graceless reply to a very gracious OP. Shame.
@@doglover31418 so typical of today's "left".
I really loved her-RIP dear Nanci.
21/07/2023 Your a Ledgend Nanci , never forgotten
Real musicians playing real music. Bless you all.
Amen.
Nanci Griffith RIP 13/08/2021 - her voice, this beauty.

Easily the best version I've ever heard. Nanci's voice is as bright as silver, and all the instrumentalists are spot on - perfection!
check out the cover by Mandolin Orange, pretty sweet too
You heard Mandolin Orange Version??x
Mandolin Orange Cover. Outstanding!!!
My thought too, outstanding!
Close your eyes and just be THERE... Rest in peace Nanci, Thank you for all the magnific music
Nanci is in a class almost by herself. I love her songs, her voice, her personality. Jerry Douglas is marvellous here. Beautiful playing
I appreciate your review. I personally would leave out "almost."
There’s a good video with Jerry Douglas and Molly Tuttle i’m glad I’m old enough to remember when this album came out had it on cassette in my car for years
Without a doubt, one of the best renditions of any Dylan song by any artist. One of my top favorites.
I love her voice. Sort of irish/Southern. My music spans the globe. I would rank her in the top three.
How is it possible that a song could be so beautiful?
Nanci was so much underrated in her own country but was overwhelmed with hit and appreciation on the other side of the Atlantic....Ireland was her niche to which she had similar culture.
Your fans all over miss you Nanci, I am certain you are hearing and seeing it through the ears of your soul. Buddhism describes a deceased soul to wandering around for for seven days before flying to another heaven.

This is one of the most beautiful things on RUclips and it will haunt my memory forever. Exquisite performances by all involved.
Remembering Nanci Griffith this day.😢
Nanci really treated this song by Dylan right. The stars aligned here.
Nanci & Crew really sail away with this Dylan classic !
Having Jerry Douglas there to do the arrangement and play steel helps
Her voice is like an angel.I will listen for it when I get there.RIP Nancy
I've been listening to Nanci Griffith since before I could walk, and have always loved her music. As a kid, this was my least favorite of her songs...I found it boring and didn't understand it. But now as an adult, I relate to every word of this song on such a deep level. I can't listen without crying. And now, I see this as her best song.
that is quite wonderful. :)
Time is always joining us to The Fellowship of Love... by understanding. Thanks a lot for sharing life!
it's all about having the time to really listen?
When we are young we think finding love. Later on we learn about losing it.
As i grow older i find that the things I hated most as a child are now the things i most cherish. Funny how life is
I remember the night that she started her first national tour. We waiting outside the venue in Houston and then her dad finally came out and said she's not able to go on stage tonight. The agony and the heartbreak and the sorrow several 100 people felt put her on stage in Memphis.
This is the best cover ever, from one all time favourite albums, heaven is wherever Nancy is.🙂
one thing we've got in common, is that we're all different.
her voice is so piercing and true.
i think danny on bass really carries this track. exquisite
Well, bass is supposed to do that,. but it didn't hurt having Jerry Douglas on the dobro.
Jerry Douglas on Dobro makes that instrument cry like a broken heart.
Agree whole heartedly
By far, the best version I have ever heard.
What a incredible voice.
Tomtscotland, thank you so much for all these videos from Transatlantic Sessions. The absolute best of folk music here and across the Pond.
RIP Nanci Griffith, you brought me closer to my heart and God with your soulful voice
this song is why he deserves a nobel prize. sorry one of many.
Dylan may be great, but this is the best version of this song out there! No other has the combination of Nancy's voice and Jerry's dobro, either one of which I will seek to listen to by itself. Together is just gold, IMO.
I love Jerry Douglas dobro playing, and yes, Ms Griffith is classic in folk genre. I have to say that I prefer Mandolin Orange doing their cover though....IMO :)
Try "Mandolin Orange" version.
I am obsessed with this song, I love finding new interpretations.
I do love Nanci and her song stylings. And I think Jerry Douglas is absolutely wonderful! I love everything he does. But when I heard Mandolin Orange do this song, they took it to a new level for me. Just have a listen.... ruclips.net/video/iOHkyZ62jjQ/видео.html
I think Dylan’s version is best
@@kodiak7463 agree!!
She is not only Texas's brightest star, she is a magnificent guitarist! All rolled up and tied with a silk bow...
Oh, Nanci. You left far too early! R I complete Peace!!
This is about the best version. Her voice is so poignant and soft. Just spellbinding.
A moment just listening to Nanci, brings peace and a calm, beautiful voice, beautiful Lady, keep singing Nanci.xxxxx
Love this version the bass work in this is flawless
The wonderful Danny Thompson!
I can't watch this without crying ...
Beautiful performance. Everyone is great but Danny Thompson's bass is extra special.
Nanci at her best just love this woman
The muisc world and the world in general lost a little piece of its soul when Nanci passed. She was a gentle voice in a world of too many bombastic or narcissist individuals. Yes, she will be missed. "And acquired taste"? Perhaps, but once you have embarced it, it haunts you and comforts you. . .Rest in Peace, gentle songbird.
I'm sad to say I've only just discovered Nanci via a duet with John Prine. Wow, what a loss they both are, I'm so glad I've discovered her music albeit rather late. RIP
Never thought I'd like anyone else covering a Dylan song. Bob's version breaks my heart. Nanci's melts it...
What's not to like? Worlds greatest dobro player and very original version of Bob Dylan's best song ever.
Can't imagine anyone not enjoying hear Nanci sing.
Adorava Nanci e para mim essa é a melhor versão da musica de Dylan
I've been a music fan for over 60 years, and I can not believe I'd never heard of Nanci until recently. She is FANTASTIC -- I now have over a dozen of her albums, from her first to her newest.
RIP Nanci, sought out this song when I heard the sad news.
Jerry's dobro is incredible
Nanci griffith has beautiful voice and beautiful as she is. I too agree that there is nothing to compare.
Godspeed, Nanci. I saw her in Austin, then in San Francisco, then in Austin again. An absolute American icon and a real genre- melder. Cannot believe she has left us.
Still just as beautiful as ever.
An elegant performance by Nanci and Jerry. Rest easy, darling.
I knew something was up! I am saddened beyond description! Nothing has affected me so in 70 years of Life.
Gawd damn Jerry Douglas he never hits a wrong note and is always so sweet!
Wonderful talent. Great instrumentals.
Jerry Douglas' dobro shows how wonderful a musician he is.
RIP Nanci, lovely music
beautiful song, beautiful beautiful voice, beautiful beautiful beautiful dobro playing
Ditto
Can't think of a better accompanist than Jerry Douglas. Adds a whole dimension.
Danny thompson is the greatest! What a man!
This is chillingly good. The song's brilliance is in its simplicity and Nanci nails it in this version. Also, perfect accompaniment by Jerry Douglas (et al).
She's so beautiful and whenever I hear her sing , I cry everytime...❤
Incredible.
the sound of my youth.....Great souvenirs
Saw her twice in Dublin in Ireland, met her on the street, a fantastic singer and a beautiful person gone too soon😢
Dobro picking is so masterful
For those not familiar with Jerry Douglas he is considered to be the world’s best dobro player. He has recorded with dozens of famous artists. This collaboration with Nanci is amazing!
This song is the greatest song ever.. griffith rocks this song... i have heard other artist try 2 sing this song but griffith knocks them all out in the ball field..
Danny Thompson's bass is so essential to the structure of this presentation . His rhythm is flawless . The others are excellent also . GL, Sr
Great Nanci, great singer singing a nice song. From the south, green and wet corner of this world, we are sailing with your song. Chile
beautiful childlike innocence in this voice .
Jeannie Campbell So pure!!Like a fresh mountain spring,
All the stars were aligned and it was recorded. I am grateful.
Danny. This.
Goodbye Nanci, I hope you’re teaching the angels to sing. We miss you.
Love her gentle voice full of innocence and beauty.
Takes me home. Far from the maddening crowd. Thank Nanci.
Nobody sings Dylan like... ahh who am I kidding? This is great
Are you a music teacher?
+Feed the Fat Rabbit No, I just love Bob Dylan
+Mr. Tuthill I was just curious. My first music teacher shares your name. P.S Dylan is king.
+Feed the Fat Rabbit the greatest
I do like Nanci's version, but I have to say I think Dylan has the gruffness and emotion the song requires. And that's unusual as Nanci usually has emotion in spades - so please don't jump down my throat!
She died today. RIP from a big fan.
My God
How have I missed this all these years
Her smile at the end of the song is priceless!
perfection.....with this artist for more than 30years now....best NG
something about Nanci s voice that sounds so immature and childish, pure and beautiful at the same time. Love some of her music.
Patti Smith was flat. This is pure, crystal, articulate. The accompaniment is superb. Love the bass player especially. Nanci hit the target with this one.
I have loved Nanci for a very long time.....she is fabulous!
One of the prettiest damn things I ever heard,
Man, Jerry Douglas is a monster guitarist.
dobro
saw nanci in scotland years ago.........twas a great night....
Nanci has always been one of my all time faves... and will forever be...
Godspeed, Nanci. You're sure to be missed by us all. Rest In Peace
WOW......what awesome performance by Nanci......Jerry Douglas [worlds best Dobro picker] knocks it out of the park with his fantastic performance picking in the back ground......
that makes two of us...I'm 63 and now you're not alone any more...
