Folks, it just don't get no better than this. This and Ralph Stanley's version with Keith Whitley singing lead are the best versions you are ever going to find.
Thank you for posting this wonderful performance of AP Carter’s song. I can’t believe how watching and listening to this song brings my own musical life full circle. During Covid time I thought I’d try to give my guitar playing more attention and unrust my fingers -a lot. As a young girl and to this day I loved the Beatles. My Dad entered a lottery for seats way back in the auditorium, and he took me and a friend to see the Beatles on tour in Seattle, WA in August 1964. (I’m not sure if this is the tour that Barry Tashian of “The Remains” opened for the Beatles or not.) Close enough, tho. One might say I gave guitar way too much attention in High School when a friend introduced me to guitar. I was a good flutist and guitar took me away from it for awhile. I taught myself to play using Jerry Silverman’s "Folksinger’s Guitar Guide, " and then I was off to learning Dylan, Carole King, Beatles, John Denver, Woody Guthrie, PP&M tunes. But one thing that stuck in my mind was a Silverman wrote about the importance of the Carter family in country and folk music. Years later, My 7 1/2 year old signed up for Class Piano in Maplewood, NJ. Her teacher was Vern Miller, who’d played Bass in the Remains. Small world. Back to the present, in 2020, I found a wonderful teacher on the MeetUp App. She is a Carter researcher and she really got me going! She’s a terrific playing who can do the Carter “Scratch” with ease. So I’m back to playing guitar. Vern Miller still plays Bass with the Remains when they perform reunion concerts and locally with his own band, in NJ. I’m sure looking forward to gigs opening up. I’m a flutist, a novice bagpiper (I haven’t transitioned to the Highland Pipes; I march playing Kitchen Pipes), and now I’m back to guitar, unrusting a little every day. I never knew until this video that the Tashians played country music, although I didn’t know that Dylan, Harrison, Clapton all knew and learned from Johnny Cash either until recently. So it makes sense. There certainly is a close connection between country music, rock and roll, and folk music. Thank you again for posting this lovely performance.
Wonderful harmony to the nth degree. Says it all in my humble opinion.
Thats such a good version. Trust Emmylou to pull it all together with that beautiful voice.
❤️😭love this song 🎵
Jerry Douglas and Mark O'Connor are musical geniuses. Their breaks on this tune are the epitome of technique and taste.
Thanks for recording this song.
What a lovely tune!
A great video and beautiful performance by Emmylou.....& Co
