    In only a matter of days I have become a huge fan. Her voice puts me in mind of Tracy Chapman but her style is all Amythyst! Powerful, Unique, pure.

    I have never heard Cori played like this, I reckon she either transposed this version herself or learned from someone who did. There's so many great things going on here, the precise driving syncopation of the drop thumb, the smooth back-phrasing, when she hangs on a measure like that it makes chills run down my spine. Amythyst Klah is that new old time sound. 🔥

    I just now blundered across this singer/musician by accident. WOW! What a voice! I don't know what "genre" this falls into-- it sounds like Appalachian "mountain music" to me-- but to hell with classifications, it's terrific no matter what it's called.

      Its a blues song, played in a mountain folk singer style. The vocals on this are so good

    • @davelippman444
      @davelippman444 Год назад +2

      Black folk played "country" music long ago, but the machinations of the recording industry erased that part of the Country heritage. This revivalist is presenting an update of how it might have sounded then, and how it sounds now that it's being rescued. Genres are mystifications of the origins of musical styles.

    Damn! Bringing more than a touch of the blues to this mountain banjo tune. I love the way the lyrics are phrased, and that voice... that voice. Incredible range! Inspiring stuff for a banjo player :)

    • @zachsmith8916
      @zachsmith8916 7 лет назад +1

      Seems to me she's doing something similar to what Jimmie Rogers did in 20's and 30's albeit somewhat more modern. Pretty interesting stuff.

      I had the great pleasure of seeing her live this past Sunday-she blew the audience (and me) away! A standing ovation-not bad for an "opening act"-and well deserved. Fantastic vocalist and musician!
