Was a big Bob Dylan fan in the 60s and early 70's, while slowly subsiding from him until the "Traveling Wilburys". This man, Robert Zimmerman, born a Jew, from Hibbing, Minnesota and moving to New York, later becoming a Christian is an icon in American history music industry. Daniel Emmett from Ohio wrote and arranged this "Dixie", that both Southerners and many Northerners appreciate the deep proud and cultural meaning of this song. Bob Dylan, you're still the man. Thanks for singing this great, legendary song.
This song is one that can bring tears of joy to a Southerner in the Celtic South, as it is sometimes called. (Settled by the Scots-Irish, mainly). A proud people from a proud heritage.
thanks Bob. Great version. In 1861 most people in the south were so poor they all worked like slaves. Most people were too poor to own slaves. You had rich assholes on both sides who (as usual) had poor people fight a war. I am from the south, the mountains of western North Carolina, where we were still dirt poor in 1961, the year I was born. I have met good and bad people from both sides if the Mason Dixon. I am still poor but have paid my hard earned money 11 times to see mr Dylan perform. Thanks for these great historical photos. They are just like Bob. Honest, not on one side or the other, just the plain picture of the truth.
carlos vc my father (from NC) said "its a rich man's war, but a poor man's fight ". Of course, you can't make blanket statements, but most wars were fought to make rich and powerful people more rich and powerful. Listen to "Hunting Pirates" by Turisas
Jealous? The haters only hate the systematic and irrational hate that too many Southerners own. To be fooled is one thing, but to remain fooled is another.
+Jeremy Ingram I love the song too. But the fact is, it's supposed to be sung in blackface. The song is about blacks who would rather be in the south, than free men in the north. Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite anthems and it actually makes me nostalgic for Tennessee. But let's not ignore the history of the song. We have to take the bad with the good.
I agree. Nobody understands the true meaning of the confederacy and people look at this rich American history and make fun of it. It wasn't all about slavery, these fucking sheltered kids want to say "oh it's mean". Life is mean.
When I hear Bob Dylan sing this immortal song I can imagine him around a camp fire with a mug of coffee and a flask of hootch to go with it. BTW to all those arm chair pholosophers - as an old soldier I can assure you all that young men have always died so the old men can keep their money and their power. It's just the way of things. Thanks for the post
I'd be more inclined to imagine him in SS uniform. Dixie, the Horst Wessel Lied, one of a kind. Prefer Joan Baez singing Mine Eyes have seen the Glory.
Awesome song... I love our Country, even though we are the Divided States of America now. I will never listen to the haters trashing it, nor will I change! God bless America! 🙋♥️✝️♥️🇺🇲
I was born in DC on a hot July afternoon.. I can't do anything about where I was born, but Momma took care of the rest. She was born and raised in Alabama and brought me up in Virginia. My heart will always be in Dixie.
Grand Song!! ánd Images! Does Larry Campbell🌺 sings too? Take it Dixie was a South area of cottonfields and hard work area…? Song also of Tribute to them people.. Thanks Dylan🌺❣️👌🌹❣️
goober goober He was Jewish. Used to sing protest songs about injustice then he adopted the religion of the people who administered injustice to his ancestors.
I live in UK and we had our own cowboy club this song was our national anthem with our stars and bars and confederate uniforms we war the smartest club miles around good old Dixie and gentlemen from the south lets hear the rebel yell
Zig Zag I'm impressed I couldn't walk for over a year and even longer before I could handle a shovel I've never been to South Wales but I would have liked to have seen it for sure!
Yes, because my granny had two grand grand uncles on Texas at that time. They're was fighting against the North.....my granny told me, your grand uncles they are was Confederates, so, Hooray, Hooray, long live to DIXIE! and the General Lee.
Historians verify that "Dixie" was a powerful and sentimental tune popular and commonly sung by both the union and rebel soldiers. Lets hope the liberal cry babies of 2015 do not obliterate this beautiful tune to correct any injustice done to black Americans.
When you think calling someone a different view point then yours you automatically lose. I heard this in the movie "Masked and Anonymous" not through a sore loser version of a civil war reenactment
It is truly one of the finest American songs. It should be played in the South without shame, despite being written be a dude from Ohio, nothing quite captures that feeling of an idealized South as this song.
I'd be for it myself!!!I see the union as a failed state and I do know for a fact that we southerners are discriminated against and made fun of up north!!!My older brother is a witness to that because he's lives in Connetticutt and when he mentions that he is originally from Georgia...people automatically start to make negative comments to his face etc.
Bob singing this makes a lot more sense if you have seen Masked and Anonymous. It's the American Rebel, singing the ultimate American Rebel song, during a time of American Rebellion...
David Sciacca I was an army brat back in 55 at Fort Brag. My white mother and I were driving around and stopped at a country store which had only blacks. They ran my mother through there to get what she wanted to buy as fast as possible. Mom was from northern Wisconsin and thought blacks were just like everyone else. Years later I figured out that the blacks were afraid of being lynched just for talking to a white woman.
Ron Wheeldon; In 1983, my children and I were traveling through Alabama when our car broke down.. We were given a ride by some poor Kentuckians who crowded us and our cat in with their family.. They took us to their home for the night, one small motel room.. We were trying to get to Fort Benning, GA, for my older son's graduation from jump school, the next day.. The gentleman who gave us the ride had to go to work then and he asked a black friend to drive us the rest of the way.. The black friend had to wait for another friend to get off work to go with us.. His friend was a black woman.. Seems it wasn't safe for a black man and white woman to ride together.. I was asked to ride in the back seat to make it clear that he and I were not together.. The black woman was there as added security.. I was shocked that that people felt that way at that point in time.. I don't remember their names but I will always be grateful to this group of friends who helped us in our time of need.. BTW that Kentuckian was afraid of black cats but letours in his car anyway..
50% of Americans decedents come from Confederate American soldiers who were fighting tyranny by the northern “government”. It was an invasion by the north which was a violation of our Constitution. Lincoln said he didn’t want to free the slaves if he didn’t have to. There were more Irish slaves in the north than Africans in the south. Slavery was a failing business model in the south and was fading out on it’s own. Lincoln only invaded the south because the south was providing the majority of the taxes to the federal government. When the south refused to have it’s taxes wasted as was it’s right. #TheSouthRises2021
Indeed, I recognized this picture. But the rest of the pictures used in the video featuring cotton in them would have assuredly been from Dixie, as there was no cotton production in California or even anywhere in the US outside Dixie in the early 20th century.
THIS heritage is to be acknowledged, but never 'honored'. There is NO pride in the legacy of slavery. It is time to admit it, get over it and move on.....woke or not.
1:15 I think i seen a rendering of that image drawn by Woody Guthrie at some point. I remember thinking that it always looked like one of Woody's renditions of a self-portrait.
i think some of those people were my relatives. my mom picked cotton, my brother did, my sister did, but my daddy died young, working in a coal mine, but I never picked cotton.
Johnny Cee lol, you liked the roy clarke song connection? never picked cotton is a classic. but truly, I love this song by Dylan. I don't listen to any one person's music en mass, nor too often, but this one never makes me grow tired. I feel like he really loves it down south, and there are a lot of good people here.
not really, it's saddens me that you only prescribe to a brainwashed point of view, tell me who was the last general in the southern states to surrender
Dang; and you were doing so well! First law of trolling - never, never, never get boring. I'm only telling this for training purposes; normally, I'd have ignored such a boring comment. But keep trying - I'm sure you'll be a proper troll by your 15th birthday - but there's a lot of competiton among chip-on-the-shoulder republicans, so NEVER be boring. Lesson ends; now SOD OFF. Thanks ;o)
This is the only video I can find on this song. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED AND IF YOU THINK SO WE WILL ALL TAKE YOU DOWN. DON'T FUCK WITH FREE SPEECH. YOU SHOULD BE ON OUR SIDE
Dixie will NEVER truly die. And congrats to Minnesota's own Bob Dylan for his Nobel Prize.

Always love this song and I am so grateful for you posting this because now I remember why is this exact version
A very interesting version of this cool song. Dylan is a genius.

This ain't a racist song. To me it's emotional, other people don't get it but southerners do.
exactly brother, its just the lack of education that comes from certain people!!
+Jeremy Ingram I love the song too. But the fact is, it's supposed to be sung in blackface. The song is about blacks who would rather be in the south, than free men in the north.

+EiranEireann IranIreland well it will probably sound bad but not all was black and white
+EiranEireann IranIreland , Then you have no understanding of the root cause that led to the Southern States seceding from the Union.

Great, he captures my emotion.
Whoda thought it from a Minnesotta man.
As a southerner, born and bred, I say "well done ".....
In*
This is the first time I've heard this version.🤔 If I didn't already know better, you'd think Dylan wrote this himself. Fantastic
Love the way he's singing it.
Wonderful. Great video, great song. Thanks for posting!
A tribute to Bob Dylan and God save the South!!!

8th day in a row and I still cannot get this song out of my mind...
Been out the south for a while... oh how I miss Dixie
And tears of pain and tears of rage.

I went to Dixie hights high school. Love this song!!!
Haunting and beautiful combination of song and images. One of my favorites on RUclips. Thank you!
Be respectful, a lot better men than us died under that anthem. Some were my forefathers I'd be proud to say.
Got that right, both sides.
Yes, because my granny had two grand grand uncles on Texas at that time. They're was fighting against the North.....my granny told me, your grand uncles they are was Confederates, so, Hooray, Hooray, long live to DIXIE! and the General Lee.
Congratulations on your forefathers who faught to keep other humans enslaved for financial gain for themselves, very RESPECTFUL, congratulations
Be respectful, lots of slaves were beaten and killed. Now I’m pretty right leaning but they are using pictures of slaves and shit like come on
@@zcoleman4187 Did they not fight for states rights? States rights to own slaves? Their slaves, on their plantations?

There was and is no one like Bob Dylan
Well done, Bob.
Thanks growser!
What could be more fitting than a traditional song sung by classic Bob?!
See we all worked together and loved one another
Dragging a sack through that delta dust,
when cotton was King.
Dylan appreciated ALL American music.
Awesome!
I love Bob, and I still prefer his Oxford Town over his Dixie.
Hard as nails. Always.
If at first you don't secede ,try it again. The south shall rise again!
couldn't even get the saying right
YOYOdaMOOSE what saying?
if at first you don't succeed try and try again
I put secede on purpose. .
I'd be for it myself!!!I see the union as a failed state and I do know for a fact that we southerners are discriminated against and made fun of up north!!!My older brother is a witness to that because he's lives in Connetticutt and when he mentions that he is originally from Georgia...people automatically start to make negative comments to his face etc.

Far, far less hate and animosity in Dixie Land.
except the whole enslavement thing
If Robert E Lee hadn't charged the union line on day 3 at Gettysburg, we wouldn't be in the mess were in now. God bless Dixie!!!

I was surprised when I discovered that we play this song with our fifes (and drums), called Uncle Sam.
Needs to be US national Anthem.
Not to be pedantic, but 1:08 is not the South- it is the famous Depression-era photo by Dorothea Lang- in California....
Indeed, I recognized this picture. But the rest of the pictures used in the video featuring cotton in them would have assuredly been from Dixie, as there was no cotton production in California or even anywhere in the US outside Dixie in the early 20th century.
