having a scotsman as a father, hearing this makes me miss him thank you sam. I used to live in glasgow for a short while and this makes me miss my second home.
This was exceptionally outstanding. Authentic and raw as all hell, too. Probably not too far off from the way this would have sounded when it was played in the hills and hollers of Appalachia a couple hundred years ago. Beautiful ballads like these remind me of our intertwined cultures, our shared language, and kindred origins. Good stuff, my friend! God bless you, - from your American cousin across the pond.
I am a 12th generation Appalachian of Scot descent, I can say that this is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, and I saw Ralph Stanley sing it in person. Great job, love it!

Incredibly underrated. You have the perfect voice for this genre of music! I've replayed your Appalachian and western songs so many times now.

I discovered this song from Pete Seeger but this one is so much better. I absolutely love it, thank you for keeping Scotland's songs alive.
By far the best version of the song i have ever heard
Beautiful rendition of a great song . Superb picking , set against an amazing backdrop. Thank you very much , Sorley.
