The beginnings of American Bluegrass music are in the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland. And this song is the best example of the Scot/Irish heritage in Bluegrass. It is always good to remember our roots.

I first heard this Amazing song on A CD by the Epic Fiddler /Musician Laurie Lewis simply called "Birds"and I just fell stoned in Love with it.. it is so much slower than this and haunting.. I do adore this version of this Song.. what a great tempo and honest feel..the Voices are such a great fit! Gramercy and True resonance in Love and Music to all OXOX

It's Jerry Douglas on dobro. I don't even have to see his face to recognize the Master

Beautiful tempo so endearing this song and great to find out how old it is..According to a site there is another verse left out that is stunning as well. Such a great assembly of musicians. Looking down the posts I am astonished that people want it played faster it is perfect here. Guess they are used to bluegrass where everything is speed up. This is a dance tempo not a fast clogging song. They must be real young

It couldn't be played better by anyone. Tempo and blend are perfect. I wonder if this comes from a CD?

I was really interested to read an earlier contributor suggest this Molski/ Fowlis version is too slow. And also the suggestion it is a Civil War song. In fact one of the original manuscripts of the song can be found at the Bodleian Library and have been dated between 1685 and 1714 ... So how old are you?The beauty and joy of Folk music is that it is a living tradition, so there is never a right or wrong way to play - only good or bad ... and that is purely personal.

After reading through the thread below, I just wish I could get those last 10 minutes back.

The 'Show Ponies' version is slower, but just as beautiful as this. That is all. :)

You can perform any song wrong or poorly and this one is done church slow. And, is not a good example of this great song. If people want to know how it goes, this is not the ticket. My version is more in line with how the writer envisioned the tune, and is not how the church lady destroyed it.
