I found so many treasures here on youtube that I want to share another diamond with you to say "thank you!". Roscoe learned this from a record by Ralph Stanley done in the 1950s. This was recorded in New York City, 1961. I can't really put in words what Roscoe's voice does with me...

I first heard this song at a Folk Festival many years ago. Thank you for posting this as it is the closest I have heard it done since that time. It was more often played as a fiddle tune. Again thank you, I love these words and the melody.

Bet Roscoe is very proud of Sawyer on The Voice for a blind audition. Now his work is notable.

My father's family is from Kentucky going back to the 1700s. This is very meaningful to me as I attempt to trace my ancestry.
