How have 3 people disliked this???

[sh4rab]

just about the most perfect song to get those emotions going - Powell has that innocent give- it - all-american voice - utterly stunning. this guy is so under-rated its criminal. you only have to look at who wanted to back him on this song to see how revered he is over here.

[gtrplr42]

can anyone tell me what cd/dvd this is from? I am trying to find it so I can purchase it but I can't seem to locate this one.

Thanks

[solarflare1100]

[zimmy81]

[ireland4lyfe]

kinda not a big deal but you have Tim O Brien listed as playing the fiddle.... but hes playing a mandolin.

[tomtscotland]

@ireland4lyfe

Well spotted - now fixed ;)

[liliodine]

Who are the 2 tards voting down? Sheesh.

[AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Beauty!

[roseartlefty]

Wonderful!

[jimburp]

was john McCusker from the Bothy Band?

[Trunchisholm]

@jimburp He's way too young for that. He played with the Battlefield Band for many years, though.

[ThePapillon2705]

@jimburp Must have been in dipers then

[gasmeter1947]

brilliant, shame the camera person was not a musician, he or she could have pointed the camera at the correct place at the right time, but still better than pop camera people, they are mental. Love this music though

[17Hongo]

Saw these guys in Manchester - they didn't have Bruce Molsky with them though! wonderful song - so deep and soulful. as a banjo learner, I can only hope I will be as good as dirk!

I've seen Bruce live solo too - always fantastic

[dermotjl]

the flute/whistle is caled a low whistle. gorgeous instrument

[breeda19butnot4ever]

I seen this song performed live at Birmingham Symphony Hall, beautiful, would love to know what the song is about?

[Jimmy34549]

what kind of flute/ whistle is being played here?

[Trunchisholm]

@Jimmy34549 It's a Kerry Pro Low F whistle

[Wavingcatsitter]

I went to watch the transatlantic sessions' performance in Manchester this year..His performance was amazing! God everytime I listened to this tune i felt like crying...

[aelredx]

great stuff

[Lucarius1]

Heard and saw that song live this year in Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. just fantastic

[tamnaya]

Amazing and fantatic never feel boring watch that video!!!

[dieghinos]

[wellusedtube]

[bigirish5322]

[FraserGandy15]

[MattSteidl]

MAGIC! Sounds like the Transatlantic Sessions! I LOVE IT!

[earthgriot1]

This guy is the reason I learned to play.......

[borealify]

Dirk Powell rocks. This is a lovely tune and all of you do it so beautifully.

[meloderon]

Ye Yaille, great vid.

Thanks.



[redeye99999]

what an amazing voice and very talented musicians

[zimmy81]

oh fluck,so beautiful.

[zimmy81]

Faved n raved.

[sanjuancb]

My goodness this song depresses me every time I listen to it---it is just incredibly beautiful!

[rmstudio]

Hey thank you to the poster for putting this on here. I really enjoy Dirk Powell and Alison Krauss dobro player and the cameo of Music producer on the mando.. I never seen this before and love this song of Dirks. Really good stuff.

[stringsinger100]

I like Dirk and his playing and singing but this session is too much. All these instruments bog the song down. it's too heavy even with these fantastic musicians.

it plods when it should dance. Too excessive. it doesn't have that lighter banjo touch that I've heard Dirk get. Also, Dirk's vocal gets lost in this big band. You don't hear the interplay between the banjo and the voice which marks the great folksingers' musicality.

[zimmy81]

@stringsinger100 I thought it was perfection

[QRS666]

This song is so damn beautiful, I can hardly hold my tears back. Simply amazing how music can affect us.

[guywolff]

@QRS666 Thanks for getting me here Anders .. I dont know this song in this setting .Great aditions on Harmony .. I hope Bruce comes passed my dor some time . It would be great to play with him some .. All the best , guy

[blerton1982]

This music gets to your heart..

[madfortrad07]

Great song !



[liliodine]

Thanks sooooooooo much for posting. He is AWESOME. What a beautiful song. Thanks again, Cajun enthusiast!

[mobilechief]

@liliodine Hey check out Tim O'Brien, ya might enjoy also.

[mobilechief]

Words can not describe beauty in ones eyes nor ones hart, thankful be that theirs music !

[ChristopherDowning]

I'ts a song about being flooded out of your home. Waterbound means flooded in Tennessee. Try the Scott Nygard version - faster but still haunting.

[burkardheike]

@ChristopherDowning thanks man!

[mobilechief]

@ChristopherDowning yep but it can also mean in life, that's why folk music has it appeal.

[burkardheike]

very beautiful song...

i understand the words but not really the meaning behind it yet...could someone help me to understand it better?

[elginabeth]

Beautiful...

[theisen1974]

I can't help it. Just tears. It's that real and that good and that honest. It's all that.

It's all i feel and all i can't find the words for. And it's this song that made me stop and turn around. I will be home soon. I'll meet you boys on the other side.

[folkfiddleplayer]

@theisen1974 - I'm with you. This one stopped me in my tracks.

[JSCWhistler]

Don't forget about John McCusker up there on fiddle, too!

Great, great song...

[tomtscotland]

@JSCWhistler

OOPs - don't know how I missed John out - I was in second row :) Now added.

[Bondomusic]

One of the best songs I have ever heard. Absolutely amazing.
