@killutilludi calm down killer, all i was saying if you compare seven nations army and this song, their like two different worlds I had never seen this side of Jack White.
"Where I saw him in action was on film sets. I spent a week in a remote area of northern Romania's Carpathian mountains, as he shot several scenes of Cold Mountain with Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger and Philip Seymour Hoffman. This arduous shoot lasted six months in often appalling conditions. Battle scenes were shot in blistering heat; later, temperatures plunged to minus 20C." - David Gritten
in a way...i have to thank the music industry for hitting a complete dead end, and producing damn near nothing but lyrical and audio vomit for the past couple years. in my disgust for the direction music has gone as of late, i have fallen back on the old and discovered a most beautiful and powerful artistry, one that now holds a very dear place in my heart.
SoBelleofTN- Thats awesome! Love this movie, love the music, (btw, my fater is from Tennessee, an I spend my formative years there. Miss it badly...) I just read your post to my hubby and he was stunned. Pretty cool...
@NicciCoxify - Everyone who came from Tennessee, have always wanted to return to it ! I also left home after school married my husband who was a military man and we spent the next 21 years traveling all over the USA and overseas as well. When It came time for him to retire we had to decide where to live and spend our lives with two children one still in school. It didn't take us long to say Tennessee, perfect place to live, smaller town environment , nice friendly people! so here we are.
Drinking beer, bondo dust smell, I think Stuart ... if you are listening ... did a nice job ... pro ... a little over played ... come over ... ill give you a nice old rough country viola to play and the feel will be ... eternal sadness ... no ... nice ... i like. And I think Mike Compton on mando ... excellent, and who is clawhammer? I'm so ignorant! I hate computers ... but wish I had youtube when I was a kid!!!!!
i'm from chicago...i spent 7 years in Texas...it's hard when you're from both sides...heart, soul and humanity lives in the south...except for the race thing...i appreciate the few black folks you didn't crush...they're bigger better Americans than most of us...
I adore this song. I come from a very Irish and Scottish family and this songs origins come from Britain. I am also a proud American and this song fits SO well with our American southern folk music. This song feels like the essence of everything that I am.
@MuslimahSoapbox Ah, Scottish and Irish? So that's why I love this music so much! My mother and ancestors are/were Scottish and I hadn't heard this song, or type of music until I saw Cold Mountain and simply fell in love with it. Just didn't know why it spoke to my soul so much - now I do thanks to your comment! It's in my blood! Peace!
I love how the Movie this song is for takes place in the History of my Home County in North Carolina. Its a great movie too, Wish I had it with me to watch every now and then.
My kinsemen fought for both the North and the South; therefore, I'll sing "Dixie and Rally Roubnd the Flag". They gathered at Gettysburg on 1 July 1863. One was wounded and the other killed -- a Reb and a Yank. It's music like this song that brings it all back home. It's our History.
@ernstbecker1 cool. i have family on both sides too. haha and you know, they were at a few of the same battles so my great great grandfathers might have been shooting each other
@DurhamRebel I had the same feeling. While visiting Gettysburg, one can't help feel an overall serenity. It is hard to picture that such a beautiful place witnessed such a trajedy.
I cringe every time I hear this version, it's so "Cold Mountain" forced. I was disappointed in the choosing of Jack White for this historically Appalachian song, but I guess Hollywood knows best, what do I know, I was only born & raised in Kentucky. BTW, I like Jack White, just not singing this song.
This song is sung in my church, but usually a more gospel sounding a capella version. My church is way out in the North Carolina mountains, an hour from the nearest town where people still live like you see in this movie
Growing up in KY, I've enjoyed a lot of brilliant bluegrass artists singing this tune. I've from the same place as Mr. Bill Monroe and his version can't be beat. Jack did a fantastic job and is a very, very talented man, but when your roots are that of Mr. Monroe's, you're validated and all those who hear can feel it.
This song is Appalachian Folk, written and sung by those who had nothing, but knew where and in whom their hope lay. Their hope lay in heaven, across the Jordan with their Savior, Christ, who without faith in no man nor woman can cross over Jordan completing their journey home. Heaven is our hope and our home. We are all wayfaring strangers here, we belong in Heaven with our eternal Father. Listen to the words of this song, and if you feel lost seek Christ securing that peace he promises.
my daddy sings this all the time playin his banjo, i love it <3 makes me feel little again. bluegrass is forever, the history, and pure good music of this country.
Without a doubt this song stronly pulls on your hearstrings. Please do yourselves a favor and listen to the version done by Tennessee Ernie Ford, you won't regret those few precious minutes.
I heard Jack White perform "Death Letter" about five years ago ... I knew then that he had it in him. I don't particularly go for most of his work but sometimes he just hits home like he did here.
@swssinc I think that he's telling you that he comes from New Zealand. Someone once told me ...." East, West, and North are just points on the compass....but South is a place..."
Being a southern girl born and raised within the military, this song brings back the memory of what our fallen were fighting for. They fought to come home.
hate to burst your bubble but bluegrass is a form of north american folk music. however, if you'll listen to this version of this song you'll note that it contains an instrumental solo, which very much makes it bluegrass. perhaps you'd enjoy coming to my hometown's Uncle Dave Macon Days bluegrass festival next July. you'll learn a lot about the difference in styles of folk music... bluegrass and otherwise. ;-)

@chyon479 looking at the white stripes ???? mate listning to the whiote stripes you can see jack whites diversity he did such a good job on this because hes such a fantastic musician bad comment u made there find out more about mr jack white dude
There really was a " William P. Inman", for those who saw "Cold Mountain",the movie. I have found his record and he signed up with the Confederacy in 1861 at the age of 22. He was from Haywood Co. North Carolina. Inman served in the 25th N.C. Infantry in Co. F. He signed up at Camp Davis near Wilmington N.C. and was in two hospitals, during the war, with a neck wound. Amazing!
@SoBelleofTN There really is a Cold Mountain too. I can turn my head and see it out my window. Inman has his own chapel about 10 minutes away that still gets used occasionally. He's still got relatives around that I know.
@SoBelleofTN Yeah. The character is based off the ancestor of the writer of the book. Charles Frazier had an ancestor named Inman and he used the name and the setting as a means to tell a great story.
@SoBelleofTN No way.......if so that is truly amazing and even more so that you found that out!!!! that makes me happy that someone likes to learn our history too!!!!......thats really amazing!!!!
@SoBelleofTN W. P. Inman was actually the great-great-uncle of the author of Cold Mountain, Charles Frazier :) Inman's story was handed down to him from his father.
Kazda z pisnicek k tomuto filmu je jedna velka dokonalost..Clovek si je musi prehravat porad a porad a porad,pze kdyz uz je ma vryte pod kuzi a dochazi mu dech,tak se muze pri poslechu zase v klidu nadechnout a oddat se tomu,co se v nem odehrava..
when you are from the South, you are of the South, and it is part of you, no shame...just unspoken pride. My Grandpaw sang this to me when I was a little girl
@SenseiSixx You should watch the movie, too. It's different from the book in many aspects (particularly the romance), but just as touching and moving.
I have. I thought it was good. Obviously like all other book/movie remakes not near as good as the novel. But the all south eastern touch they flavored the movie with was amazing. We read this for a class I'm taking. We've read 3 others since then. Still definitely one of my favorites.
This song reminds me so much last winter,sitting in a shed, in the middle january, it was really cold, but me and my close friends just sat around listening to the cold moutain sound track sippin' on beer.
To the person who mentioned Inman, the real William P. Inman was 22 years old in 1862. He was one of 5 brothers to join a North Carolina unit but only he & his brother, Lewis, were in the same unit. They both deserted twice & by 1864 had pledged an oath of loyally to the US. There is no real evidence to support if he was killed by the real head of the homeguard, Teague, 5 miles from his home. Military records show his brother was with him throughout the war and Lewis made it home safely.
The real "Cold Mountain", lies at the base of the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina. There was also a real Inman as well, who joined the Confederate army and fought in the Civil War, from this area. It was somewhere close to Asheville area. The man who wrote the book, Charles Frazier, is from that area, is said to have done his research well before writing the book. If you think the movie is great read the book! It is awesome and even better than the movie. Loaded with vivid historical detail.
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up! Is the book 13 Moons also on the lines of Cold Mountain or can you tell us what it is about? I do Civil War research and actually found a man by the name of "Inman", from the western mountain area of North Carolina. The sad part is that the movie wasn't filmed their, but in a foreign country!
13 Moons is more of the Native American side of things. I apologize but I can't remember a whole lot of the details. What I do remember though is the feeling it left me with. Moving!! And his knowledge on the subject matter is extensive. A must read. Enjoy :-)
Thirteen Moons is the story about the life of a white man who had been raised and adopted by the Cherokee after his relatives disowned him. He became an outspoken advocate for Native American rights, and was also elected Senator, as he continued fighting for their rights. He was also a Confederate guerilla commander during the War. The story spans over 100 years, from the 1820s to about 1920, near the end of his life. It is an absolutely beautiful and heartwarming novel. You must read it :D
Thanks so much for this information! I now have the book and reading it. As soon as I saw " browning bobby", post, I went straight to the book store and bought it. I have a direct decendent my GGGGG-Grandmother, whom I 'm told through research is 1/2 Native American Cherokee . She married a graduate of Dartmouth College, from Grafton , Mass. who later came to Tennessee . This man my direct ancestor , became quite famous for the times and was a friend of Andrew Jackson , who lived close by.
I got the book "13 Moons", and wow your absolutely right, such a good read. If anyone is interested in the Native American Cherokee's of the Smokey Mountains area of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, this is a must to read. Charles Frazier , has done it again with this book. I hope they make a movie from this book, just like "Cold Mountain" that he also wrote. He is originally from the area that his books portray, no wonder they are so fantastic!
just saying there is no place called cold mountian, and do you know how rare a Le Mat revolver is? Im just saying historically it was somewhat lacking. Yet still a decent movie.
A. Its based on a book, a historical fiction book, meaning it can take creative license. And actually there is a Cold Mountain in NC just not a town called Cold Mountain. Le Mat revolvers may be rare but they do appear.
I'm as much as a history fanatic as the next gal (i'm actually OCD about it) but this was a good movie and it was not historically lacking.
not saying there wasn't a Cold Mtn. (just that there is not at town) and not saying is not a good movie. Just saying there were some areas that needed improving.
There is actually a place called Cold Mountain. Actually, 2 places: One in North Carolina, USA, the other in West Sichuan Province, China. Also, LeMat revolvers may be rare but there are over 3,000 of them produced during the war. As a matter of fact, I own one, a Third Model built in 1864. Very beautiful gun.
So many people I've asked have never seen this film, and when I insist they do, they always thank me. It s so dreadfully overlooked. I guess we have it all to ourselves in a way.
yeah i just saw it last night for the first time on TV. I have seen it played a lot but just passed it. But i am really glad i saw it. One of my new favorites!
tis dm my friend its a fun song i just learned it the licks are awsome!

There really was a " William P. Inman", for those who saw "Cold Mountain",the movie. I have found his record and he signed up with the Confederacy in 1861 at the age of 22. He was from Haywood Co. North Carolina. Inman served in the 25th N.C. Infantry in Co. F. He signed up at Camp Davis near Wilmington N.C. and was in two hospitals, during the war, with a neck wound. Amazing!

@SoBelleofTN There really is a Cold Mountain too. I can turn my head and see it out my window. Inman has his own chapel about 10 minutes away that still gets used occasionally. He's still got relatives around that I know.

@SoBelleofTN Yeah. The character is based off the ancestor of the writer of the book. Charles Frazier had an ancestor named Inman and he used the name and the setting as a means to tell a great story.

@SoBelleofTN W. P. Inman was actually the great-great-uncle of the author of Cold Mountain, Charles Frazier :) Inman's story was handed down to him from his father.

@SenseiSixx You should watch the movie, too. It's different from the book in many aspects (particularly the romance), but just as touching and moving.
mangomochiful 2 years ago
I have. I thought it was good. Obviously like all other book/movie remakes not near as good as the novel. But the all south eastern touch they flavored the movie with was amazing. We read this for a class I'm taking. We've read 3 others since then. Still definitely one of my favorites.

To the person who mentioned Inman, the real William P. Inman was 22 years old in 1862. He was one of 5 brothers to join a North Carolina unit but only he & his brother, Lewis, were in the same unit. They both deserted twice & by 1864 had pledged an oath of loyally to the US. There is no real evidence to support if he was killed by the real head of the homeguard, Teague, 5 miles from his home. Military records show his brother was with him throughout the war and Lewis made it home safely.

The movie pales in comparison to the book and certainly takes creative license in changing many critical parts; notably the opening scene.

The real "Cold Mountain", lies at the base of the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina. There was also a real Inman as well, who joined the Confederate army and fought in the Civil War, from this area. It was somewhere close to Asheville area. The man who wrote the book, Charles Frazier, is from that area, is said to have done his research well before writing the book. If you think the movie is great read the book! It is awesome and even better than the movie. Loaded with vivid historical detail.
SoBelleofTN 2 years ago
You are so right. Charles Frazier loads up the facts. Another GREAT book by him is 13 moons. Check it out :-)
browningbobby 2 years ago
Oh my gosh, I didn't know that! Thanks for the heads up! Is the book 13 Moons also on the lines of Cold Mountain or can you tell us what it is about? I do Civil War research and actually found a man by the name of "Inman", from the western mountain area of North Carolina. The sad part is that the movie wasn't filmed their, but in a foreign country!
SoBelleofTN 2 years ago
13 Moons is more of the Native American side of things. I apologize but I can't remember a whole lot of the details. What I do remember though is the feeling it left me with. Moving!! And his knowledge on the subject matter is extensive. A must read. Enjoy :-)
browningbobby 2 years ago
Thirteen Moons is the story about the life of a white man who had been raised and adopted by the Cherokee after his relatives disowned him. He became an outspoken advocate for Native American rights, and was also elected Senator, as he continued fighting for their rights. He was also a Confederate guerilla commander during the War. The story spans over 100 years, from the 1820s to about 1920, near the end of his life. It is an absolutely beautiful and heartwarming novel. You must read it :D
Rachen30 2 years ago 3
Thanks so much for this information! I now have the book and reading it. As soon as I saw " browning bobby", post, I went straight to the book store and bought it. I have a direct decendent my GGGGG-Grandmother, whom I 'm told through research is 1/2 Native American Cherokee . She married a graduate of Dartmouth College, from Grafton , Mass. who later came to Tennessee . This man my direct ancestor , became quite famous for the times and was a friend of Andrew Jackson , who lived close by.
SoBelleofTN 2 years ago
I got the book "13 Moons", and wow your absolutely right, such a good read. If anyone is interested in the Native American Cherokee's of the Smokey Mountains area of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, this is a must to read. Charles Frazier , has done it again with this book. I hope they make a movie from this book, just like "Cold Mountain" that he also wrote. He is originally from the area that his books portray, no wonder they are so fantastic!

Capt51stALA 2 years ago
A. Its based on a book, a historical fiction book, meaning it can take creative license. And actually there is a Cold Mountain in NC just not a town called Cold Mountain. Le Mat revolvers may be rare but they do appear.
I'm as much as a history fanatic as the next gal (i'm actually OCD about it) but this was a good movie and it was not historically lacking.

not saying there wasn't a Cold Mtn. (just that there is not at town) and not saying is not a good movie. Just saying there were some areas that needed improving.
Capt51stALA 2 years ago
There is actually a place called Cold Mountain. Actually, 2 places: One in North Carolina, USA, the other in West Sichuan Province, China. Also, LeMat revolvers may be rare but there are over 3,000 of them produced during the war. As a matter of fact, I own one, a Third Model built in 1864. Very beautiful gun.
