[BJPLK]

@rpr0602 you should probably start watching around 2:30 then say hes faking it.

[Foxuvius]

Ugh why is it no one can figure out that the youtube clip needs sound and PICTURE?

[juliemar3]

......and i always thought George Clooney was not just handsome but also can sing.......

such a good song

[Dvheereveld]

@juliemar3 It's not sung by george clooney but by Dan Tyminski :) I thought it was George Clooney too first.

[TheApostate118]

That guy in the back is playing a really big violin!!!

[wannabritish]

@TheApostate118 u mean the guy in the black?

his playing a Double Base Guitar

the guy in the stripes u see strumming near the end is playing the Ukelele

[xdawg51]

@wannabritish Boy am i glad you know your instruments so well. Sorry if you take that in a bad way but, the guy in black is playing an upright bass not bass guitar, and the guy in stripes is playing a mandolin not no damn ukelele....

[sharppyboy999]

this is the original song.. original singer

[Mikeyboy8325]

@sharppyboy999

actually this is not the original singer, nor the original song...the original song was recorded by a guy named Dick Burnett in the early 60's

[leoncio41]

what genre of music is this???m its amazing I´ve never heard this music before

[Iciclesxo]

@leoncio41 you need to see the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou".....

[Leidizzzle]

The second kazoo plays this melody in the icy tower theme song.

[TheReighnart]

@Leidizzzle

Yeah dude, I love that game and was addicted to the theme song, and then I realized it was Man of Constant sorrow, and that blew my mind. Such a sweet song.

[Jaffo2001]

This song was sung by my ancestor who was born in Kentucky in 1808 and he brung it over to Texas via Tennessee and Alabama while crossing the Mississippi through Missouri - along with Cotton Eye'd Joe. Hah! No one else here is even close to the Truth - All the best you can do is prove each other wrong...which of course is true. You ain't even from Kentuckee = Good song though - I like the modern versions. Song/dance is older than the Hills - Iffen you understand my meaning - Circa 1845.

[dudemanbrahman]

I play mandolin. It would have been nice to catch a glimpse of him or anyone else for that matter.

[jimmysavileobe]

i think george clooney sang it better in the film

[AndreasHaugen]

@jimmysavileobe It wasnt george who sang-.- It was this guy, Dan Tyminski

[jimmysavileobe]

@AndreasHaugen

i didnt see this guy in the film tho

[edisonphonographfan]

the guy on bass is barry bales he lives near me been to his lots of times

[zackett999]

I don't think anyone knows who did the original of this song, anymore. Bluegrass has been around since the invention of strings was brought to Kentucky! Not saying that that's when the song was made but still, the song is very old, and I'm very sure slower than the version we all know. Nickel Creek, on their first album, do a song known as "The Fox". If you have ever watched the HBO series "Deadwood", I forget which episode, but in the credits they play that song and it is much slower!

[hotlicks73]

Ralph Stanley was the one who originally did this song. I believe he wrote it. It dates back I believe to the 1940's.

[AlbertaWildman]

@hotlicks73 A man named Dick Burnett was the first to record this song, in or around 1913. He did not write the song himself; he just said that *I think I got the song from someone else, but I cannot remember who*. Ralph Stanley was born in 1927, so he could not haved composed the song. He made it famous though.

[Bing4golf]

This is the guy who does the movie, also it's in the tuning of DADGAD.

[hotlicks73]

@Bing4golf

The group that re made this song is by Alisson Krauss & Union Station. Dan Tyminski is the name of the singer who is in this video. This video isn't the allison krauss and union station but a couple of the band members or former members are playing in this video.

[47Raistlin]

This song was first published in 1913 by the blind Folk singer Richard Burnett.

[KingOfWhiteTrash1]

This guy is the voice from the movie's version of the tune.

Bet me...

[woodbutcherjohn]

That's what the credits said at the end of the movie.

[TENNSUMITSUMA]

5 dollars

[thepenispuppets]

great cover

[Goofy2149]

Great cover??? Obviously, you don't know who originally performed this version. And before there are any further comments, yes I know this is not the original, that's why I said "this version".

[hiphopdancer987]

the guys sung this at my honor chior consert :D

[jaxalude]

[bigbossman76]

No its not just drop D

[Ixtheemperor420]

[srvfan454]

[felisinbmt]

I met Dan and asked him the same thing why his new band did this as I met him in June which was near the time this video was recorded. He said it was just easier for him to do when on tour and the tempo and style the band likes. So he said he just goes with it. I can not blame him and he made sense when he said it. We all know he is capable of a much higher note than that but to do it night after night I am sure is difficult. I couldnt have met a nice guy. Love his talent.

[MarcelaRonnie]

Good jog guys!!!

[drewby613]

It is such a mystery to me why they sing this song in such a low key. Dan Tyminski has great tenor chops--this should be high lonesome, instead he sounds like a baritone. I thought they had it low in the movie for the fancy guitar picking, but this--I just don't get it. Am I wrong or is he playing this in F--capoed three, but playing out of a D grip? I'd like to hear it B. Anybody know where the Stanley Bros played it?

[blane625]

It's tuned in DADGAD, capoed three, which throws it into F. Not sure why they played it low. When the Soggy Bottom Boys recorded it in the studio with Tommy playing, it was in another key, I'm not sure what it was, but it was a lot lower.

[jocwalk]

Are you sure that's the tuning? I saw them play live just a few days ago (10/4/2008) and Dan didn't re-tune at all so either he stays tuned like that throughout the set or that's not the tuning he uses, at least not live.

[TwoCountyDuo]

I think its just capo 3

[chirfu]

Drop D tuned capoed at 3 making it F....

the recording is in the Key of F....

[chirfu]

watch the end of the video he is retuning

[Copperhead16071982]

Great song!!!!
