Laurie Lewis - Is the Blue Moon Still Shining?

[TavernGrass]

Gene Libbea on bass, David Grier on guitar. Great performance!

[TheBeregorn]

Does anyone have a video of her version of When the Cactus is in bloom??? I'm lookin' everywhere for it and I can't find it!

[sull23371]

No one can beat Laurie at this song. She sings it as if she wrote this great song I get chills listening to her sing. The Harmony wasn't bad either. Jim Sullivan

[chessvi1]

No one does it better than this young lady - beautiful rendition!

[melvoid]

Why bother comparing her voice to Alison Krauss? They're not even similar. You might compare Suzanne Cox to Krauss, but why Lewis? That's like comparing Vince Gill's singing to Rod Stewart's.

And sandpaper? You gotta be kidding. Well, Rod Stewart's, maybe.

[trainroomgary]

Hello - Very well done, Thank-you for sharing your music.

[lewieloris]

That is NOT Roy Huskey playing bass. It's Gene Libbea. Thank you for posting this video. It was a pretty special show for me.

[k4rotube]

The video is pretty fuzzy, but I believe the bass player is Gene Libbea.

[MirrjamE]

@k4rotube Yes, I think you are right. Look at Nashville Bluegrass Band - Blue Train. There you can see him clearly. There are two bass players who are easy to recognize, Roy Huskey Jr and the way he moves his right arm and Mark Schatz who is jumping up and down.

If you saw the comment someone posted about this lady, you would sure be upset as I am. I think it has been removed, Had I been as low as them, I would go somewere and HIDE, Why did you want to hurt this little lady with your filth? don't you wish you could sing like her??. Laurie that is a Great song, And you can damn sere sing it, God bless you my friend, 10-e-c,

[tinhattie]

The bass player is Roy Huskey Jr.

[MirrjamE]

My guess is that the bassplayer is Tom Grey from the Seldom Scene and the Country Gentlemen.

[Reiffan]

"Haven of mercy" is the very best song by Laurie - in my opinion... Sad song but with so much emotions

[m7lists]

Wow.

She sounds like sandpaper compared to Alison Krauss.

[0ldb1ll]

@m7lists The great benefit of country music is that the individuality of sound is not technologised out of existence. Her voice is her own and far from unpleasant but different from Alison Krauss. After all, some people say that they don't like the voice of Iris Dement but it fits the music.

[artnh]

@m7lists But Alison no longer sings bluegrass. She turned her back on us.

[bgrjabrindo]

Thanks BluegrassLibrary for posting this great bluegrass number written by Melissa Monroe sung by Laurie Lewis.This is how bluegrass is supposed to be,simple humble words that hits the heart,thanks,Eric.

[rhniraq]

A great play off of and tribute to Bill Monroe's "Blue Moon of Kentucky,"

[buchananstreet]

well done, but NOTHING matches bill himself singing this, NOTHING, sorry ....

[flingalbunt]

What a beautiful voice - what a beautiful lady!

[MrGcraig]

Jerry and Sam make everyone they play with sound better than excellent. Saw a show where they were playing with Lyle Lovett. Those 2 could sound like a horn section when needed. They are the BEST

[NMHighPlains]

David Grier on guitar. Laurie sounds GREAT on this vid.

I watch this from Germany. I've seen Laurie many years ago in Stuttgart. I never forgot 'Who will watch the homeplace'. But this song is wonderful,too.

[jaredgetsacookie]
