  • And my favorite, Donal Lunny on bouzouki.

  • not all the songs on Transatlantic Sessions work but this what its all about pure gold

  • Wow...

    Dougie is one of my favourite artists but I never heard him sing this before. I knew it was his song but I only ever heard it from my Unvle Davy. Him and I sing it to a totally different tune! xD

    <3 Dougie Maclean

    Ookami Tala xx

  • Wonderful. Thanks so much for posting this :) Bri

  • My favorite song of Dougie's hands down... I remember walking the streets of Las Vegas listening to this song on my IPod and thinking about how true the lyrics were in contrast to the glitter and sham that surrounded me. I put the song on repeat and listened to it for the next few hours as I roamed around taking in how scarred that city seemed underneath all the shiny neon.

  • I love this...he has a great voice...listen to it with my mornin' coffee.....

  • I'm an American 20 year old guy. Like many of my friends we've been looking for music like this. What a beautiful sound.

  • truly great song great blend of voices . backing band not too shabby either !!!

  • Thank goodness there is Youtube so we can listen to great music like this instead of the garbage they play on the radio!!

  • @Albertan1956 & them some!

  • Had forgotten how good Dougie is. Great songwriter.

  • Fantastic!!!

  • Had the distinct pleasure of being blessed with his talent. One of a kind. May we all be so worthy. Blessings.

  • This is one of the great songs of the real Celtic tradition and well done by all concerned. The Celtic spiritualist, John O'Donohue would be well pleased I'm sure.

    Than you.

  • You can't miss the "magic dobro" of Gerry Dougas

  • his music is like magic. saw him in concert tonight and I'm glowing. :)

  • Sunambra - Dougie pretty much never plays in standard tuning. Usually a dropped 'C' tuning.

  • Anybody remember a fantastic BBC programme about Dougie Maclean and Kathy Mattea... Broadcast in 1996 I think. I have it on VHS tape somewhere. Is it on DVD..?

  • Jonnay1986 I'm sure I saw it on the Dougie Maclean website

  • *****

  • You can get this music on amazon cd or dvd

  • Love this sooo much

  • does anyone know were i can get a dvd of the original transatlantic sessions .. please help,

    thanks Stu

  • love this version of the song. originally from Dougie's Indigenous album. A lot of other good tracks on this as well

  • What a fabulous song!! I know its boring and I should be able to figure it our myself but......I can't!! (LOL) ..... so, is Dougie in an open tuning? DADGAD or "D"???

    I am blown away....what a cracker of a tune!

  • Can be either DADGAD or DADF#AD i use latter

  • Thanks Wizzy.... appreciated!

  • Im sure Dougie is playing in standard tuning here

  • Good News. Transatlantic Sessions Original Series (Series One) now available on PAL DVD - at long last

  • Why can't we get more of this on the BBC? Surely time for an update or reunion?

  • Should it be of interest, Kathy Mattea is involved in the filming of a Transatlantic Sessions series 4 30 Jan - 01 Feb. No idea who else is attending this time.

  • Anyone know who the bodhran player is?

  • See percussion in sidebox.

  • Great video!

  • time to bump this video

    thanks again for posting this and keeping the fire burning

  • This is a beautiful song. I love it. Thanks for posting.

  • Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever".

    All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

  • very nice song!!!!!!!!!!

  • Go Dougie!!

  • Sook the Dougie !!!

  • This is a grate song! 5 Stars... I love Jerry's dobro playing.

  • cheers!

  • Thanx for posting this and the others.Itapedi from t.v. years ago but  lost the tape . great to see and hear it again!

  • mnemonyxx...Randomly discovered this song, while searching for Jerry Douglas videos...uh...wow. It's kinda my new favourite song. Thanks for re-introducing me to Dougie, and for the rest of your videos.

  • Wow. This song blows me away. I just discovered him by complete accident on the internet today. What a blessing! And as a budding songwriter, his lyrics are so on point. Wow.

  • I adored this - Thanks for posting saved to favorites : )

  • I adored this .. Thanks for posting saved to favorites : )

  • This is great! I have loved his music for long years now, it would be wonderful to have more of his work available online...I probably won't ever have a chance to see him in a live performance.

  • I hope that's not true - he is awesome live. I've seen him 5 or 6 times - my husband knows that whenever Dougie comes within 100 miles of us, we're going. ;-) I'm really excited because this summer he is touring with his entire band.

  • This is great. Thanks for the post. We need more of Dougie on YouTube. I was dissapointed with Mary Black's version of Dougie's song. I thought it lacked fire - unlike Dougie's own version, which is so wired. I've seen him perform this song solo and it's still a knockout!

  • One of my favourite Dougie Songs, always goes down a treat at our sessions.

    Dougie Rules !!!

  • Great music, great lyrics. Thank you for posting this.

  • Love this! Thank you for posting this exceptional performance!

  • Dougie, is still Scotlands best kept secret despite his immense talents.

    "Gawn yersel big man !"

  • Lively and enchanting sounds and rhythm ... Jerry Douglas !!! ... thank you for posting all this : )
