I want to thak you for posting this song. I'm from Wyoming County West Virginia and had to leave to find work when I was 18 and moved to Tennessee. Leaving home is the hardest thing I have ever done and I deal with it almost everyday. Your song made me feel things I haven't felt in along time. Thanks
sung from the heart, and the quilt on the bed enhances that feeling..There's a difference, between someone simply singing a song...and someone who obviously has lived the feelings in a song. You have captured that difference very nicely
Mercy, I just wish you would give your talent to the world! Do you know how awesome you are? Your voice is like a dew drop on a rose that fell on a maypop! Sweet and gentle..yet fresh and new! Awesome performance@!!!
Wow! Excellent performance of a truly fine song. I have to say I was mighty impressed. Keep it up! I would pay to hear you sing any time. As long as it was close to were I live! LoL. Can you sing "Long Black Veil" I think you would do good on that one.
I haven't left a comment for a while, but I come here often. You are awesome. You have totally captured Hazel's sound and then added your own gorgeous touches to make it your own. --Jan
Great song, and you do an awesome job singing it. I know what you mean about prefering to sing it in a lower key, but I tell you it sounds great and your voice sounds wonderful just as is. And the guitar does sound just beautiful in D.
Thanks so much! I do love this song. I did get both posts...YT is not getting things through to me, lately. Oh Well. I think my guitar's "natural tone" is D. I had another guitar, an Ibanez, that seemed to sound best in A.
Granniejans, this was awesome as usual!!! Great playing, great and beautiful singing...vocals that warm the soul. And finally, your guitar sounds great.!!
A fantastic job on the singing. I've got a live recording of Monroe and Hazel Dickens which I really like. You play this one well--the guitar sounds great.
Thanks. I love Hazel's voice and just her honest way of making music. I will say that it is not an easy song for me to sing (I should really sing in a lower key, but... I like to play it in D!
I miss the hills, the sound of the coal trucks, and the coaltrains!
