White Antelope (Robin Pecknold) - Blues Run The Game

legend in the flesh, he will continue to amaze us

I do admire this guy more than any other current musician. His music is a medicine, it makes me feel better even when i'm deeply sad.

At 1:01 we see her beautiful sister Aja.

Can anyone work out what tuning he's using? I'm thinking it's a modified open D.

I remember being there. I didn't know who would be Joanna Newsom's opener, but when Robin started playing, I was pleasantly surprised!

HOLY CRAP! He covered Blues Run the Game. This is awesome.

Yeah, the original is by Jackson C. Frank (well-worth hearing as well as his other work) and it was covered by Simon & Garfunkel and Nick Drake.

@mallwalker1997 Right on! Simon and Garfunkel's version pretty cool too. Nick Drake just wins though..

@OsheaElijiaAdamsLevy yes!

This really kicks my buns. I love the Nick Drake version and this is just fantastic. im glad somebody understands the classics.

Excluding the original by Jackson C. Frank, this is my favorite rendition. Robin is helping to keep the sincerely simplistic music of yesteryear alive.
