Love and miss the Reeltime Travelers

[Amakisongs]

Her voice is great!

[danuneken]

Great swinging performance!

[Threestaves]

i love them, first heard them this morning and looked them up here

[abbnerd]

Love this group its a shame they aren't performing together anymore -- I first saw them open for ymsb in tulsa in 2002 I think maybe even 2001 -- got a great recording and Martha signed my minidisc tape -- pretty cool moment for me and one I won't forget soon. Thanks for posting this!

[gooeyday]

Love the Reeltime Travelers! What happened, anyway?

[2Jakes]

There's a great new version of this by Martha Scanlan on her website. It's the title of a new book by Joyce Carol Oates that quotes the song throughout the novel.

I saw this group at the American Folk Festival in Bangor Maine a few years ago. They were great! I am so sorry to hear they aren't around any more.

[steezyzak]

I love Reeltime Travelers. Fantastic clogging and they have such a wonderful roots sound. I saw them at Fly Me to the Moon Saloon in Telluride in 2004.

[dopestarinc9868]

does anyone know the chord progrsion to this song?

[samspade4]

Wow. What happened to them?  Is the woman (can't remember her name) singing with anyone? Her voice will make you melt, especially on Hallelujah.

[omarlicious62]

I saw these guys at Wintergrass a few years back - didn't know they split up ...

[yonderfire]

Reunion? One of the best!

[MitWotan]

its good to hear real American music, instead of vulgar insanity.

[DictionRedaction]

Oh terrific contribution. I saw this group once at Strawberry Music Festival some years ago, on a little side stage. The crowd was small--off watching bigger names I guess--but they made a strong impression on me. Such beautiful music, very well done. Top notch.

[tinsleycloyd]

I was very sorry to hear they broke up also. I first saw them as part of the "Great High Mountain Tour" in Lexington, Ky. I thought they stole the show. Heidi Andrade's clogging was the best I've ever seen. I wish someone would put video of that on. I keep hoping to find out that they have replaced Martha Scanlan and continue as The Reeltime Travelers.

[Robopuppy]

Replace Martha Scanlan? She's the heart and soul of that band, man. Just check out her solo CD...it's magic.

[traildust32]

Excellent, Such a sweet song. Sad to hear they broke up. Mike.

[appalachianangler]

When did they break up? I saw them in Johnson City, TN (where they were formed) a couple years ago, thought they were still around the area.

[lisnorrog]

ive always loved the Reeltime Travelers. i never even thought to search on youtube for them. brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps to me arms. i appreciate the post--they deserve it

[johnhotze]

They were the best of the Y2K generation. Very sad to not have them around anymore. I hear the Freight Hoppers are regrouping so maybe these folks will come back someday. They all were Doctors of the their instruments, writing, clogging, and singing "Old-Time". Thanks johnny for catching them this one time. It might be the only video that exists. When I saw them at Sweet Pea in 04, it was right before I started filming. jkh johnhartford-dod-org.

[bazooki37]

I saw them this spring. Pretty sure they are still around

[bazooki37]

rather this summer

[tinsleycloyd]

I imagine it was without Martha Scanlan. She left and formed her own band.

[bazooki37]

No it was with Martha Scanlan. Don't think I would have remembered the band without her in it

[johnpeery]

This was our wedding song, Martha wasn't able to make it but the guys played....Thanks

[ecotakako]

Thanks for posting! I love the Reeltime Travelers!

[johnny85er]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I will be putting more of this set up soon.
