  • love that high lonedome sound thank you so much

  • It's amazing. It makes me vibrate all over.

  • Thats what you call a high lonesome sound.

  • Devastating beauty.

  • this is such amazing music, I have been looking for something like this for a long time

  • What can you say .....mind blowin' stuff

  • Interesting that someone said "African-sounding." Few people know that the Banjo originated in Africa. It was derived from the Banza, which consists of a gourd with a face of dried antelope hide, a neck, and strings.

  • @GhostNThaMachine Actually the instrument you are referring to are the akontin and/or the ngoni, two closely-related string instruments from West Africa from which the banjo derives. "Banza" was one of the early names of the banjo, but already on the American side of the ocean.

  • If I couldn't see. If I were only able to listen to this music. I would wonder how this African-sounding melody had come into the hands of the rural singer. Music is an unstoppable force! I've been singing this song and am hoping to learn it someday. And then I want a west African singer to improvise over it. What dreams may come! Thanks Roscoe!

  • Always been one of my favorite Roscoe recordings, this song.

  • i love roscoe, but i think its funny that "caribou" commented to someone raised bywolves :)

  • as real as it gets

    this guy did it for the love of music many a long year without any thought of ever being paid for it

    ironic that,if not for the commerce thing,then we would have never known about this incredible genuine artist

    truly a priceless gift from you to our ears

  • true that

  • Roscoe, Doc and Dock all do this song credit ...

  • @checkraisedbywolves thats about every appalachian musician

  • @checkraisedbywolves couldnt agree more man. Truly awe inspiring! or as we say in the north of the uk "gobsmacking" In my opinion dock Boggs version is obviously different but equally wondrous

  • @checkraisedbywolves Hell yeah!

  • what it means to be human... in a nutshell...
