Dan Tyminski : I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow

[DetroitHeating]

WOAH. that timber flute at 2:58. so nice.

[BGarcia02]

Is this from the BBC highland sessions? I recognise the squeezebox, fiddle and flute players.

[jduplechin]

I get a weird vibe from this guy.

[pockets628]

@jduplechin You be weird then !! 

[jduplechin]

@pockets628 Hey dont hollar at me Jimbob. Anyway, I like the song, but he's from Vermont, why is he singing bluegrass? What do people in Vermont have to be sorrowful about anyway? "Oh!...our domestic immigrant minority workers didnt catch the ferry, so we had to fetch our own wine from the cellar." This fellar wasnt born OR raised in old Kentucky. Good recording though...

[zazajojua]

soggy bottom boys!!! :D

@zazajojua

[txcam87]

"Man of Constant Sorrow" is a traditional American folk song first recorded by Dick Burnett, a partially blind fiddler from Kentucky. The song was originally recorded by Burnett as "Farewell Song" printed in a Richard Burnett songbook, c. 1913. An early version was recorded by Emry Arthur in 1928. So before Bob Dylan came Judy Collins in '61 Roscoe Holcomb '61 The Stanley Brothers in '51 and again in '59 Emry Arthur in '28 and Dick Burnett in about '13

[TheToastmlt]

Know waht! you would be the "idiot" for calling someone else an idiot ofr showing their appreciation...we all discover music and artists in our time..whho are to to critize another fan?! SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

[sannox01]

Brilliant :-)

[jjkjnakamura]

everybody:10  but the guy on slide guitar is:11 !!yeah.

[coldsmokin]

@jjkjnakamura

its jerry douglas. and hes the jimmy hendrix of dobro

[pabloelpopstar]

in the movie sounds better because they added a "live" feeling to it. This song is so good performed by them.

[madeintheusa1]

SO. GOOD.

[guyfihi]

I am of Irish heritage, but I should have mentioned the Scottish musicians before, and also that this series is recorded in Scotland. Sorry my Scottish cousins, I didn't mean to slight you. Yeah Curtis, music has mystical powers. My mother died of Alzheimer's a while back and couldn't remember what happened five minutes before, but she could remember all the details of the swing music from her youth fifty years before.

[curtispsf]

Music is the one true international language.

[guyfihi]

Oh man, it warms the cockles of my heart to see these Irish and American musicians plying so well together.

[tubthumper1000]

accordian player is phil cunningham, fiddle player is aly bain, looks like a session from the 'transatlantic sessions' series on bbc scotland.

[VBSouthpaw]

Anyone kno who the steel player is in this? sick solo break!

[barleyjuice1]

@VBSouthpaw Jerry Douglas man!

[sansiv11]

i am the man of sorrow in my town :)

[arkitekt2006]

OMG! there is some noise coming from the camera or camera guy! jesus that riuns this almost perfect video!!!

[jdgrahamo]

@arkitekt2006

Highly unlikely that it's the cameraman -- this is a BBC production. Probably interference that crept in when it was uploaded.

[Muttafuca]

No, I meant VERY cool.

[Muttafuca]

Who is the beast on the accordion? Very Cool?

[CuttyMonsta]

MMM MMM!! Put some Cajun STANK on it.

[denrizza]

He's playin it with a little Cajun touch. Dat I gar-on-tee. =oD

[arkitekt2006]

@denrizza thats what i thougt when i heard the acordion!

[karffiol]

0:55 ...Dan so surprised from great Dobro solo :)

[Dukilein1984]

Oh my god, THE SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS!!!!! I love it

[greenmanTN]

Most "country" music today is just rock bands with a fiddle and a lead singer putting on a twangy voice, singing jingoistic "patriotic" songs, love gone bad, crappy politics, and their old dog Blue. Bluegrass is the real deal, distinctly American music with roots from Irish immigrants.

[mollydoghall1]

I had the pleasure of living just a few miles from dan in franklin county va. he's the real thing. smile and all.

[nickbarcenas]

damn honestly bluegrass music is more musical then people realize nor then it gets credit for. for example have you ever tryed playing the banjo that shit isn't easy to finger pick like those guys nor to play the chelo that shit's difficult and the fiddle put it together you got bluegrass i give them mad respect and i wish i could play all those instruments unfortunantly i can only play a little blues on guitar and the harmonica the harmonica isn't easy either but anybody could learn it..

[BaronVK1]

Is this part of the trans-atlantic series? Looks like Aly Beal, Russ Barenburg, and some of the others....

[apppplle]

like ff



[geokaymojo]

wonderful musical gathering. pure sound. imagine yourself there drinking whiskey in a corner...cant get any better

[gloorbit]

Shoot me now that I'm happy and in pure bliss.

[sleaponit21]

dan sure is good

[mfbigray]

YESIRRR.... THEY ARE.... and Bluegrass IS Honest and Pure.....ck out

The Piedmont Brothers Band new CD !!!

[pegcage]

Dan Tyminski was George Clooney's singing voice.

[ggwhipple]

yes i agree its the most honest and pure music. i think alot of us have lost that honesty and purity due to the modern household.

[sophia9792]

Irish/Scottish session players, Aly Bain fiddle...and Jerry Douglas on dobro.

[DragonRory17]

i remeber watching this recently on international sessions on RTÉ recently

[brelfan]

No point in one more idiot who noticed that Dan Tyminkski is great. But I'll say it anyway. Also, will mention that bluegrass is the most honest and pure American music in the world right now. Maybe we don't listen often because we don't know what to think about all these white guys with high voices.

[btbroeke]

@brelfan no point in one more idiot that notices others discovering Dan Tyminski though... but anyway... your right about bluegrass being one of the most honest and pure American music.

[brelfan]

@brelfan You add yourself to the idiot list.

[paocho3]

@brelfan - all these white guys with high voices?

Get a life!

[hezzess]

Wonderful cover, Really well done.

[SavageSully]

@hezzess Cover...? Aren't these the same folk that as the Movie Soundtrack? I'm 100 & 100% sure...as in they ARE!

[SavageSully]

@SavageSully unless your refer to the og Holcomb.

[dynasty206]

@SavageSully it is a cover, man of constant sorrow is a traditional folk song

[IommiFan70]

@SavageSully the people who did it in the movie is dan, ron block, alison krauss, an d, jerry douglas, only jerry and dan are in this little bit right here. the bass players name escapes me at the moment but i know who he is and hes not in this video.

[LycoValleyRRFan]

@IommiFan70 The bass player was Barry Bales wasn't it?

[Edthebanjo]

@SavageSully The singer, Dan Tyminski and dobro player, Jerry Douglas are. The rest arent.

[jimmymac63]

@SavageSully It is a cover. This song has been recorded a number of times throughout history. A great cover though. Probably my favorite. My least favorite is when Dylan tried to cover it in 1963..It is here on Youtube and it sucks!

[Dukilein1984]

@jimmymac63 You are wrong bro, they are the real soggy bottom boys. It is their song, George only sings playback in the film :)

[jimmymac63]

@Dukilein1984 It isn't there original song lol...Look to the right and you see Roscoe Holcomb sang the song before these gents were born. Look it up on Wiki!

[Dukilein1984]

@jimmymac63 You are right with that but the version of o brother was not clooney. They sang it, that was what i meant. But it is good to know where the original came from. Thanks bro.

[jimmymac63]

@Dukilein1984 Glad to help sir :)



[frack13111311]

@SavageSully Yeah these are the guys from the soundtrack, but its still a cover of an old folk song. No one knows who even wrote it

[appalonia77]

@SavageSully yup...it is...dan did george's singing voice for the film. he's from the group union station. ;)

[rackasaurus]

@SavageSully Pretty sure they all are. I do know for a fact that Danny is, because I am from the same small town that he is from and went to the same school at the same time.

[Nugz718]

@SavageSully Bob Dylan is the original artist

[commradedave]

@Nugz718 it's a folk song and the first recording of it was by Dick Burnett

[coldsmokin]

@Nugz718

wow... epic fail. good job

[SpeedbeetleV2]

@Nugz718 No he definitely isn't. This song was written in the 1890s and first recorded in 1913

[shitfaced1312]

@SavageSully well it is a cover, this song so old.... even bob dylan song it

[CHK046]

@SavageSully even if they are the ones who did the movie soundtrack it's STILL a cover. This is an old song, go listen to Roscoe Holcomb.
