I can remember this great series being broadcast in Australia some years ago, great program unfortunately it was given another season here.
Some of the performers weren't known in Australia but I subsequently became a fan of many and of course Jean Ritchie was one of those...I've long been a fan of Emmylou Harris, thanks for posting this..
I just learned Jean's had a stroke recently and I'm praying for her and George. I sent her a tune once and her reply was so kind and gracious and humble... I just love her so...
When I was a young man, I used to have a record (yes...a record)...of this song, and it always made me weep. Thank you for having this posted for me to find....Tom
Jean Ritchie is from my hometown, Viper, Kentucky. She has always been so pure with her voice singing that high lonesome sound. She's an awesome person to talk to as well. I'm so happy that someone from my hometown made it to being famous!
I like how Jean Ritche can go from the old fashioned style in the days before a lot of instruments were avalible and then sing with several instruments too
BEAUTIFUL!!

Anytime I see that Emmylou is harmonizing with a great singer, I have to listen.

I have always been an Emmylou fan. I hope she realized she was in the presence of the true Queen of Mountain Music. Thanks for posting this.

Great performance. We are lucky to still have this lady among us. Jean Ritchie is a national treasure the likes of which we'll never see again.
