[thefunkof30000years]

amazing movie amazing soundtrack

[shenvalley25]

I don't understand why Gods and Generals went belly up...

[theworkhorse1]

@shenvalley25 Because for anyone who loves the history of the American Civil War it was a terrible movie.

[vbgirlification]

the War Between the States...nothing  'Civil' about it.

[Lamzicles]

aaah i really wish this song had the bit when Ruby's dad acctually yells it out! :D

[ajsmen87]

muzyka z tego filmu jest czymś wspaniałym :D miód na moje serce :D

[Rachen30]

Confederate riflemen are the TRUE heroes of America. They can play a beautiful tune on their banjo and fiddle, then get up the next morning and blast an enemy officer off his horse from 1,000 yards away!

[HotBlueLightning]

@Rachen30 not after they have most all bravely and respecfully passed on, about 200 years ago (RIP).

[sammy8139]

[helmuthoorn]

It brings a smile, a joyfull heart and an urge to dance with the one you love.

[jpolacchi]

Well spoken,this is a great fiddle tune.Tugs at my southern roots.

[borealify]

Dirk Powell is fabulous.

[SoBelleofTN]

This is "Fiddle" music at it's best!

[LoveSenseDimension]

Early rock.

[Roxanneactress]

This is why I want to learn how to play the violin

[1TearofEcstacy14]

@Roxanneactress  same here!!!

[sNAiTHnAg]

i love it :)))

[bolabus]

ahhh!BRILLIANT, poor mans music,i can definately hear scotland in it

[crazycuntryboy2]

Well most white southerners trace back to Celtic countries, but make no mistake black southerners helped create southern bluegrass music.

[haywoodfarmer611]

@bolabus it might be poor mans music but you couldnt pay me enough to stop playing it!

[montyjamie]

@haywoodfarmer611  AMEN!!!!

[djmyers71]

I cant wait till the next Civil War movie ever comes out

[Gawaine687]

yeah, me too. supposedly ron maxwell and ted turner were going to do Last Full Measure based off of Jeff Shaara's book to complete the Gods and Generals and Gettysburg Trilogy, but i think with the flop of Gods, they probably wont. i think they should.

[helmuthoorn]

Not only in a civil war movie.

This sort of music would do very well in a remake of ''the Grapes of Wrath'' or a new film about the mine strike at Harlan County Kentucky as well.

[mkbcsa]

I'd love to see a movie on the Harlan County strike.

[SoBelleofTN]

This is pure Mountain Music! It was brought to the mountains just like folklore, from those who came to this country long ago from Scot's and Irish decedents. They brought with them their music and instruments. You will still find this kind of music in the mountains of east Tennessee and western North Carolina. It's Appalachia at its best! Thanks for giving the world today a taste of the past....Beautiful!

[dss9111]

Wish we still had it in Scotland county in eastern N.C. where my folks are.

[sclawman]

Played by Stuart Duncan, the master fiddler

[bumpset08]

this is a great song im so glad you posted it.

[massimogaleano]

wow!!! ;)

[billmacaulay]

im seeing the REAL fiddler tonight

Ill try to get it on fiddle ,mandolin and

guitar

[billmacaulay]

just posted it my friend

bill

[billmacaulay]

here in glasgow we play it coupled

with Paddy on the Beat. great

set on fiddle and mandolin

[Gawaine687]

sounds like fun! don't suppose you could post of vid of that, could you?

[punkrocker1208]

the main riff alternates between measures of 11/8 and 5/8 if that helps at all

[blancolirio]

There ain't no sheet music er notes...ya just play it. Key of D, listen, 1234...go

[fiddler9635]

Does anyone have the sheetmusic for this? i Want it soooooooo bad! PLEASE!

[Gawaine687]

yeah, as it's traditional its less likely to have sheet music. just listen to it and play it by ear. it takes more skill at an instrument to do that, admittedly (i certainly couldn't do that on my viola), but with practice it's managible.

[helmuthoorn]

Do you realize that with uploading all this you are sharing the core of the old musical tradition of your nation with people all over the world ?

The film was good, but the music in it is another category and will remain long after the film is forgotten.

[rmstudio]

very well put... :) Its a piece of our American history. That so many seem to forget or think is silly or "Hillbilly Put down" which it is not. I love it with a sense of pride. : )

[killaB14]

couldn't agree more
