Tommy Emmanuel - Smokey Mountain Lullaby

Tommy Emmanuel Göteborgs Konserthus, Gothenburg, Sweden April 8, 2009 playing Smokey Mountain Lullaby.

This is a great song and the last one Chet Atkins ever recorded (together with Tommy for their album).

Recorded with a handheld compact Canon camera - sorry for the instability. Tommy´s tech guy is snooping around in the back since Tommy had just popped a string on the other guitar and while the string was replaced Tommy switched to a few songs in G6-tuning.

He had just broken a string on the "Mouse" - his normal guitar in standard tuning and was trying to get his tech guy to come out and change it. He couldn´t find him, so the laugh is for the tech guy finally showing up.

Go and see him live....it's the single most magical thing you will ever see in your life.

I just saw him perform this in Montgomery, AL on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 ~ words can't describe seeing him live. It was AMAZING. If anyone ever gets the chance to attend a concert, do it ~ don't let your life go by without experiencing Tommy Emmanuel's genius and artistry in person.

I just saw Tommy last night, and he told the story behind this song...it is the last song Chet Atkins ever recorded. Chet came to Tommy the night before he was being operated on for a brain tumor, and wanted to do this last song for an album they were doing together. He wrote the first part, and Tommy put the other pieces together. They went to the studio that night, and recorded it by themselves in one take! A very touching story, and you could see that Tommy is still very emotional about it...

This man is almost unreal to me, I hope to see him in person someday. He is a God sent I think and I am glad I get to hear him.
