Amazing Grace- Tim Eriksen

http://timeriksenmusic.com/

Tim Eriksen sings "Amazing Grace" Western Mass. style- for Wendy and Avery M. by request.

The tune, "Fiducia," is the one most often used for this hymn in the old New England tunebooks ("American Vocalist," "The Revivalist" and scores of others).

Tim, my appalachian folk band would love to cover this and possibly record a demo of it sometime this year, if that's okay with you of course!

[batfancy]

@abbymaeandthehomesch Of course! I'll look forward to hearing it...

[johnnyhorton2]

[batfancy]

@johnnyhorton2 Not yet, but I plan to record it one of these days!

Fantastic mountain sound!! Love your songs so much!!!

[batfancy]

our mountains are more like hills, under 1,000 feet, but they still look alright.

[MyTNGirl]

where is this filmed? Good song, are you a Christian?

[pappyfiddle]

I THOUGHT you would run out of air sooner or later. That throat singing is pretty radical. How 'bout circular breathing, now that would be a combination...

[teaandcakeordeath]

Wow. Before I even saw the title I thought to myself, hmmph - that looks like the Pioneer Valley (in Western Mass). Great rendition, great area of the world.

Best rendition of Amazing Grace that I've ever heard. Tim Eriksen has great talent!!

[capebeale]

I love this version. I'm away from home at the moment but will see if I can adapt it to accordion when I get home. Tim, the world needs more like you spreading the word of love through your music...

Wonderful performance by the one man vocal bagpipe. He also manages a bit of Mongolian throat singing here.

Massachusetts looks beautiful

[hwarangkid]

Simply beautiful! thank you! By the way, i think it's great that when i look up the musician, who made me fall in love with a movie, just by performing some great songs in it, is here on youtube making jokes about his hills to his fans :) i'm sorry, just like it very much!

And you worked on songs together with jack white? that's just amazingly cool!

Sung from the heart. I really like this version of "Amazing Grace". I've never seen quite that much green in a community. Thank you
