I can not listen to this enough. I just wrote done the words. I'm singing this in my bluegrass class and there's too many versions, so I decided to use this as the definitive. It really doesn't get better than this.

Have you heard the Comer Moon Mullins version. If not, check it out. He added two more fingers to the picking style.....Awesome. Keith Payne

I just checked all 94 comments, and nobody has pointed out that the "announcer" is Tex Ritter.

@ffairlane57 Have you seen the videos of Merle and Joe playing two guitars, with their arms going every which way, with one hand on the fret board of one guitar and the other hand on the other guitar? Merle was the greatest, but Joe was far from being a hack, as you call him. I watched both of them every week, on the Town Hall Party (from Compton), in the 50s.

Merle played and sang with such an easy grace. The word "genius" is thrown around a lot, but this man truly fit the bill. What a fine musician!

I LOVE THIS!!! It must have been recorded in early 1950 or the late 40s because his Martin acoustic doesn't have the modifications made by Paul Bigsby (new Bigsby neck and Merle Travis custom pickguard). Gotta love the horns in there too!

Well, it was recorder 1956 or 1957. That guitar is not THAT D-28.
