Performance footage from the Black Mountain Folk Festvial ca. 1995/1996

Apologies for the handheld shakiness, it was VERY cold that night. AND apologies for the crowd noise.

  • This is the best music footage on you tube I've seen so far. The black and white really clarifies the musicians, and also puts the shadowy figures into a very artful portrait that mirrors the content of the song exactly. I've never commented before on you tube -- this time I had to. Thanks!!

  • Thank you, I appreciate that :) - Kimbafly

  • Beautiful. One of my favorite videos on YouTube. Thank God you were there to capture this and share a sublime moment. These two are such great artists. Love them and love everything about this. Thanks for uploading it.

  • No apoligies necessary. Brilliant shoot.

  • A beautiful song, rendered by a truly gifted duo, full of insight and compassion, cerebrating the underdog in the great American tradition of dear olWoddy Guthrie, and Jonny Cash, rest their souls, the sound quality was poor, but thats not a problem, as I will buy the cd, thanks kimbafly for this video

  • I don't know where she is from, but they really talk like that in many parts of California because they're okies or arkies or children of 'em

  • Beautiful video. I agree that somehow the noise of the crowd and the dark silouettes create the perfect backdrop for this song. Thanks for posting.

  • haha, I thought I was the only one fascinated by her great teeth.

  • You know she's actually from California, and she fakes the accent when she sings. She's still great, though, as is Dave Rawlings

  • Just got into her music recently, love it and her, her accent is great, i suppose you would call it a southern" Drawl " and those teeth, best i ever saw, how much were they?
