David Rawlings guitar playing is sublime. Topped off with his softly voiced harmony, it all fits like a hand in a velvet glove with the lead vocals if Gillian Walsh. Ace!

This video was recorded a while ago. But I only just viewed it. The song was recorded by Mississippi John Hurt in 1928. If you listen to the original, as the song progresses, we learn a little more about what's going on, By the end you realize that it's about two lovers involved in an illicit affair trying to arrange a clandestine tryst. Though well executed, what we have here is a Whitewashed Pat Boone version.

There's this tiny moment around 2:05 or 2:06 where he gets the idea for where he's going -- how he's going to end the phrase -- just before he executes it, and he gets this tiny smile. Such a nice little moment for guitar players (and non-guitar players).

Instant goosebumps. From the profound feeling Gillian finds deep within herself and shares with us. This is a song no one performs who does not love it. Love it so much that they have to put it out there. It's a BIG SONG, a work of natural genius from Mississippi John Hurt. A miracle, if the truth be told. And this is a fantastic version from Gillian and David. Praise the Lord and Amen.

Obviously many of y'all have never heard of Southern Appalachian Bluegrass, which is what this is. Mississippi John Hurt is Delta Blues, and many others sing the song based on the region they're from. This version is based on the area they're from. Maybe if you knew a little bit about musical styles via geographic area you'd know this.

Nope, it's a traditional tune used in many songs. For example W.C. Handy used it as a chorus in Atlanta Blues somewhere around 1916. The first one to record the song in this form is Mississippi John Hurt in 1928. Bob McKinney is a mix of many songs from the early 20th century.
