this was a tuff one, in the best possible way. last i heard this, was my Mom singing it 35-40 years ago. she was from the hills of VA (Grundy). she passed 8 months ago, followed 4 months later by my Dad (broken heart). tears started flowin' bout 1 min in when in heard that famous opening, still am ballin' like a baby... thx for sharing this old folk song... i TRULY thought it was lost in time.

Dude this was an amazing cover .... And I know what you mean when you said old timee songs being sang by every body it's hard to pinpoint who sang the original. But when I think of this song I think of Tex Ritter he's my favorite version of the song and I could easily say now that this is my second favorite homeboy

My uncle used to sing the same song (though he called it jack of diamonds), but in a significantly different way, and with different verses. This is a good version as well though, and that's defintely part of what I love about folk music. I appreciate the fretless banjo as well, not an instrument I see very often

Jake’s tuned to Double C (relative) for this song. The exact notes from 5th to 1st are: C# - F# - C# - F# - G# However, before you go lowering your banjo straight to that tuning, understand it is substantially lower than most banjos are traditionally set up for. He’s playing a beautiful fretless “grain measure” banjo that is correctly set up for this. Hopefully that helps some folks that were curious; I encourage people to try down-tuning their banjo a few steps, as it can be hard for some to sing and play at the standard “G” register. Beautifully filmed, beautifully played. Thanks!

I know this is an old comment, but their is a version of it on his album Dreary Black Hills. It’s track three, titled ‘Jack o’ Diamonds.’ Like he says in the first part of this video, old time sensibilities... same song with different lyrics. I believe that album is available on his bandcamp as well as iTunes.

double C, Matt. just tuned down. (gCGCD or 7525, relatively). dead give away is that one finger on the second fret (or where the 2nd fret would be if his banjo were fretted) of the first string (also why this tuning is called one-finger C, though in this case, the whole banjo is tuned down so it's actually one finger B or wherever it is. i would guess it's tuned down so Matt can sing high over the banjo (plus this banjo sounds quite nice tuned down). rye whiskey is usually, to my knowledge played out of G (and standard G tuning on the banjo), but to my ears sounds so much nicer in one-finger C if we're talking banjo..

@@WrenchWhacker I respectfully disagree. History isn't just the series of events that happened in the past, but rather the construction of narratives based about past events and I don't think there's a significant push to erase the historical and chronological record. When creating narratives from historical records, different groups pick and choose which events and interpretations fit their worldview, ideology, etc. However, I also think that this has happened since people started studying history. You can only view history through your current lens and the study of history is a human endeavor, so naturally it's subject our biases. I can understand why it seems like history is being erased, but in my eyes, it's just the nature of historical study. Things change. Imagine if engineers were satisfied with the first few iterations of airplanes, we'd still be flying on propeller driven biplanes. Edit: if you're into historic and traditional American music, you couldn't be in a better time than now. Think about guys like Clifton Hicks putting out excellent educational and artistic material.
