Does anyone know what tuning he’s playing in can’t tell if is Standard or not

Cringe

This is the song you hear once when you are little and spend the rest of your life wondering what it was called.

Can you do a ballad from Massachusetts next?

Sorley, you are a great Scotsman. I am hoping to spread more and more folkish knowledge to my Gaelic brethren over here in America - you are a major inspiration.

So So Special🙏❤

Hey man I’m a claw hammer banjo player from the USA. Just wanted to say you’re killing it. It’s great to see a Scottish person embracing there traditional folk music and using a 5 string banjo to channel it. All the best!

Erin go Bragh = Ireland Forever.

Singing this for my younger brother who took his life with the rifle that i helped him build.😔

It matters not; I have been told, where the body lays when the heart goes cold. Thanks for this song man it was running through my head the entire time through losing my grandad who was basically my father. Thank you

Incredible voice and a beautiful rendition of a great song

Heard this in an old school cartoon, can't remember exactly but this my shit

beautiful

Didn't know Scott's like the banjo. . .

Amazing Song Amazing Singer. Keep it up. God Bless You Sam Shackleton. Greetings from an austrian Soldier.

Hey Sam, any tips on how you developed your speed and precision when playing Clawhammer? I know practice is the main key, but any books or resources that helped you? Cheers and take care

i am american and i cannot understand a word.

What's cool is I can hear this being how some of the first generation immigrants would have sounded embracing their adventures west as new Americans

Wow! That’s rad!

You are awesome man! What a killer voice!! Keep up your hard work man! I’m a fan!!!

Anyone got tabs for this?

Little late to the party, but come to Phoenix in Arizona!

Laugh at loud funny. The Scots are the best as my Glaswegian granny send, on occasion 🤓

Good show

Lyrics are great but translation would be helpful too

As a Orange man from Northern Ireland, loyal to the protestant faith and all the revolution delivered us. I'd buy that man a pint, fair play, I respect true Jacobites if he is as such. 🍻

Absolutely love this song. Randomly came across it on spotify.

Jesse Stewarts version of this in the delousing session is absolutely fookin awesome btw everyone should check that out. He said the line "if the whiskey can't kill me at least the heroin will!" and died from an OD around 7 years later!! He left a comment under the video that read "OH BTW I DONT ACTUALLY DO HEROIN!" and that comment aged like fuckin milk lmaooo

hello sam, listening you on spotify...really like your music,,, greetings from germany

I've been listening to a bunch of your songs, really great stuff, keep it up! Really nice background setting to perform these songs to as well.

Love the song and want to learn it, where could I find the sheet/tabs for this song?

What tuning do you usually have your banjo in, I’ve never heard anyone else that sounded like you do on that thing

Great playing and singing man there’s something about these old tunes that makes one feel a certain way. Bravo.

Just learned this on guitar. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wow, it's clear that you got your showmanship and love of music from your father. RIP, and may his memory be a blessing. Your music is bringing a lot of joy to me here in the US. I'll have to pull out my banjo and play along with you two.

I love that such a simple story can carry such a complex feeling when you set it to music. It’s a shame that young man wasn’t buried at his home, but it’s almost like the prairie is his home now. It’s a world that’s harsh and difficult to make a life in, but one that’s full of love and companionship nonetheless.

Great performance of my favorite song. My condolences , of such I lost my own as well on my 31st birthday 1994 .I enjoy the poem in dialect and translated. By far my favorite culture is of The Appalachian regions where my great great grandfather first settled in 1860

Awesome, ,,,brilliant performance

You should do a midwest tour eventually, people would go ballistic

By far the best version of the song i have ever heard

Im a lad from Anglo-Scottish border, living and working in Texas. Are you ever coming down this way?

So beautiful,,,,

Criminally underappreciated. Simply outstanding.

👏👏👏

Absolutely beautiful dude. A fitting tribute. Much luv. Xxx

Great to see the joy on your face! Would you consider doing a learning video on this? I would love to have the drive and energy you're getting!

The auld man taught u well

❤

It'll be 10 years this November since I've lost my dad. Thanks for sharing this I really enjoyed listening to you guys making music together. I really love a Scot playing American bluegrass. My dad loved bluegrass his father was into bluegrass too. He played the guitar, banjo, and fiddle.
