Co- written by Peter Rowan when he was a young bluegrass boy. Pete loved Bill. Bill taught him to be himself and let his potential blossom. The rewards are apparent and astounding. Pete has become a legend because of his association with Mr. Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys.
What an incredible tribute song to the late Bill Monroe who penned this song, especially given Scaggs was a young musician in the band (as was Peter Rowan). Skaggs nails it
The way the two men figured out how to wed tenor and bass is beyond thrilling. I've always felt this song should be played almost in bluegrass style with plenty of 'driving' in it like they did here. No fancy orchestrsa, no sacharin sugar coating just someone trying to get back home! Shivers of delight.
Hi from South Africa. I have been listening to Bluegrass for a number of years. Ricky was my first real hero bluegrass musician. His music is sublime. so soothing yet exciting. Thanks for sharing
Wayne McCuen Completely agree. Roberts version is simply perfection. The timing and musicianship is brilliant. His album got me into new music genres like bluegrass. Found the happy prisoner bluegrass sessions by accident on an air Canada flight. Was bored, scrolled through music, couldn't find anything good. I clicked on folk, and the top suggestion was his album. The moment the first beat of hot corn cold corn played, there was just something magical and captivating about it. As a teenager from the uk, it really was by chance I came across this sort of music!
Thx for the Robert Earl King referral, y’all, great album. Two things I love: in Texas, a little Bob Wills flavor always finds its way into the bluegrass and that’s a very tasty combo. 2. Stone bluegrass bands are too dang obsessed with SPEED. I love the tempo and strong rhythmic feel of Hot Corn Cold Corn. I’m a fan of King’s. I still prefer Ricky’s Walls of Time but Keen’s Hot Corn Cold Corn is about as perfect as it gets.
Nice to hear Air Canada actually brought joy into someone's life! They usually tend to piss off most people, me included. Your luggage must have arrived then too.
Thanks, man! I’m almost sure he’s the guy. I studied his face for a minute. I’m good at recognizing voices but he’s singing in a lower register on Kentucky Waltz and it’s hard to tell. One of the commenters said they’d seen him sing the same song before with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. So it’s pretty much got to be Paul Bryant. Nice song too, btw. I didn’t know it. I was thinking it was going to be TN Waltz or Blue Moon of KY right up until he started singing 🤦🏼♀️
I love the affect the guitarist was trying to pull out at 2:27 but it sounds unrehearsed and seemed to take Ricky by surprise on the down beat. It seems anyway. It's going to happen sooner or later in the best of bands.
@@alan4sure not to be THAT guy, but I hear a change to the V chord at the end of each verse. The Rice/Rowan version, the one I’m most familiar with, follows exactly as you describe it.
@@barrymac1951 actually at the end of the second line, both verse and chorus, after the V chord (E) it briefly goes to the VII chord. The A, in this case. Then back to B.
❤️Love That Blu Grass & blue's country greats 24)
Awesome B. G More 24) great
It don't get no better than this yall!!❤️

Best of the best! One of the smoothest fiddle breaks I’ve ever heard.

Fiddle solo was smooth as butter with that awesome "bossanova" style beat they put in this live version
Thank you Ricky for letting us experience your talents given from on high for us who gets low in the most stressful of times !

His vocal on this is possibly my favorite.
we have forgotten oh RickyScaggs, one of the best bluegrass singers i ever listen to
We've seen him before and after his bluegrass awakening------
I haven't and neither have you. Let's listen and enjoy, wishing you health and happiness.
@@thomasfoss9963 There was no before. He was always a picker. He just went country to make a few million, then went back to his first love
Ricky Skaggs and the Kentucky thunder, will never be forgotten!
Spelled Skaggs, Teresa. Pick away! 1/29/2023
Best version I’ve heard and I’ve pretty much heard them all.
I dare anyone to dis this - it resonates to the core of your soul
The best in Bluegrass!
Excellent version
COME ON RICKY SING IT!!!!!!!! GUY!!!!!! LOVE ALL OF YOUR SONGS/MUSIC
Genius lives forever
Hi from South Africa. I have been listening to Bluegrass for a number of years. Ricky was my first real hero bluegrass musician. His music is sublime. so soothing yet exciting. Thanks for sharing
First introduced to this song by Emmylou Harris. Love this song!
6 feet, 6 inches, 6 figures...Earthly pleasures I have not found.
Brewsters harmony moans like a fiddle...classic.....
Thigh I disagree with almost everything he says off the stage, he is truly one of the best ever.
He is indeed an idiot
Best version and the most melodic, but that's only my opinion.
+Richard Stoker this IS good! Try Robert Earl Keen's version, on Happy Prisoner:The Bluegrass Sessions. I LOVE the mandolin break, awesome!

I think Emmylou's is better, IMHO. More beat.

Morag MacGregor it’s 100% Paul Brewster, he’s amazing at what he does, and he’s been singing with Ricky for over 20 years now
Mindset
Ricky is in the top 1% of talent in my book. Makes sense that he would hire and stick with top talent. Or marry into their family 🤠
Superb!
How many Martin's can you cram onto the stage of a Gibson sponsored event?

I bet nothing catches these guys off guard
thanks. been trying to learn this.
did you see Mr. Vincent playing rythmn guitar?
And some sweet dobro :)
WHO is singing the high harmony? He could be as good as Ricky. Definitely in his high class.
Paul Brewster I think
Thx, I don’t know him but I’m gonna look for him now.
Check out this one of him th-cam.com/video/7V70jtahBIM/w-d-xo.html singing Kentucky Waltz
Paul Brewster for sure, excellent.
@@Pete-z6e Thanks 🌻
Rob Ickes on Dobro! Only one wearing jeans... ha.
And it's not a reso either. Wonder what kind of an old beat up guitar that is.
Not a dobro.....
Even better than Bill Monroe's original version.
play that song - you are getting there...
Does anyone know where to get this full concert?
Was that Rob Ickes playing Hawaiian guitar?
Luke Bulla on fiddle?!
So there isnt a single tutorial for this song on youtube. Come on my dudes, someone come through for this beginner!!!
It's only 2 chords. The 1 and 4 chord, and the 4 chord is played as a 7th sometimes. So starts in G, the change goes to C , then C7 then back to G.
