In 1969, Norman moved to Nashville to do the Johnny Cash Summer TV show. Along with country and western sessions, Norman recorded with Bob Dylan on The Nashville Skyline album. He was a member of Kris Kristofferson's first road group, playing guitar and dobro, and did a seasonal tour with Joan Baez, playing mandolin, guitar, and dobro; Norman recorded with both groups. He left Kristofferson to join and record with John Hartford's Aereoplane Band. After that band dissolved, Norman toured with John Hartford as his accompanist for 1 1/2 years, during which time he recorded his first solo album, Home in Sulphur Springs.

American music doesn't get any better than this. What a fine ensemble!
I love how Blake rocks those low strings in a highly syncopated fashion!
Norman always has a smile for his wife..!
His playing is awesome even when tuning at the beginning.
I need to burn my guitar...
you'll likely be alive long enough to at least be able to play along with norm!! keep the faith!!
I told Doyle Dykes one time I was going to smash mine and he talked me out of it! Norman I one of the most amazing musicians on the planet.
He it a true treasure! And he makes it look so simple!!! But it sure is not!
I swear the guy has 10 fingers!
This is very well recorded. Most of the time, Nancy is not heard. She is here. I appreciate Mr. Bryant's intonation.... I work with a fiddler who isn't nearly as precise.
Norman.... a national treasure.
If the Devil offered me a choice between being granted the ability to play like either Doc, Tony, or Norman at their respective primes, I know what I'd choose.
He never misses a note. It’s unreal.
Doc is hard to beat though!! But I understand picking Norman
@@graysonbyrd7538 Yeah. Doc may have been the Ultimate Flatpicker. I would call Norman the Ultimate Triple Threat - Singing, Songwriting, and Flatpicking. In the US, anyway. Richard Thompson is a wildcard...
Nobody, but nobody plays like Norman. Fantastic!!!!!!!
Norman Blake is the greatest.
Holy smokes this the best thing i have heard since covid 19 invadid our lives please keep up the tradition of music and love and keep safe --we need you
One of their finest performances ever captured.
That moment in the beginning where he’s cross picking while he tunes his E string is the most effortlessly cool thing ever.
Yee fuckin' ha!!! diggin' it hard in Scotland
The moment when you flatpick so hard that the camera image distorts
My favorite flat-picker of all time!
Hugh Yager My flat pickin hero.
These videos are fantastic. Feel like struck gold. Thanks for sharing!
Mind blowing thank you so much for sharing! These tapes are a treasure
One of my fav tunes on a harvest moon
From 2.08 it's the fiddle tune 'Done Gone'. Thanks again for posting this incredible performance!

Nice to discover this.....
Those were the days.
I was born 30 years too late
No, this is your opportunity to pick up the torch of normans music and pass it on for another 100 years! it's your duty ;-)
💟
She's beautiful.
Holy sh**t
Play it again, please. Mule music.
I think I heard a rattlesnake rattle in the soundhole at the end :)

Now THATS flatpickin!
Have heard Dusty Miller do this Norman Blake song.
I think Bob Dylan platform his career from Norman Blake
any idea where this was?
It looks like Telluride in the late 70s to me. They are all so young in this video, especially Nancy.
If you click the "More" button under the description, it says that it was recorded at Telluride.
