Hard Times Come Again No More

- Hard Times Come Again No More was published in 1854. It was composed by Stephen Foster perhaps only a year or two prior to its publication. The song predates the American Civil war by several years, but it became more widely known during the war. Over time it became an emotional anthem for Americans-especially those who study the Civil War and the post war reconstruction era. This song has been a favorite for Mark for many years. When the time came to arrange and record it, he felt that James Mangan had the perfect voice for such a beautiful melody. The video was filmed in the Wasatch mountain range in North Central Utah.
The peace in that song sang by you is mighty and deserves respect. Furthermore you can see how they liked that song and how they felt in to there soul. How they moved how they played and sang is calming and deep. Thank you for that video.
Thank you so much!
This is just lovely. I am a living historian for stories and the music of the Civil War and I play this often, as well as the parody the soldiers sang; "Hard Tack..." I do think this is my favorite cover for this - vocals and instruments. TY!
Thanks so much!!! We loved doing this arrangement so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Everything about this is so beautifully performed. The fiddle, the octave mandolin, the guitar and the voice. A tip of the hat to the videographer and lets not forget Mother Nature. About 50 years ago I saw the Stephen Foster show in Bardstown KY. I think he would be so happy to hear this rendition and that 170 years later his songs are still performed and loved.
Thank you!!!
lovely, loved ❤
I’m so happy to have found this performance this morning. Beautiful.
Thanks!
Just played again as I love this performance...I play & sing on guitar however there are at least four verses & most singers I hear only sing two or maybe three versus....pity as the words are so meaningful.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Thank you!
Beautiful great version
Thank you!
Ohhh, it makes me cry...!😭😭😭Beautiful. Love&Peace.💚
Such a soulful song... I also have always loved this song...
Love this song.I know people are having
hard times at the moment we have lots of Foodbanks find that very sad.
he played a phenomenal waltz....something that not every fiddler can do...one of the best ever to play the instrument.
This is simply brilliant. So full of harmony. This combination of the musicians is making this fantastic song very unique.
Thanks so much!
I had a tear in both eyes, and I know not why. Something about it being one of Stephen Foster’s lesser known songs, certainly outside America, and even in this affluent age, it has something to say to mankind.
Beautiful version of this song.
Thank you Kathleen!
Soldiers in the Civil War made a creative re-write of the lyrics: "hardtack come again no more."
Love it! Love It! Little John duo is inspirational!
Thank you!
Thanks for doing the last verse. Folks tend to leave it out. Very lovely rendition. Foster never got the financial recognition he deserved despite his music being sung and loved by everyone.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Your voice is amazingly crisp. I can hear every word distinctly. Beautiful !
Thank you! James is so smooth!
Fantastic rendition
Thank you!!!
I love his voice.
Yes! His voice is great and he was so fun to work with!
You can feel the sorrow, from the Civil war period. You can feel the pathos. So beautiful. More sorrowful songs come that period, as we can surely understand.
How beautiful!! ....bless you all!
❤👍👌
Thanks!
This is a wonderful version of this wonderful song.
One of the best. Amazing perfection !
Thank you!
Great Song and thanks for the more verses.
Beautiful. What a sweet, pure voice. And what a stunning landscape. I hadn't heard this song before; thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yep, best version of this song on TH-cam I've heard and I've listened to quite a few.
Thanks so much!!
Best version imho will always remain that one Bobby did for Willie, which eventually led me to this indeed very beautiful rendition…Thanks!
Just lovely.
This is definitely one of my new favorite folk songs, well done
Thanks for listening!!
Beautifully presented. The fiddle and the voice stand together but 2 different talents. They accompany but do not compete.
Thank you! It was so fun to arrange
Very pleasant sound!
Thank you!
I have heard this old tune many times in my life and this is the most beautiful version that I have ever heard. I am very happy to have found your video.
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!
So, so beautiful!!
Thank you!
Wonderful arrangement.
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful song, voice, as well as the rest of the band playing good music. Keep it up!
Thank you SO much!
This is def one of the best versions of this song I've heard and that voice of James Mangan ......
Thank you! James nails it for sure!
very beautiful song, love it, thank you
Thank you!
One of my favorite songs and one of my favorite versions.
Thanks!
I have known, loved and performed this Stephen Fosrer classic. This is Hans down the best rendition I have heard. Thanks for recording it.
Love me Stephen Foster and this is a beautiful rendition!
Thanks so much!
An unusual rendering of this classic, that said, it really works . . . well. I loved it. Thank you.
Thanks!
absolutely beautiful
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing.... such a beautiful song & well presented... cheers from Australia 😀
Thank you!
If there was one thing the Irish came over the pond for it was their love of the land❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 beautiful country beautiful music 😊😊
This song always reminds me of the Famine - an event which would have had an effect on Stephen Foster with his Irish roots - I wonder if this song was influenced by the Famine?
Thanks!
Love this! James has a beautiful, easy to listen to voice. I thought I was hearing a banjo for a minute, but it’s a long neck mando?? Loved the harmonies. I have loved this song forever; y’all did it justice and beyond!
Mandocello.
The instrument in the video is an octave mandolin. There’s also a banjo in the recording too. It’s like a spice added to the recipe.
Does somebody know, where the video was created? Wicklow Mountains (Ireland)?
Greetings grom Germany
Oh, North Utah 🤔.
Un bouzouki irlandais
@@instituteofamericanmusic694 interesting. I thought it was a cittern at first but it only has eight strings, and a cittern has ten.
Beautiful voice, beautiful arrangement !
Thank you!
A lovely, delicate and moving performance. Brings me to tears and joy at the same time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
👏 👏 👏 I really like this!
Thank you!
Beautiful- this song came to me at the very moment I needed it - thank you ❤️
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Absolute perfection! Thank you so much for sharing ! The integration of each party's contribution is truly more than the sum of the parts, including the invasive Canadian thistle with its Scot's reference in the "wild and precious setting"❣️ I will be following each and all of you❤
Thanks!!
Nice work y'all!
Thank you!
Cada vez mejor!! ❤
Muchas gracias amigo!
I believe this song/melody comes out of the Civil War times; one can understand why! I read or learned that more soulful, sad songs came from that period than any other time.
So lovely. Thank yoy.
Thank you Deb!

I'd love to know where you video'd this performance. No doubt carefully chosen, very beautiful.
Wasatch mountains in Utah. Very beautiful place!
Play-List Timber!
❤
So glad I found this? Truly beautiful! James, are you married?
Nice treatment. A song from the 1850s for 2022. Sadly no version does all the verses. Too bad.
Thank you! Some songs do have a lot of verses. Many arrangers like us want to create a great arrangement without going too long or too short. In order to keep the arrangement just right, verses sometimes have to be cut--unfortunately.
Most beautiful
Thank you

👍👍👍👍
What brand is the octave mandolin played on this song? Beautiful sound.
It's a Weber. Thank you. We love it!
S🎻weet
Thanks!!
Beautiful. I would love to hear more James Mangan but can't find him anywhere. Any ideas?
He doesn't have much of a presence online...hopefully we can include him on more!
@@littlejohnduo3543 Please do. I'll makke sure I follow more closely. I love your music.
I think of the American Civil War when I hear this. Is that its origin? Anyone know?
A beautiful voice but little heart and soul feeling leaves this song without the depth it should have.
Who cares what you think?
@@bruceb5481 Lol! Sorry Bruce. just my opinion from what I heard.
Where can I hear more of James Mangan?
I wish I could say that there's more of James out there, but this is one of his very rare recordings.
Very nice cover. Obviously recorded in a studio.
Thanks! yes, we recorded the audio beforehand so it would have good sound quality outdoors.
I'd only known this from Bob Dylan...
This beats Taylor Swift ANY DAY!
Thanks!!!
Nice vocals, but not the best arrangement overall. Check out the 2nd South Carolina String Band. Perhaps the most authentic to Foster's era.
This is a stunningly beautiful sung song with the gentlest played guitar and fiddle, I have only one small complaint, The skirt does not suite that man
i think it suits him just fine.
There should be a law against such a great song as this being turned into such a saccharine monstrosity. Ugh.
and how do you think it should be done? to each his own.
Beautiful
Thank you
