    I'm 72. been playing a long time.. began in the 60s and played all that " British envasion" stuff, moved on the pop, by the 90s was playing blues, and in the last 10 years have been working on old folk blues and that has led me to blue grass,,, and now to my Irish roots.. Love this song.. and just love Rhiannon and her treatment of this piece. Its all music and its all good.. 8 years ago I threw away all picks.. and just use fingers now.. Sometimes I think.. go to the root.. learn that and move on from there.. its has taken 60 years to come to this style of music.. and its the most touching music I have found.. play whats in your heart.. to heck if anyone else likes it.

    Remember, before we split it into "Rock”, “R&B”, “Country”, and whatever other label we put on it, American music came from a blending of cultures. It came from Scotts and Irish folk, it came from African rhythms instruments and chord structure, it came from Latin syncopation and arrangements. I love to hear an artist put it all back together.

    • @danielsouth9212
      @danielsouth9212 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Yes, I know that it is a taditional hymn, covered by many modern artists. I said it was one of the most beautiful songs ever written; the fact that it was written in the 19th century as a hymn (and I aren't religious) merely confirms the fact that it is a wonderful song.

    I am a poor wayfaring stranger
    Traveling through this world alone
    There is no sickness, toil nor danger
    In that fair land to which I go
    I'm goin' home to meet my mother
    I'm goin' home, no more to roam
    I am just goin' over Jordan
    I am just goin' over home
    I know dark clouds will gather round me
    I know my way is rough and steep
    But golden fields lie out before me
    Where river deep will never see
    I'm goin' home to meet my mother
    I'm goin' home, no more to roam
    I am just goin' over Jordan
    I am just goin' over home
    I am just goin’ over home

    Rhiannon Giddens has brought the history of Minstrel and traditional string bands to the forefront by talent and by training. Years of performing with family and bands i.e Carolina Chocolate Drops; nominated and awarded an Emmy. She is also a graduate of North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics; Studies of Vocal Opera Oberlin Conservatory. I wish her decades of performing and continuing the expression of many musical paths.

    When my grandmother was on hospice, i tried the best i could to keep the bad thoughts out of her head, to remind her of her faith, and that she was going to a good place. Our nusic tastes had been different forfor a while, but i found a tape of hers with this song on it. I had recently found your version. Didnt see it as a christian song per se, but it was a gateway for my grandmother and i to communicate through a new frequency, a spiritual one. Your song, your voice will always remind me of her and how i walked her home to be with god.

    Absolutely best version of this song I heard of. The simplicity of the musical accompaniment and the purity of Rhiannon's voice makes it an almost holy experience.

I am referring to the elemental core of all sentient beings. The part of us that feels pain, struggle, and the joy of life. Thank you Rhiannon for your gift you share with all so beautifully!!

    awesome, soulful, beautiful, pure and moving voice. love music, can't think of many vocalists who could match Rhiannon, this song,this setting. Shared Joan Baez "diamonds and rust" with wife Carol many years ago, now one of our personal classics among many we love. Shared this with her recently, shortly after her mom passed, it has now joined that group of songs that we treasure. Also proud to call Rhiannon a homegirl from NC. Love You Carol, if ya read this!!

    Her voice has an incredible commun point with that of Joan Baez (may she rest in peace), and her folk music also. Very beautiful voice.
    I'll follow the evolution of its repertoire (time is always running, but mostly not too fast if you please).
    I was born lulled by the voice of Joan, she left us for other horizons, but she will always be in my heart
