What an album. My cousin made a tape for me of this album back in 1977. I still have it somewhere in a box of stuff. I played it so many times that it's a wonder that the tape did not break. That is some dobro badassery, by the way.
After listening to several other artists singing Ginseng Sullivan, my winner is Tony Rice. I think Phish totally mangled and ruined it. Jerry Douglas is an excellent dobro player. This is a song that still needs that old school bluegrass sound.
I'd never be able to say I prefered Norman or Tony's version over the other. I'm just thankful for both of them existing and doing what they do.
Phish is the obvious answer
@@123danks eh... that's comes 4th out of the 4 I know, so I'd definitely disagree
Tony's is best, hands down
If it weren’t for the words they could be 2 different songs
Tony's
This album = MASTERPIECE. That is all.
It's by Tony Rice, 'nuff said!
Probably my favorite track on this album. That dobro flurry...
Rest In Peace tony rice
Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful, beautiful music, Tony. Safe travels...

Rest easy Tony. You were so young when I started listening to you in the early 80’s. Underestimated talent indeed. We will till listen and thank you.

Yes all tone deaf singers step away from the mic, and take a listen to the perfect version here.
R.I.P.

I like Tony's version better than Norman's. Snappier and has more energy in my opinion.
Man o man
Jerry Garcia bought me here.
thanks for the upload!!!
RIP Tony
I ran a needle through this record.
Phish brought me here....but Tony Rice does it way better!
Me too. But i watched norman blake before this one
On the same way... !
This is the version that the band learned from
Growing up on tony and norman you learn early that phish is trash 😂
Wow
RIP
Great music!!! BUT: It's a long way TO the delta (That's where he wants to go, right?} FROM the north Georgia hills (Where he IS?)
That is correct. That is the way Dad wrote it and what it means.
TUNE!
Tony's version is fine, but Norman Blake's is much more poignant to my ear.
