Wow. This is probably the most beautiful blue grass song I’ve ever heard. The singing is just out of this world and the musicianship is perfect. Well done. 10/10.
I heard this song on Bluegrass Junction in my truck..... TURNED IT UP! My goodness what clarity of vocals and an exceptional tenor lead.... one of the few with such clarity and you can feel this song all the way thru your heart. I am NOW an Authentic Unlimited Fan because of this song. Every vocal, instrument, and timing is absolutely perfect and the song is beautiful depicting the soul and genre of Bluegrass Music today. Hat's off to these guys for putting together this masterpiece of a song. PS - And Jerry Douglas put his magic of subtle notes in there to top it off.
Hey brother, I knew that sounded like Jerry, but where was he? I never saw the dobro! I just stumbled onto this band, but a long time Jerry Douglas fan. Thanks for saying what I wanted to say, but you said it better! Such purity. But where is J. D.? Glory to God! ☝️✌️
Jerry Douglas is not a member of Authentic Unlimited. He played on the song for them and although this video seem's to be a live performance the sound is actually not from the live performance.
@@danielbrott406 I hear ya, man. I thought of that but it sure looks like they're playing it. Lol...I'll watch again. I didn't think they would just patch in his part, which they could do, it's their recording. Very interesting thought. Anyway, thanks, I love Jerry & know he's not in the band. But he gets around! Lord bless. ☝️
I knew this young man since he was about 10 years old and hadn’t touched an instrument. My goodness, John!! You have developed an incredible voice and mastery of your instrument. Congratulations on becoming such an amazing artist! Bryan
Such beautiful lead vocals and solid harmonies along with exceptional musicianship. Now that’s some solid bluegrass right there! Outstanding performance! 🎶👏
John has a spectacular voice. I heard him singing "Jonas" on Bluegrass Junction the other day and was truly impressed. Great band with tight harmonies and outstanding musicians.
OMG, when he hits that high note I get chills everytime. What a voice, and hell of a band. I just bought this and other songs yesterday by this band. I've played this song a dozen times in 2 days.
I'm sitting here playing this over and over. It's amazing how good it is. This group played at my yearly homecoming back in September, I'd never heard them before. Every member is talented above measure. I'd had John Meador on my Facebook forever but never knew who he was. His vocals are absolutely angelic..I did get to meet them after the show. I'd played with JD Crowe for 4 years and went on to play with Keith Whitley for 8 years..I'd not listened to much bluegrass in the past 30 years but after this concert, I may be back on track.
Wow John! You have been very blessed with a beautiful talent and a great family! How many would quit their jobs and move to Hyden, Kentucky so the whole family could attend the Kentucky Bluegrass and Traditional music school? That’s deep love and support, and boy did it pay off. I hope you win a Grammy!
If there is a perfect song, this is it. There will be a lot of tears shed over this one. It is effortless, gentle and easy. It immediately brings you to sweet memories or a memory yet to be.
Congratulations!! To Authentic Unlimited!! 2023 Nashville IBMA Vocal Group & New Artist Of Year! IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards! Phenomenal job at the Bloomin Bluegrass Festival Farmers Branch 🚜 Tx Also !
This is an outstanding performance by the whole band with such beautiful harmony. I love this song and I can't stop listening to it. John's voice is awesome. I also love the songs , Hannah and Jonas . Thank you one and all!!
I live just a few miles from Eli and I have seen these guys twice at an annual fundraiser for a small rural community school. Not mention Jerry, Eli and Stephen with Quicksilver. These guys are as nice as they are talented, and we are lucky to have someone as talented and humble as Eli in our community. Hope you can make it again next year. I will be there lord willing.
Heartfelt... tenderness, regret but no animosity. Perfect expression of a relationship that doesn't work out. Only the good lord knows!!! Thank you for this healing
I cried the first time I heard this, the time that went into the lyrics and musical arrangement is at a level I haven’t heard in years. The Bluegrass World has been wide open and fast with great music and talent, but this, this has been missing. And it brought tears of joy to hear this brought back to the proper place.
Authentic Unlimited has the best vocals in Bluegrass. They're fantastic musicians also. I keep listening to this song and never get tired of it. Love his voice!
Absolutely tremendous mandolin player. Harmonies make me love everybody. Just a rush of sparkling talent. I thoroughly enjoyed "Tall weeds and rust." Marvelous harmonies. Dennis Brayshaw Tampa, Florida.
This group has the potential to be one of the greatest ever. Awesome vocals not to mention solid instrumentals. Accomplished musicians and spot on vocals.
@@swampshepherd Not Ireland. America comes from Ulster. That's our people. Mostly English, but the people of Ulster come in very close, EXTREMELY influential in American culture and life, anyone with actual American roots who say they have Irish ancestors likely have zero Irish ancestors and are actual Ulster Scot, uslter is IN Ireland, but they aren't of the Irish people, they are Scots. Another word for the Ulster Scots is "Scot -irish". But I hate that term because it confuses people. Our history has been systematically obfuscated.
Jerry, Jesse and the boys are absolutely amazing. Tremendous vocals and instrumentals! They will be at Bluegrass First Class in Asheville in Feb 2024. I have been to this festival for many years and it is one of if not the best festivals anywhere. It is inside the Crown Plaza hotel there. For those who do not know, Jerry, Eli and Stephen were in the Last Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver band when Doyle retired. Jesse and John joined and the results you can hear!!!
I’m in similar awe listening to this as the first time I heard the Steeldrivers on Pandora before Stapleton blasted off. This song and this ensemble has no choice but to transcend in a similar way. Excited for bluegrass and for AU.
My wife and I saw the same show,if ever there was a perfect band, these guys are IT! I didn't know a band could play live at their level of perfection. Love to see them next year, same place.
This is the some of the best bluegrass I’ve ever heard in my life you guys are doing an absolutely amazing job keep going no matter what you are the best !
Wow, TH-cam algorithm worked great today. I absolutely love everything about this. The instrumental, the singing, and most importantly the song. Chalk me up as a new fan for sure!
The Meador family is loaded with talent. Check out John's brother Jesse in Kentucky Just Us. Jesse won the national banjo picking contest in Kansas year before last. He is a songwriter/vocalist/banjo picker.

Not sure why this song isn't being played everywhere. Just amazing. My fav song.
They play it on Bluegrass Jct. alot.
I knew this young man since he was about 10 years old and hadn’t touched an instrument. My goodness, John!! You have developed an incredible voice and mastery of your instrument. Congratulations on becoming such an amazing artist! Bryan

Smooth and tastefully done. Nice touches on your tele. Thanks for sharing.
Where have you all been my whole life? Phenomenal!
I believe some of these guys played with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. They are at another level re: their talent.
Been a while since I’ve heard a song that gave me chills. This one got me.
These guys are nothing short of GREAT!!!!
Everything about this song is as perfect as it can get.

This is Bluegrass song of the year in my heart!!!
Oh My Goodness! This is the best Bluegrass Song I have ever heard! So very beautiful, singing, music. Just gorgeous.

It doesn't get any better than this . Man they are great
This is the music of our people. Long live this native and fine people, carrying on the true legacy of anglo America!
Nothing but pure talent here. Love this group of amazing gentlemen.
Wow! Talk about being taken back in time! Oh boy, i hear some Keith whitly, Ralph Stanley, Tony Rice, and Ricky Skaggs. Very well done! Keep it up.
If there is a perfect song, this is it. There will be a lot of tears shed over this one. It is effortless, gentle and easy. It immediately brings you to sweet memories or a memory yet to be.

LOve this song
People…this is so real ..MUSIC…wow these guys are so accurate
Congrats guys on your IBMA 2024 wins, especially for video of the year and song of the year for Fall in Tennessee!
This is the some of the best bluegrass I’ve ever heard in my life you guys are doing an absolutely amazing job keep going no matter what you are the best !
Beautifully done!
My understanding of this is God called her home. Beautiful song and performance.
I agree, "reason why she had to go, only the good Lord knows" gives it away.
And her name may have been Autumn Ann-Marie
This should be at the top of the charts! Thus I am proven right that degeneracy is the scourge of our time, people love it. Great playing!
Yes. Because of a tribe of people promoting a special type of Africana.
Love this, what a song!
wow...just wow
Awesome !...And I can hear a little Bob Minner in that.
Yes, the guitar lick at the beginning (and throughout really) was no doubt written by Bob Minner.
Sounds so Great!
That wasn't live but you made me think about it. Awesome music and video.
What a great song, such a smooth sound. This is in my top 5 songs from now on ❤
Amazing Amazing !! PERFECTION
Wow, TH-cam algorithm worked great today. I absolutely love everything about this. The instrumental, the singing, and most importantly the song. Chalk me up as a new fan for sure!

Thai's a WOW from the UK!
He singer like a angle😊
The Meador family is loaded with talent. Check out John's brother Jesse in Kentucky Just Us. Jesse won the national banjo picking contest in Kansas year before last. He is a songwriter/vocalist/banjo picker.
John and Jesse are ‘Like No Other’ when they are Together!!!!🎶🪕💙💙🎶🎶
Lovely music, beautiful song.❤
best active band in bluegrass right now
her name was autumn anne marie
knew she'd be the one for me
courted when the leaves were gone
future left yet to unfold
saved my money to buy a ring
planned the weddin' for the early spring
gentle years like summer rain
brought us to a fall of pain
seasons come and seasons go
Autumn left before the snow
she's not coming back to me
nothing's like it was before
i don't have Autumn anymore
but i still love the fall in Tennessee
when i step into the chilly air
i close my eyes and shes still there
walking in the autumn breeze
blows her memory back to me
visions of her smiling face
something seasons cant replace
the reasons why she had to go
only the Good Lord knows
seasons come and seasons go
Autumn left before the snow
she's not coming back to me
nothing's like it was before
i don't have Autumn anymore
but i still love the fall in Tennessee
seasons come and seasons go
Autumn left before the snow
she's not coming back to me
nothing's like it was before
i don't have Autumn anymore
but i still love the fall
-in Tennessee
My brother turned me on to this song. Love it! My only problem with it is it's not Kentucky. Great song!!
100/100
I love this so much.
Gorgeous song. You guys sounded great in Parsons!
perfection
