This sort of take on Ripple is how I hear it was intended, like Hunter and Garcia meant it to be a song people would sing with an ease that is captured here. Bravo.
Oh, your voice!!! I can't believe I only discovered you tonight. Incredible. One of the prettiest voices I've ever heard, and you sit a horse so gracefully too!
Gerry may have sang it by by golly you make it reach deep in my soul and feel life & just what it means to be a simple creation of God And I'm sure Gerry is smiling down saying girl you sound so sweet thank you for covering my song God bless your fan in Vermont Paul
My daughter who is now 11 months old has been listening to this song since she was 4 months. Her papaw found this song one day, and I don’t know if it was the horses or just just lovely voice that caught her attention but it has saved us in MANY situations. Weather it be bed time, fussy times, just just play time; she always seems to find the tv when she turn starts playing! Thank you, AJ, for a soothing cover!!
This video explains a lot about you .... you are blessed my dear not everyone knows the sensation a galloping down the road carefree... That you choose this song....if I knew the way I would take you home. ..we all seek that in life... Greetings from Dublin Ireland we love you here....you are mighty...
I used to sleep in Dwight Way canyon (Berkeley) and, sometimes, I'd wake up and head up over the ridge into Tilden Park at night. winters, too!..........
This is the best version of Ripple since the Grateful Dead way to go AJ my granddaughter who I seven watches it over and over she lives in Cal are you preforming around SF any time soon
The best one of all your many videos AJ. You and Dad did a spectacular job with the lighting, the moods, the locations, editing, smiles, your voice, the horse...just so well done on so many levels. 10 out of 10!
Beautiful! So many have already said things I think of your version of this tune. The memories of so many good years & friends from music stuff long ago. The Biz, the travels, the joyful times. Thank You So Much.
An extremely beautiful rendition of a Classic Grateful Dead song. The first time I heard it was at the gate at LAX in 1993 I was with my engineer buddy Ken, who played acoustic guitar. He was carrying it on, so he hauled it out and started picking. It led to him playing Ripple, we were joined by another voice in the waiting. It was jerry Garcia.......Thank-you!
just stumbled onto this, then had to take break, from listening over and over, AJ your voice is beautiful, soulful, Jerry would be jealous of your version, better said ,he would stand and respect, raise the dead :)
You are so talented! This video and your singing and playing are wonderful! God has blessed you with talent, grace, and beauty! Just ordered both of your CDs! Awesome!! Wish you much success! You need to come to Texas, we would love you! Lubbock, Texas! Cactus Theatre!
My goodness AJ, I believe this is the most Beautiful video I have ever seen . Our Lord was sure good to You with all Your talent and if You get any prettier Im scared You may put that mandolin down and move to Hollywood , I sure hope not tho. Love...
I have a crush on you AJ. This is one of my favorite song. I like your authenticity and soul. Hope you make it as far as you'd like in this world. Thanks for the rendition. Best regards.
AJ, You touch me deep with your voice and stage presence. Beautiful in music always, I've followed you for a long while now and watched you grow. Thank you AJ
beautiful and deeply touching, as usual. i love to see bluegrass musicians branch out from the traditional repertoire and apply their chops and sensibilities to non-traditional tunes. (perhaps b/c i came to bluegrass from jazz). i always look forward to your songs.
AJ has the voice of an angel. She truly does justice to one of the Grateful Dead's best songs. I especially love the line "Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men.". May we all drink from it.
+John Jbvin Hi John, depending upon where you are, you may be getting what we just got in rain. It's really greening up out west; some places here have 5-10" of new grass! It's all gone by June though if sprinklers aren't up or illegal. We'll need a whole lot more rain to help with this drought. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
I have seen so many female singing on you tube, and no one got my attention as much as AJ Lee ! Her voice is the main thing, and of course her telant too ! Hope AJ would do one of my favourite song Grandpa ! That would be fantastic by her !! Thank you AJ, everything you do is simple 'beautiful '! I like every single song AJ do, a DIE HARD fan indeed !!
One of my favorite songs done so well AJ,Beautiful video to go along with it,Keep up the great work AJ, Taking a break from shoveling snow I watched this and say Thanks !!
I'm glad others have expressed my thoughts so well in the comments I've seen. I'm at a loss for words, so I'll just say "Wow. Excellent video and excellent arrangement of a classic song."
+excavatoree This was truly one of those no-brainer projects. We had the tools and the talent AND a fine producer. Best of all, my horse didn't mind too terribly much the rented trailer she had to load into to get it done. It was a new and scary adventure for her but that makes her even more special. It really was a feel good day. Thank You!
My favorite cover of this song! I've been a fan for a long time, I loved your singing voice from the get go, but I can see how your voice has grown ever so slightly as you have grown and I can tell that you are just as good as anybody in the music world, hope you will always be sing, picking and performing in the years to come!
As soon as it ends I was wanting to hear you break into “Brokedown Palace”....you should do all the ballads on American Beauty and Workingmans Dead! Now there’s a project. Since we lost Robert Hunter last year and Jerry long ago it’s great to hear their music carried on...keep it going and thanks!
This is such a "feel good" song and video. As I sit here looking out at the mountains (well, the clouds covering them), coming to terms that it is still raining, and indeed, has not stopped since beginning of December, that we have floods in the valley below and can't get out to town, despite how much I love living here, I would change places in a flash (although maybe I would steer clear of the horse!). As that clearly will not happen, I shall continue to enjoy your music, your videos and your wonderful, serene personality. Greetings from West Cork, Eire.
+AJ Lee Nice! I love rain. It's not often that we get it down here in San Diego, unfortunately. Supposed to have it tomorrow (Saturday). Woot. ;) And I love the look of the clouds that come along with it; visually interesting and beautiful.
AJ, your singing is beautiful and your songwriting is excellent. I'm even more impressed with your ability to stay on that horse at a gallop with stirrups so long:) I would have been terrified. You must have a great sense of balance.
This sort of take on Ripple is how I hear it was intended, like Hunter and Garcia meant it to be a song people would sing with an ease that is captured here. Bravo.
AJ Lee the voice of an angel, Covid 19 has been good to me I am now a bluegrass addict Molly AJ Lee and the Tuttles .
My favorite Dead song. Great version.
i love horses, the grateful dead
and other peoples’ daughters
AJ is definjtley an Angel. Love You
Oh, your voice!!! I can't believe I only discovered you tonight. Incredible. One of the prettiest voices I've ever heard, and you sit a horse so gracefully too!
AJ Lee, You sing the Dead back to life, Amazing!
I love the dog reflected in the window!
Gerry may have sang it by by golly you make it reach deep in my soul and feel life & just what it means to be a simple creation of God
And I'm sure Gerry is smiling down saying girl you sound so sweet thank you for covering my song
God bless your fan in Vermont
Paul
When AJ uploads a new video. I visit all my favs on the channel.This is one of them. How good is this music video!

Beautiful song and the horse. Loved the dog rolling in the dirt...
A.J. Lee you are a gift from God in Heaven. I honestly believe that Heaven is sitting under a shade tree playing music like this with you.
This video explains a lot about you ....
you are blessed my dear not everyone knows the sensation a galloping down the road carefree...
That you choose this song....if I knew the way I would take you home. ..we all seek that in life...
Greetings from Dublin Ireland we love you here....you are mighty...
Enjoy life now that you're young, time flies,✌️ out
The best cover version of this song I've ever heard. Simply lovely!
+Erich28592 Thank you Erich

Such a pretty smile on a lovely lady. Love her singing this song. Never heard it before this video. I'm hooked.

beautiful and deeply touching, as usual.
i love to see bluegrass musicians branch out from the traditional repertoire and apply their chops and sensibilities to non-traditional tunes. (perhaps b/c i came to bluegrass from jazz).
i always look forward to your songs.
+iloverumi I think it is a right of passage in our culture!
A J, You just keep getting Better & better, I've followed you and the Tuttles for quite a while, keep up the great work
I'm sure Jerry Garcia would approve. Great song AJ!
Lovely voice doing a great job on beautiful song.
Great performance by all involved. Lovely to see you with that beautiful smile AJ.

Love it every time 💖
Very moving song. Well done
+Foster mcadam Thx

Excellent!
Lucky! Just found this. AJ you bring the spirit to this, one of my all time favorite Robert Hunter songs. Thanks!
Keep the Dead songs coming! Great Job!
AJ has the voice of an angel. She truly does justice to one of the Grateful Dead's best songs. I especially love the line "Let it be known there is a fountain that was not made by the hands of men.". May we all drink from it.
+Stephanie B Thank you Stephanie.
AJ absolutely a beautiful song and scenery as I wait for 5-10" of snow coming my way. I hope the next song and video is Hickory Wind.
+John Jbvin Hi John, depending upon where you are, you may be getting what we just got in rain. It's really greening up out west; some places here have 5-10" of new grass! It's all gone by June though if sprinklers aren't up or illegal. We'll need a whole lot more rain to help with this drought. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

+Paul Marsh Mom's dog there Paul. Dad's dog in the next cameo! (Mom is always giving her bath's because she loves to roll in, uh, stuff)
Don't forget Robert Hunter--Jerry was important, but so was RH.

Beautiful ❤
Thank You. You did the song justice. Jerry would be proud. Love the dog rolling around in the reflection
Beautiful version of a classic. Speaking of classics; Judy Collins' "Both Sides Now" seems a great fit for your vocal style.
+Renny Shelton Thanks!
Beautiful 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lovely version
This was so cool. I love the video. And wow, I was up in Tracy, CA visiting my great-nieces over Winter break.
+huyked Yep, we got RAIN!
+AJ Lee
Nice! I love rain. It's not often that we get it down here in San Diego, unfortunately. Supposed to have it tomorrow (Saturday). Woot. ;) And I love the look of the clouds that come along with it; visually interesting and beautiful.
+huyked pre-spring is an interesting time in CA. the grass is a foot tall in places!
+AJ Lee
:) Enjoy. :D Film lots... maybe even more music videos. :) I'm game to seeing. :D Cheers!
AJ, your singing is beautiful and your songwriting is excellent. I'm even more impressed with your ability to stay on that horse at a gallop with stirrups so long:) I would have been terrified. You must have a great sense of balance.
Beautiful playing and singing also enjoyed horse riding !!!
You're Fantastic!
Love it x
nice i love this
L❤ve this !!
Very nice.
Wow!!!
