صوت يصدح في جوف الظلام لا يجود التاريخ بمثله

That dobro, damn.

Thank you youtube for the recommendation wish I saw it sooner but here we are!

I'm 73yo and in my youth I listened to my mother's folk records, including several Niles albums. She said that she had seen Niles sing when she was younger. I still collect folk song recordings and have collected as many Niles recordings that I can find. Twenty some years ago I transcribed some of his recordings and sent them to early internet sites that showed song lyrics.

Why does he sound loke the Twilight Zone Narrator? 👀

He was very handsome.

Was Johnny Cash influenced by Cisco? I can hear resemblance...

I would never have recognized Peter Yarrow, well before PP&M!

Such lovely music and fine musicians. This time around "Go Away From My Window" slays me. Have to say I love the production values of these prestige programs that kept everything so simple, letting each artist stand up for themselves, you even feel that bit of raw performance nerves that you see up close in a live performance. Even the advertising is discrete and tasteful..

I wonder what Joan Baez was paid to be on a program like this one, in those days?

The finest folk singer in the world. Voice is 100 % perfection. Flawless, crystal clear soaring soprano.

Ahh Youth! How quickly it passes.

Earl sure didn't let Curley take many mandolin breaks.

Yhe real title of the song is "Fare thee well (ten thousand miles)

Wonderful performances by all!

What is the name of female with striped blouse singing solo and playing guitar at about 9:15 on video? Singing a song with Suzanne in lyrics but not sure if that was the title of song (not song Suzanne by Leonard Cohen.)

I think Joan Baez was only 19 years old here. A beautiful voice she was gifted with. I have been a fan for many years.

The most beautiful folk voice, perfect pitch and incredible vocal range. Crystal clear soaring folk soprano and vibrato..

Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs: The best Bluegrass Band ever!

Fantabulous.!!.

11:29 Cisco Houston

This stuff really puts a smile on my face!!

Goodness they were at the top of their game. Every TV appearance is a lesson in master class. Perfect execution and the mic captures a great band in great form with astonishing clarity.

Im half these 363 views lol. I wish there was a studio version of him singing this.

incredible that he didn't become much more famous

😢 my late Momma played her aqustic guitar 🎸 and sang "Joan Baez" song's & as a little boy this one always made me cry..😢 it is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard & its an old slavery song ...of mans inhumanity to man😔🙏☮️🌎

one can only laugh at this nonsense. thank you!!

The best Bluegrass Band ever assembled! They were the band that had it all, from top to bottom!!!!!

Earl smiling!!!!!

I grew up in the Bluegrass region, but never heard of Niles until I saw the brief clip taken from this segment in Scorsese's "No Direction Home." I was captivated by Niles's performance. In my mind, he was taking the Appalachian songs back to their roots in something like medieval madrigals. I have since visited the John Jacob Niles Center at the University of Kentucky, seen his unique handmade dulcimers up close, stopped by his old homestead at Boot Hill Farm, and attended several lovely services at St. Hubert's Episcopal Church, whose beautiful wooden doors he hand-carved and inscribed with verses from the Psalms. There, I had the honor of meeting and chatting with Ron Pen, Niles's biographer. I have been wondering for years where Scorsese lifted his clip from. Thanks for sharing this.

I wish there was more JJN footage.

Who Else Is Here Because Of This Guy's Cameo In Trading Places? God Rest Your Soul Mister McCurry, We Hope To Meet You In The Great Kingdom!

Awesome!

Simply beautiful! ❤

Been looking for this full clip for years. Thank you so much!!!

Astonishing clarity and effortless ability to hit any note, high or low. Each word articulated clearly and rarely mentioned but truly always just the perfect guitar accompaniment. Brava Joan, Brava!

Makes me wanna sip some shine.

Sie machte ein Drama, aus Konflikt und Nichtzustimmung mit der (verdorbener) Verwaltung... Drama kann moeglich Aufmerksamkeit anziehen. Die Farbestrahl Typpen, Gruen und Royal Chartreuse, sie konnten nicht mit Aquarius gehen; ein Liberal Demokratischer Party endet. Das Beruf Musik soll nicht Umsonstes Protest Beruf sein. Das Lied- Uraltische Cymric Lyrics war ganz verschieden. Diese Lyrics- erkennen sie, der Frohheits Engel konnte nicht segnen, wer hat der Mark "Amerikanisch", wegen ein Fluch daran; sehr viel am Beste, verlassen dieser verbotener Name, hier ist Kontinent wirklich Nova Scotia, niemals ist jemand Englisch hier, der Sprache ist nicht gut- auch nicht sehr gut fuer Volk Singen... *AmerikaUnmachen/TimekeepsNovaSkotia*

Thank You .

Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs, introduced bluegrass music to the world.

Toe tapping st its finest

She sings this song like Vashti Bunyan...! Chilling!! 💕

Great.

RH-4

Traumhaft schön. Da war ihre Stimme in den Höhen noch ganz zart und nicht so penetrant wie später.

Awesom .***** !

Wow, this is so cool! A really special piece of history.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I thought it no longer existed.

Anyone who loves country music don't even want to go to the Grand Ole Opry anymore, just like George Jones said then call that music anything they want to but don't call the country cuz it ain't

Great to see Cisco Houston!
