  • A Folkie's rite of passage. Played on top of Skinner Butte in Eugene, OR. Played on a Martin 000-28H. My version is primarily adapted from Bert Jansch's. Recorded on a Zoom H6 and a Canon EOS 200D with a 50mm lens that was having a very hard time focusing.

    By far my favorite arrangement of this song. Drawing on the 3 best known versions (JCF, BJ, S&G) you've made an arrangement that is far more interesting than any of the originals. Face it, any folk song with 6 verses and a repeat of the first needs some variation and you have nailed it. JCF's lyrics and basic song are timeless, the BJ work on the B string, and he little homage to S&G with the jump to the high G and the G to C walk downs is brilliant.

    I was never a great guitar fan. It was only the background to the vocals until I came across you. Now, it has become a huge part of my listening experience. I have learned to appreciate the artistry of it thanks to you, Josh.

    • @marthamagee2055
      @marthamagee2055 Před rokem

      I don't see any similarity to James Taylor at all except in the calibre of excellence with both acoustic guitar and vocals. Josh has his completely own original creative imprint and style and voice and this is spoken from a lifelong JT fan ~ since the beginning. And now a Josh Turner loyalist! (And that goes for Carson too😉👌)Cheers.
