Great song, but I'd like to say a little about Brown Mountain. I live close to Brown Mountain so I've spent most of my 70 years hunting, hiking, riding horses, fishing and swimming in a creek on that mountain. I ain't sayint there is no light, but I've never seen it.
One of the most magical and unusual bluegrass classics. Bring back Saturday nights in the '60s at May and Ray's Broadway Tap on North Broadway in St. Louis...those guys could play! Keep it going!
Absolutely great performance. I don't really see a political correctness problem and I'm pretty liberal (or a commie as some would say). It just speaks of a real historical period. I doubt that there were many cotton plantations anywhere near Brown Mountain, though.
Never stopped to think exactly what constitutes a slave and his master. You only have a context by which you've been taught and that's because you don't know how to think for yourself. The funniest part is, you just labeled yourself a slave but don't even know why... 😅
I live bout 2 miles from brown mt seen the lights manny times also a big rice fan
I miss this type of ballads that I grew up listening to.
0:42 that fiddle tone can only be one man. I love how recognizable Vassar’s playing is.

Agree
So glad these recordings have been preserved
Why am I just now discovering this song
Tony, one of the guitar gods.
Tony is in great virtuoso company on guitar along with Wes Montgomery and Eric Johnson.
Very perfectly
I come back to this recording from time to time, and I tear up.
Love this from Tony, great fallsetto in his music. Excellent BG!
This is great bluegrass. Tony's voice IMO is a bit like Gordon Lightfoot's and I understand why he sang many of Lightfoot's songs. Thanks for posting.

i love blue grass,&country music, i don´t like spanish music, it´s pretty estrange,from MADRID spain,here just there rubis music
great song. just a tad, a tad, politically incorrect. lol
Borderland Films- The majority of us Southerners aren't politically correct anyway. We tell it flat out like it is.
Politically correct is evil.
Yeah well… good luck canceling Tony Rice from the annals of bluegrass. Politically correct can go pound sand in Portland with the rest of the commies.
"Political correctness" is commie claptrap.
