Hello from the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest area of Inyo National Forest in California! We're out here hiking and doing some writing and creative work for our upcoming album, and wanted to share a little sunset moment with you all for this week. You can probably hear me huffing and puffing a bit in this one because it turns out it's pretty hard to walk and sing at 12,000 feet when you're not used to it! (Haha)
Gear Used:
- Mics: Zoom H6 “Mobile Audio Recorder” (s71.co/3ndchRi) for the guitar DI. iPhone mic for the vocals.
- Camera: iPhone 14
- Video Editing: Adobe Premiere (s71.co/3a2W1yi), Pro Tools (s71.co/37TNgEc)

"they hung the jerk who invented work" could be the best lyric line ever.
It was originally "the Turk."
Wouldn't want to offend the Turk who Invented Work.
lol
@@BillGoodwin1 Exactly. I was going to make the same comment. I guess that would be considered politically incorrect (or racist) these days though.
I've heard the version "They boiled in oil the inventor of toil".
@@BillGoodwin1 I think the change makes it better
The best I've ever heard that song, in my 70-some years of folkie-ness.
My dad passed away not too long ago. I write this through tears and smiles as I remember him singing this song to my brother and me when we were very little.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️
I am sorry for your loss. Your Dad must have been a cool father.
I’m sorry for your loss
My Dad passed away too recently and this was one of the tunes he'd asked to be played at his funeral
I’m sorry for your loss. Hopefully songs like this one will bring you the gentle comfort of fond memories of your father. This, and other things like it, have for me and are now what I focus on when I think of him and smile. My best to you.
My mother sang this song to me, that she learned growing up during the depression. I am older than father time, now. It is great you youngsters sing it these days.
I grew up listening to Burl Ives sing this song. Thank you.
Me too.
This lifted my spirit and made me smile. Beautiful music which our young will never know
When I was a little boy, when we went on long car trips, my dad would sing this and other humorous songs to keep me and my little brother entertained. Thank you for reminding me of that memory.
Thank you! My father used to sing this to us. It reminded him of the 1920s and 30s when he followed the harvests.
A poignantly legendary American folksong that is instantly likeable and evokes the big outdoors anywhere in the contintent. Performed here as never before, with sunny enthusiasm, witty musicianship, and natural charm in a clever arrangement that blends sound and vision. What it all is, is Big Rock Candy Mountain the Movie! And we shouldn't be sad that there won't be a sequel, because this is the spirit of the song captured. Super! Fantastic!
Love the answer 42. That's the answer to life, the universe and everything. Thanks Elle and Toni!
Music has a remarkable way of moving people in the best way possible, and every performance of these two pure and authentic artists is a testament to that. Always touching the heart’s strings of all those who listened to their music. And I admit, including mine ❤😀 Thank you SO much Elle and Toni, for making our hearts sing! 🎶🎵✨
Agreed
💯💯🧡💛💚💙💜 It is worth every sigle note 🎤🎸
Amen ❤
Most Americans alive today were acquainted with this tune through "O'Brother, Where Art Thou."
How beautiful a performance is this? You have outdone yourselves.
I haven’t heard this one in maybe 60 years, and can’t say I’ve EVER heard it from musicians picking their way down a stony trail.
Thanks for taking me to the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Greetings from Milan.
My dad would sing Big Rock Candy Mountain and many other hobo songs for our great grand dad Daddy Lee Minks back in the 50s and 60s.
Here's some lyrics from another hobo song Daddy Lee loved...
Well if sometimes in your travels, you're in a railroad wreck! And the cars pile up on top of you with the engine on your neck!
And the people say you're done for! Ya can't live thru the day!
Get your Adam's apple workin and yodel your troubles away!
(Yodels...)
Well I met a little flapper...
said she'd be so nice...
She said how happy we would be if settled down for life.
And then she up and ran off!...upon our wedding day!
My pap said son don't ya worry none, she's a-takin your troubles away!
(Yodels...)
Thanks for the sangin!
You two are simply amazing. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for the happiness you bring to my life, on the other side of the world.
Damn, dropped a Hitchhiker's Guide reference at the end and everything.
❤❤❤ so jealous of the travels you have. Another fantastic song performed wonderfully by you both. I have trouble talking and walking let alone filming, singing, whistling and playing a guitar 🎸 😊
Beautiful scenery and song! Happy Sunday! 😊💐🎵
OK my, thank you for that! Sunday Mornings are always happy with you girls ... ❤💕❣️
"When evening came as the sun went down", such a sweet voice. You are awesome Elle.
And it's clear Toni doesn't like changing or washing her socks. Love you both. Thanks.
Love to see smiling and singin’ on Sunday morning. This just happens to be one of the first songs I remember hearing (born 1956).
Great song to perk up our Sunday! Cheers all👍🍻
You have to be kidding. Toni playing while walking down an uneven dirt trail, and since that's not hard enough lets do it left handed. Now your just showing off! Unbelievable, most of us struggle just to play let alone walk and play other handed, and sing harmony as well. Soooooo talented the both of you. Thanks for sharing, and hope you enjoyed Inyo.
Or ... and hear me out ... the video is flipped.
@@UncleKennysPlaceThat's what I was thinking
Yeah the video is flipped. Pretty sure she’s right handed.
@sinjon She is right handed normally. I went and checked other videos just to be sure I hand not missed that, so I wondered if it was flipped. Couldn't think of any good reason why it would be though.
Not to take any cudos away from Toni, who is talented beyond imagination, but I think the left-handed guitar playing is a funtion of recording on an i-phone.
I wanted to thank you both for posting this. I sent it to a friend who’s wife is very sick, and in the hospital at this time. He texted me, and said it really raised both of their spirits. Almost magical what good music can do. From all of us. We thank you.
My Mom and her siblings grew up during the depression, lost their mother to cancer when mom was just 13. She helped raise the younger kids . They sang these old songs together and aways seemed strong and happy to get together as we grew up. Music seemed to be the glue. They have gone from us, but all the cousins still get together and sing the old songs. Could you do " Will the Circle be Unbroken"? THANKS . Really enjoy your harmonies.
I'm smiling again. As always.... this is the end result of watching and listening to Elle and Toni do their thing. Wonderful.
We. Love. Your song excellent XD pls. Every. 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😅😅
Reina and Toni bring happiness to my heart 💕💕💕
meandering down tha trail amongst the ancient trees and singin' a song and recordin' it without tripping and falling on your face... I think that's quite an accomplishment! Fun song (woo-hoo!)
Approximately 1956 a small boy played a mono 78rpm record by Burl Ives in a rented house in Monrovia, CA. It had this song on it.
Was not expecting that memory to pop into my head today. Thank you.
I was 5 years old in 1956 and my mother played Burl Ives and Doris Day all the time. Magic for a 5 year old.
Elle Cordova there is no sweeter voice on the planet. My spirit soars to Heaven when listening to you regardless of what song.
Bravo to Toni's expert guitar playing also. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you & God bless you.
My dear old dad used to play this for me way back than. Thanks for sharing. Canada.
Fun rendition Ladies. Those Big Rocks in the candy mountain are 20 minutes out my door up the Marysvale canyon here in Utah. Beautiful Country this time of year. Thanks Again!
I haven’t heard this song in years!! What a great trip down memory lane 🥰🥰🥰. Thank you so much!! 😊
Shoestring hobo would have loved this. RIP, buddy, take that golden line through eternity. We will all miss you dearly. ❤
I have watched this video about 20 times. I beyond enjoy it. The lyrics are genius, but the class, and charm y'all perform it with is off the richter scales. Thank you ladies. For giving me another reason to be happy, to wake up on Sunday mornings.👍👍
Now that;s two fun and talented girls that must be a blast to hang out with. Bravo!
This was just pure smiles, for all of you singing, for all of us listening, the entire time. Just - love it. Thanks for this !
Thanks for keeping this style of music alive! Fantastic job and beautiful setting!
Just wonderful, thank you so much! I grew up on Burl Ives records as a child. I still remember his face on the cover of "The Lollipop Tree".
The answer to life, the universe, and everything .
Oh, my goodness! I love to hear a song I’ve forgotten about! Why have The Drummer and I not taught this one to the grandkids? We missed one! On it now!!
Thanks Elle and Toni. I so look forward to Sunday songs. 🤎🥰
My family and I actually own a resort called Big Rock Candy Mountain in central Utah. Love your version of the song. I've been following you for years. Thank you so much.
Great song!! I grew up hearing Doc Williams, from Wheeling, W. VA. perform this song on his 25th Anniversary Album- from 1962 I believe. My Dad had it and he played and sang guitar, and this was one he sang as well. Wonderful memories from that time. Thank you!
42. The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. Nice song
Sooo great! Same atmosphere here right now, as it is evening now in Germany and extraordinarily warm and glowing summery... Thank you for the music
That was a sweet take on an old classic. My grandfather used to sing that song to me as a child and I, in turn, sang it to my son every night at bedtime. Thanks for rekindling those memories for me. The harmonization at the end was nothing short of perfection. You guys rock!
Caught you both taking a peek every now and then at where you were walking! As another said, walkin', talkin', singin', guitarin', while walking down a rocky stream bed.... Great job!
I always remember Burl Ives singing this many many years ago. Awesome rendition girls 😍
Me too.
This song has spanned 3 generations now since Harry McClintock first wrote it in 1928. Then Woody, then Burl and now this version. Good folk music never dies. It only gets better and better. Really enjoyed this!
Great harmony by Toni!
Oh Elle, I'm so glad to have found you. Your poetry and song raise my spirits.YAY!
You two are such bright lights in this world! Thank you!
love your Sunday mornings, but this one was something special, highlighting the delight that the two of you take in making music!
You 2 are wonderful
Thank you for bringing sushi joy into life.
I am already looking forward to seeing you next Sunday.
God bless you both.
My grade school class learned to sing this 50 years ago now. It still makes me smile. Thanks for the reminder.
In the television special “Down from the Mountain” John Hartford sang this song. He died of cancer a few weeks later. It was his coda to life. It was good to hear it 25 years later. Nice job.
First time joining into Sunday Morning. Absolutely delightful! Hello from Port Wash NY 👍♥️🥰
Memories of Burl Ives. A great, enjoyable American folk singer seldom mentioned nowadays.
That made me smile! Thanks for singing the McClintock version!
I would vote for the next Grammy Award in the category "Doing best job for what music is for": making other people around the world happy again and again and again...🌞🌈🎃☃🎄🎇🌍🌎🌏💖
Now that was some serious "thinking out of the box". Thanks for reviving this lost treasure for the masses, in a time when we need it the most.👍👍
Loved it. One of my favorite old time tunes. I have a Bristlecone pine in my front yard.
This one of my favorite songs. Harry McClintock wrote it in 1928, though it is most identified with Woody Guthrie, who really made it his own in the late 1930's.Then Burl Ives revived it in the 1950's. Good folk songs are like that. Hey, 50 years from now people might even attribute it to you! 😂 Nice job.....and a good start to my day.....Thanks! 🎶
Fine harmoniy singing, I love it! Nice Douglas Adams reference at the end. Thanks again for entertaining us in such a beautiful manner!
Lovely song and great talent. Playing and Singing while walking a rocky path is real dedication. Love it.....
I think the first version I ever heard of this song was from Country Dick Montana, the drummer for The Beat Farmers.
I enjoy the old versions, and appreciate this new one.
Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻🤍
Thanks for doing this song! It was one of my dad's favourites. He lived through the "dirty thirties" and used to "ride the rails" looking for work during those difficult years.
That was delightful. LOVE YOUR MUSIC. Thanks so much!
Elle and Toni, thanks for transporting us! Happy Sunday night❤
Yes y'all are so great.....in the Big Rock Candy Mountains.....
For most of my life I thought Big Rock Candy Mountain was just a made up name for this song, and then ten years ago I drove by the mountain itself...I was flabbergasted that it actually existed.
whistling under pressure ! Love the harmonizing, great fun! Thanks!
I retired 4 years ago. I learned since, Working was not my style. I have loved this song since I was a youngster.
Really charming. The whistling really makes it special.
My favorite version of one of my favorite little ditties. 💙
That was lovely. Great rendition to listen to on a Sunday.
That’s one of those songs that when I heard the rarely covered final verse it threw me for a loop.
42, and never forget your towel!
That is definitely a song you don't want to Spoonerise!
Merci ! C'est toujours un plaisir de vous retrouver .
Toni perfectly closes this sweet song. Happy Sunday.
I love this song, and your harmony is FANTASTIC!!!
From someone who has used a short handled shovel. That was magnificent.
Thanks Guys. Now my Irish Eyes are Smiling. Martin from the Emerald Isle.☘️🇬🇧👍
Wonderful, lovely, lofi, real music. 💖
oh my god the harmony in this was so beautiful
Living proof that you two CAN walk and chew gun at the same time! Great mixing, too.
Oh the memories that brings!!!! Thanks for yet another Great performance!!!! VERY enjoyable!!!
💗Classics played by both of you is the best combination ever
Strolling musicians! What a fitting song for the area.
I love you both so much ❤️ Your voices, smiles, and music bring me such joy! Thank you both 🥰
This is genuninely such a nice cover. I'm pretty partial to the original myself, but this cover has so much personality. Top Notch.
Thank you - used to listen to this song on the “wireless” when I was a kid. Love your take.
A true pleasure. Thank you both for posting this. I love this song.
Very ambitious, and excellently performed! Super fun!!
Always filling Mith with mirth! Thank you for sharing your happy songs!
@UCoP-Mto_5ZpV0WgfVVWarBg what would you like to discuss?
No way you covered this. Wow. My dad’s favorite.
Of all the songs I've heard you guys sing, I think this brought the greatest smile. Thank you. Keep on playing.
42 :)) the answer to all questions ! that's a good one !
Wow. Haven't heard that song in ages. Well done.
Between the music and the background this is just so cool for the senses.
I first heard this song about 70 years ago, and I'm pretty sure it was already old then. Very nice rendition!
comforting music soothes the soul
