    The sadness in he voice when she sings "I killed the only man I love" Is overwhelming... and SO beautiful. This song is absolutely perfect.... As is the video.

    This video is so well done - the art and story adds a dimension to the song, which adds a dimension to the original song, which makes me never look at the Ohio River the same way again. You are this urban midwesterner's favorite active band now and since I missed you at Martyr's, I'm sending a bunch of Chi-town love your way. Peace!

    • @DeanRadcliffe
      @DeanRadcliffe Před 8 lety +2

      In this song, she says that he "would not take me for his bride" - so since she couldn't married him - she killed him !
      It's actually a twist on the old original song, where the guy kills the girl, presumably because she was pregnant and wanting him to marry her.

    • @phatthand
      @phatthand Před 8 lety +1

      Several lines in the male sung version, state that the man was proposing marriage and that she refused "I asked her if she'd marry me and my wife forever be""Only say that you'll be mine and our home will happy be"" I killed the girl I loved, you see, because she would not marry me"

    • @peterg9119

      The song is a 19th century Appalachian ballad, no doubt with British roots. Recorded in US as early as 1927. Many versions in the "folk boom" and in bluegrass, traceable to Bascom Lamar Lunsford's Folkways version (1953) and Bill Monroe's interpretations, respectively. This is really a great version of an immortal song.

      @Drew Badger , I respectfully disagree! Tastes are very different, and the version of the Kossoy Sister does absolutely nothing for me.
      I used to like Linda Ronstadt's version, but I can't find it anywhere.

    This, like the Justified theme is, is a materful piece of music. I love this video. It is as vivid as it is sparse in it's imagery. After she kills the guy, the despair and emotional turmoil can be seen in her face, especially wen she is in jail, and being led to the gallow's. The best is the ending though.
