The Travelin’ McCourys performing "Cumberland Blues" at Music City Roots Live From The Factory on 8.12.2015 #TravelinMcCourys #2019GrammyAwards #Grammy
For those interested the instrumental improvisation at the end is a traditional song called Cumberland Gap. The titles make a natural followup to Cumberland Blues
This might be the most incredibly talented group of musicians anywhere. I'm an old Deadhead myself, and it was a thrill to first hear them do it last year at DelFest, which of course is in Cumberland MD. This is one of my favorite Grateful Dead tunes, and it is cool to hear it played by guys who sing as well as these. A wonderful anecdote by lyricist Robert Hunter: he said an actual coal miner once observed to him, "I wonder what the guy who wrote this song would think if he heard a band like the Grateful Dead perform it." Hunter took that as a great compliment.

Jerry would be giggling and wanting to join in. 👍
WOW! Jerry's spirit has to be loving this.
Jerry and the rest of the boys would be proud! Bravo!
Jerry is looking down with a big old smile, thinking, "I'd love to jam with those guys"

i appreciate that
I was hoping they’d go into that one☀️
I live 5 minutes from the town of Cumberland Gap and would give anything if some bigger bluegrass names would come play around here
I love this tune and this version
Yes,Indeed!
Great Workingman's music
Superb musicians. Incredible harmonies. Extraordinary improvisation. A hell of a lot of fun.
It's kind of overwhelming how good everyone is here. What a high level of playing!
It’s groovy
This is great!

This is cool. If Jerry had ever brought his banjo out on stage at a GD show, this would have been the song for it.

Off the wall, but is Robbie playing Earl's Grenada here? I cant see all of it.

Jason Carter might be a GOD?

Jay Mahnken
You should hear his girlfriend Kimber Ludiker. She's better than him. Both fantastic fiddlers.
This is awesome and would be a million times better if that guy's bass were mixed in.
Now, if only they did their version of teen spirit.

I've got something for all the dummy's that thumbed this down. I hope they're hungry.

That's Alan Bartram on the bass.

Cody Kilby
What's the 2nd tune? Katy Hill? Boy, it's brisk.
Cumberland Gap!
