This song is included in their album Songs our father tought us. Daddy Ike was a great finger style guitar picker in the style of Kennedy Jones, Mose Rager and Merle Travis, not to mention Chet Atkins.
From a concert in Australia. Guitar wizard Albert Lee said that this performance inspired him to become a musician. Look and listen. Two guys, two acoustic guitars, standing a good yard away from the single microphone, no effects. Sheer magic. It's included in the album "Songs our father taught us". Highly recommended.
Love this slower version which greatly emphasizes the beauty of both voices and the perfectly synchronized harmonies. So beautiful, so brilliant! Amen!
I saw Chet live at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, CA back around 1988. Chet is a guitar hero to so many people including me. His show was done in 3 parts. The middle part was when Chet played solo. I was in guitar heaven. Thanks Chet. Chet changed my perspective about solo guitar playing. Before Chet I don't think I thought of guitar as a solo instrument. Chet was often a guest on the radio show A Prairie Home Companion. That was where I first heard Chet playing solo. And it was transformative. Those solo appearances on PHC were all magic.
The picture doesn't match the audio. The steel player in the audio is Don Helms and it's most likely from the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman Auditorium in the early 1950's or even earlier, possibly with Tommy Jackson on fiddle and Grady Martin on electric guitar. A studio recording of this song was made in April 1956. The picture is from Carnegie Hall in New York in 1947 with Butterball Paige on lap steel, The Short Brothers JImmy and Leon on amplified guitar and acoustic guitar respectively, and Hal Smith hidden behind ET on fiddle and Jack Drake on upright bass.
