AJ Lee and Blue Summit, “You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive” (Live from WinterWonderGrass) 

One of the greatest voices today, backed by some extremely talented musicians.

I’ve been listening to AJ since she was little and she has become an amazing talent. Her voice has always been pure gold.

Occasionally, something unexpectedly leaves a mark in your soul. The harmony in the last chorus picks me out of place, puts me somewhere old, deep.

The most beautiful lead vocal on this song that I have ever heard. Gorgeous fiddle and so much overall feeling. I love this.

Found AJ Lee this morning and I'm stunned by her voice! Her rendition of Harvest Moon brought tears to my eyes for the beauty of her style! Need to hear much more from this talented woman!

I think there isn't a day when I don't listen to Blue Summit. AJ Lee has the right to be proud of her band .their music speaks for itself

This band, these vocals, her vocals. Unbelievable.

Been watching AJ since she was 6 years old. Watched her when she was with the Tuttles. A remarkable talent.

AJ has a voice of pure honey.

AJ is a laid back Powerhouse. They will fill stadiums very soon !!

You've taken me back to BLUEGRASS AGAIN and I couldn't be more grateful...

The perfection of this has left me speechless.

A J's phrasing is just phenomenal and the rest of the band are so talented. Their sound balance is always so well put together, they must practice a lot to sound so impressively together. Fabulous.

Over and over and over again, I watch this

Beautiful, haunting voice, wow.

I've been listening to AJ and Blue Summit for a while now but the quality of this production and in particular the vocal quality, tops everything

So good .Compliments to the guys who sing in the chorus to lift the song beyond the ordinary . And of course the solo singing and sensitive instrumentation set it off beautifully .Pakipaki kia koutou !

Dang! Remember watching AJ and Molly playing together when they were 'tweens' at the Kings River Bluegrass Festival waaaaaaaay back in the day!

I have fallen in love with this gals voice. My new favorite.

Miracles sometimes come from odd places and circumstances Take, for instance, some of the best Bluegrass originating in the brown hills of California. These folks have gone from really good to really great and all those who preceeded them in the genre have to be extremely proud.

Such a beautiful voice.

What a Pure Soothing Voice!

I have watched A.J grow and she certainly nailed it here. Beautiful! 🎶👏

AJ's incredible voice!!

She's amazing..This song is haunting.Patty Loveless does it great too..My family grew up in Harlen..Hard life..STOP burning coal..🔥👍

I’ve been watching AJ since her younger days. In fact she is the one who peeked my interest in bluegrass❤️‼️

Wow, just wow.

Lovely cover......love this band!

I've always loved this song. This cover is really incredible. Multiple listens immediately.

so dam good,love you all

Just so damn good. It made me cry.

Wow. Tears are flowing down my cheeks. Nice work. Sweet vocals, harmonies, instruments.

Scott Gates!!! We miss you in socal! This is beautiful though.

Great version . A new favourite AJ track😎

That was really, really good.

I can listen to A.J. all day long. So smooth..

Beautiful version. Glad I found it.

Overall stunning but this Lady is a star

Beautiful song.

Just saw they are coming an hour away from me for a free show, bet your ass I'm going!

Awesome!!

Absolutely mesmerizing and haunting. Guys in AJLBS, what masterful rendition. Thank-you.

So good!

Wow!

Incredible.

Really looking forward to their stop in Morro Bay. Got tickets 2 months ago.

Simplicity and a melody that tugs at my heartstrings ...... and then there 's her haunting voice .......... it surpasses the original in my opinion ...I keep coming back to hear this fabulous performance and get mesmerized again ... and again ....

Pure gold, thankee

Beautiful 💗

VERY nice!😃👍🏻

I was this many years old when I found out there were two AJ Lees.

It takes true talent to cover someone else’s song and own it in this way. Y’all have done this several times. Cumberland Blues, With Body and Soul, and Who Walks In are just a few to name. And Sully Tuttle, Wow! What a beautiful solo. It’s so perfect it sounds like it was composed. Also AJ’s voice is a blessing to anyone who is fortunate enough to have listened. Love the finger style guitar Scott. And Jan, you’re my favorite fiddler ever.

Great players!! Awesome!!!

Haunting lyrics. Love, love, love AJ's voice.

No shade to anyone, but since they added Scott Gates their trajectory has been elevated. He was the missing link. They all shine brightly. Jan's fiddle playing is so freakin' tasty...

Wow. This is my favorite rendition of a classic song! What a beautiful performance! Great voice and and a fantastic band!

These guys and their arrangements are so wonderful. Although she didn’t write this, AJ is a phenomenal songwriter.

AJ and a song from Justified - like peanut butter & chocolate - two great things together

Good god

Young lady God bless you hot mandolin

sooooo goood!

brilliant absolutely nailed it - A J Lee is one special talent and the harmonies are quality

Amazing talent!

Y'all got it 😊, #1.

Awesome, wow, smooth! Beautiful voice and Awesome musicians.

Keep playing this one guys, loved it at Grey Fox, cant get enough!

Tight!

That's an amazing and haunting performance!

Wonderful voice.

Heard this at Merlefest and just had to find it!

Do I hear a little Dave Rawlings in Sully's solo? (By a little I mean a lot)

Darrell Scott's song is not an easy one to sing but she makes a fine fist of it here with support from very talented musicians.

Geez louise. They good.

This was awesome. Like this stripped down version as much as the iconic Patty Loveless recording.

I wish I was from Kentucky...

Its hard to beat Patty Loveless' version but AJ did the song justice for sure. Great job.

Sully !

🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮

Both grandfathers worked in the coal mines. The 1 I loved most died of “black lung” at 54.

👍

I listen to this like 10 x a day it’s so good it’s almost unbelievable

"....walked down Katahrin Mountain and asked Tillie Helton(actual person) to be his bride." Fixed it for you.

Love the pure ribbon mic setup. Would love to know what preamp was used for these AEAs.

This is incredible. Masterful vocal performance. Someone please tell me who that fiddle player is, too.

❤❤❤❤😂 1:54 1:57

Another great performance. I am hearing a little bit of athsma rasp and breathiness in AJ's singing. Take care of that amazing voice.👏👏👏

It's hard to beat Patty Loveless on this. I am definitely biased. But, AJ did a great cover, as usual..

I think I like that better than Patty's version!

hello sugar really nice video but i'm still waiting for that song by Eve Christop motion devotion

Eat your heart out Patty Loveless.

I like what these guys do with this tune musically, but I don't understand why so many bands that cover this song go with the shortcut lyrics in verse two. I don't which coverer made the alternate lyrics up in the first place or why, but they make no sense. If he already crossed the mountains, he wouldn't need to walk out of the hollow. And he didn't ask some pretty girl to be his bride, he asked Tillie Helton. Why write her out of the narrative? It's not like it's a super-difficult verse to get right.

We dug coal together....

About as depressing as it gets.

Very nice, but why not just listen to the original? Some songs do not need to be remade.
