eTown Finale with Tim O'Brien & Darrell Scott - Columbus Stockade Blues (eTown webisode  

Tim and Darrell are magic together!

When we were growing up in a logging camp on Vancouver Island (access by water, only) - and my grandparents had the only radio (short-wave) in the camp - we'd listen to the Grand Ol' Opry on Saturday nights. This was 1949 to 1955 - when a road was built into the camp, and we finally moved to town when I started school. My dad was the leader of The Campbell River Ramblers - and they'd rehearse at our house. I remember singing 'Columbus Stockade Blues' on-stage at one of the local seasonal "things" when I was about 5 yrs old - accompanying myself on mandolin, while my Dad played a National dobro and my mother played mouth harp. Every time I hear this song - I am instantly transported back to that time and place. So wonderful to hear these guys do it . . ..

O’Brien and Scott make a powerful duo. Their acoustic sets are amazing. Synergism.

Darrell Scott is a treasure subtly weaving himself into the landscape of MY life much like the heroes he honors. ❣️

The best rendition of this song I have ever heard!

These guys are so good together!

What a great rendition of this grand old number. Bravo, boys!

I love this song.

Awesome version of a classic. Never heard it with the Texas Swing style.

That’s one of the best versions of that song !!! & I know that’s a mouthful from everyone that’s done it Doc Watson to Leon Russell & everywhere in between but that was good!!!

Musical brilliance!!

Darrell’s voice is just too good

of course that's red knuckles on mandolin

wendel mercantile on bass I do believe

What is Darrell playing?

Strange but rather pleasant interpretation. (Do the acoustic Blue Grass folks cringe when they hear this?) JUST KIDDING

What’s not to like about this, I really feel sorry for those muppets that don’t get it.
