Kathy Mattea - I Will 

Love her, love this version, can’t stop listening to it. Kathy is the best. Her smile makes me melt

you can say what you want, as to who is best and what not. As for me, she speaks to my heart, and moves me to be more than I have been, I sang this song at a local club and did not think the people would ever stop clapping and cheering, thanks Kathy and friends.

Kathy brings so much to whatever she does. I love her humility. Her willingness to sublimate her talent to others up front. Nice to see her with a solo on the Sessions.

Thank You!!! Kathy's talent is so great. The clearest of voice and her vocal dynamics are just amazing.

West Virginia meets Scotland! Kathy is just fantastic.

Whoever got these people all together, THANK YOU! I wish this could be an annual event. Gathering up the best musicians in the world, to make recordings that people will be listening to a century from now. -jcr

My first real boyfriend put the original version of this song on a mix cassette for me 30 years ago, so it holds special memories for me. I love the Celtic treatment given here...what a fresh version of a wonderful old song!

So nice.

She unearths the Irish folk song buried within the pop song Brilliant! Taking Macca back to his roots

Wow - you are marvelous beyond words! What a voice!

Oh my goodness, kind sir, this is so incredibly lovely, and truly a gift to the senses! Bless your heart for your kindness and generosity! Blissfully, WVSunbird in Annapolis USA

One of the things I love about The Beatles is that they sounded different in every song and didn't try to show off, but really tried to convey the feeling of the song in their voice. Whereas singers these days just belt everything out with as much vibrato and power as they can. This is a good cover but I prefer Paul's simplicity, that's sort of what the song was meant to be, just the simplest song he could come up with that's also beautiful.

Good news for all fans is the release of the DVD "Transatlantic Sessions: Series 3" bringing together the best of Nashville, Ireland and Scotland to perform what has been called "the greatest backporch shows ever". All of the six half-hour programmes from the BBC/RTÉ TV series are included, recorded in a beautiful old converted farm steading in the Perthshire Highlands.

Oooh! Gives me a thrill to see Dougie MacLean!

There is a lot of great talent performing on this video and your group really brings the brilliants of the song out.

Clikcked on her right before St. Patrick's Day. My favorite song, for my favorite day. Thanks Kathy and Gang. Still love Paul's original the best, but he's Paul.

This song is beautiful whoever seems to sing it

there is so much good stuff from this series...this is fantastic... thanks for taking the time to post

Thank you for posting these videos! Very inspiring to listen to.

I love this verision of I Wil. Thanks, Kathy-san! Masato, Japan.

was looking at .. Na rionnagan.. on you tube came across this, loved it . id never heard of her before thanks

That is so true about the Beatles. They had a freedom to just make music. Everything was a hit....no pressure to produce a hit. They just made great songs....and moved on to the next one. Paul kept a grip on that concept....while John became so full of himself....

Someday she just HAS to do that Celtic album she's had inside her all these years.

Good News. Transatlantic Sessions Original Series (Series One) now available on PAL DVD at long last

Good stuff.

I have a sister in Australia called Kathy. Dig The BeaTles. Pure coincidence but a nice one.

para aquellos que quieran convertir en mp3 estos videos del youtube ,deben bajarse un programa llamado videotodo es fabuloso.....

@niri10 Don't mean to be pedantic but the line-up is three Scots, three Americans (inc Kathy), one Englishman and one Irishman (Donal Lunny)

@sonnydevaney o.k., I won't mention those two famous English blokes who wrote the song. Doesn't everyone know it's a Beatle song??!!

Is that Danny Thomson on double bass?

Aly McBain on fiddle

Besides Jay Unger on the darker fiddle, who are the other musicians?

@haworthhoarderplease dont mention the englishmen that wrote the words end music

Try Alison Krauss on the Now That I've Found You album. I'd say she beats McCartney & Company hands down, although he certainly gets credit for writing the song.

Check out Paul's bass line in the Beatles' version. It's NOT a bass. It's way cool.

What doesn't Phil Cunningham show up on? And what instrument does he play that he doesn't play well?

Niuce. Folky. Polished. But listen to Alison Krauss before making your mind up. Wonderful.

I like the instrumentals of this song better - from either Allison Krause, or Fred Benedetti.

Good News. Transatlantic Sessions Original Series (Series One) now available on PAL DVD at long last
