Jaw just dropped, I stopped and logged in just to like and comment. This is a return to my childhood. My parents played this song a million times. At 65 I never dreamed I would hear a better version than the one I heard so many years ago. Makes me want to go back and play this version for them. They would agree with me. But, still I give credit to Tennessee Ernie Ford for my affection to the song.

@chrisagler8472 2 года назад

Great cover but T. E. Ford still wins hands down. He made you feel it. Beautiful harmony though and well sung. definitely gets the thumbs up. I'm so glad that others are keeping the old song stories alive. It is our history you know. Still constantly tries to be the present too. Bet they could do a decent Big John.

Naw..... not say they're bad but this version of 16 tons is way too folksy. When the song was first written Bob Merrill and Terry Shand is about some guy in the coal mines. Even the original score had the tough hard working feel of the coal worker. This version didn't have that feeling to it.

I was born in ‘55… somewhere around ‘58 or so, based on the age I remember it, my parents and some of their friends had this deep discussion on whether Ford was saying he owed his soul to ‘the company store(sto)’ , or ‘company stove’…They went round and round for hrs…I later heard a version on his variety show where he made a point to emphasize ‘store’…but in the original version, its up for grabs….interesting times back then

Yeah it's a definitely a good group. As I get more experienced in production it becomes apparent when there is editing like auto tune and possibly timing, but don't let that take away from the quality of the musicians either. I'm just saying there is editing on this, but it does sound great and a lot is still left up to the musicians. Their violin player is seriously great.

I'm 56 and raised in Alabama. I had two older sisters, and a mama and a daddy. We sang all the time. Around the house, Susan played mandolin; Paula played 12-string; we'd sing just about anything! The McClain Family band, John Denver, the soundtrack from Purlie -- you name it. On long car trips we sang. My job as the 3rd child was to sing 3rd harmony. Not until early adulthood did I realize that not every family bursts into song on the reg. Thank you Southern Raised for keeping this music going. Now here's y'all a treat from your new Aunt Betsy: Search "Johnny Cash reads aloud 'The Cremation of Sam McGee.'" It's a poem they taught us in 6th grade, and it's perfect for the Halloween season!

I didn’t quite understand all the subtle meanings of the song until I married a coal miners daughter from West Virginia. My father-in-law took me on a short tour of his mine. After that little tour and getting to know the people and the culture I really came to understand what the words meant. It was so good to hear the song again. I almost thought I was listening toe Tennessee Ernie. THANKS!!!

What an INCREDIBLE cover, of one of the great American classics of all time. When I first heard this song as a kid, it had probably already been around for about 40 years--yet it still rocked my world. Now, another 40+ years later, I am still hearing new covers of it all the time. This one, though, is no ordinary cover. It is a magnificent remake of the entire song, from start to finish. The original vocal melody is completely gone--not a single three note phrase is the same as in the original song. And the sound is very refined and polished--something that would normally ruin a song like this one, since a whole lot of the charm of the Merle Travis version was a function of its raw sound and working class energy. Yet this version is magnificent, and it immediately sounded familiar and real. The terrific musicianship doesn't hurt, of course.

Hi there, I was just going through a post on a page then your profile caught my attention and you seem worth talking to so I could not pass by without saying hi and ask how you doing. Do you mind us talking and getting to know each other better, I will love to be in your circle of friends. But I don't want to send you a Friend request without your permission, hope you don't mind sending me a friend request?

Merle Travis wrote this song and released it in 1946 on his album “Folk Songs of the Hills”, nine years before TEF made it a hit in 1955. My favorite Merle song, “Dark as a Dungeon” also came off that album.

If I am not mistaken, Johnny Cash did a cover of "Dark as a Dungeon."

It's sooo nice to hear singers with controlled voices who don't have a tremulo! 'Nice, clear tones of real singing! Thanks!

This song got me into Americana music too many years ago when I was a child in the 50s. Great job you guys.

Like so many others here, I'm in my mid sixties and I first heard this as a little kid when my parents played it on the record player. Geoff Castellucci does a great cover, but this... is superb! Fine, fine work!

Once in a while someone covers an old classic this is the best since Ernie Ford did it.

I loved this song, haven't heard for years. Thanks for bringing it up to us. That manly voice is my favorite since I was a child.

I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?

@howardsutherland66 2 года назад

Awesome ! Love this version. I remember this song from when I was very young (about 5 years old) sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford. My parents had loads of records, mostly Country and Western so that's what I grew up listening to. As I got older I transitioned to Folk music and of course Rock music but these old songs are still locked in my memory. Thanks for this.

It's amazing to be able to hit the low notes and sing along. Wow what resonance. The neighbor next door must be thrilled as well. Anybody else? I know this is worldly music, and its back to hymns after this one.
