Sontas, "Hard Times Come Again No More" 

Wow. I have been listening and appreciating folk music for nearly 60 years and "Hard Times Come Again No More" is among my favorite songs. This cover is the best I can ever remember hearing. I have played it over and over for days. I believe this is how Stephen Foster meant for his great song to be performed, and heard. Thank you, Sontas.

Beautiful pipes the best I ever heard. Thanks!,,,,

Absolutely beautiful 🎉you folks done a fantastic job.

All class……..thanks🇦🇺

So many have suffered for so long.

Hearing this sung in Ireland gives it a whole other resonance...

Maybe the best, at least second best, rendition of this song I ever heard. Great rythym and instrumentals, in addition to excellent singer.

He sings this song beautifully and clearly. Love the piper and the bagpipes too.

Absolutely beautiful and a great job you guys do

I have Civilization 6 to thank for my love of this song.

This is the best version I’ve heard of this song

I think this is how it should be very good thank you

Lovely instrumental accompaniment and vocally a truly wonderful version, although I have been in love with the late Jim Glaser’s a cappella version for many years. I think it may also here on RU-vid. As a Scot I love the bagpipes here. 💜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

A song for today for me and many more

Love the pipes

Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

People who post songs on RU-vid should include somewhere the songwriter(s), in this case American Stephen Foster.

Excellent! Thank you

So beautiful. !!!!!!!

The Sun is Shining on this great preformance 🙂

Why so short for the pipes, that's half the reason I watched it

Just found this. Wow

A wonderful version of this song. What happened to Sonatas? I can't find a website or any social media comments after 2015.

2023.
