My family is from the mountains of Southwestern VA and North Carolina and I grew up with Blue Grass, Folk, Mountain Music, etc.

My parents dragged me to many a Blue Grass Festival in the '60s and '70s when I was a young, impressionable lad.

Mom just passed away and I plan on using this wonderful song at her service.

Thanks to RP I bought the Jennys' first disc. Now I'm about to buy this one too.

Sublime...I can feel my insides humming over the three-part harmonies.  The other members of my house thought it was the Alison/Emylou/Gillian a cappella song from "Oh Brother Where Art Thou", a flattering mistake if ever there was.

This time it followed Ripple, a song about the existential road, just like that of the Long Time Taveller (sic).

Now I get the thread here: Willie & Lobo followed by The Wailin' Jennys—two acts that came together serendipitously as a result of some random guy (a Canadian guitar shop owner in the Jennys' case, and a Mexican bar owner in W&L's) hearing them and suggesting they perform together as a group. (In the Jennys case, the guitar shop, Sled Dog Music, owner named them, as well.) Thank you, Wikipedia; got my donation's worth again! :-)

I agree! Harmonies are uplifting.      {#Clap}

Kinda repetitive right?  Just kidding, I LOVE this tune... they could sing the phone book for me and I would listen all the way through.

Heard them sing this in both hemishperes, the only difference was  the direction the speakers swirled. So good both times.

Google переводить:  не точно, но близко к этому

Эти мимолетные прелести земли
Прощайте, ваше источники радости сухие
Моя душа сейчас ищет другого дома
Яркий мир высокой

Я долгое время путешествий здесь ниже
Я долгое время путешествия вдали от дома
Я долгое время путешествий здесь ниже
Чтобы положить этому телу вниз

Прощание добрые друзья которого нежной заботой
Давно занимается моя любовь
Ваш любит обнимать меня теперь обменять
Для лучшего друзей выше

Я долгое время путешествий здесь ниже
Я долгое время путешествия вдали от дома
Я долгое время путешествий здесь ниже
Чтобы положить этому телу вниз ..

And I'm sorry if there are any insults in there.  As I don't speak Russian, I let google translate.

This song made me realize the true criterion for ratings is related to how quickly I rush to crank up the volume.

Wailin' is right. Lovely as it is, I could only take this in small doses. The pitches have a "nails on chalkboard" for me after a while.

You have to see them live. Not to pick favorites, but Ruth Moody could raise goosebumps on the angels on the head of the pin.

This song is goose-bump inducing.  Throw in some Alison Krauss, and I'm not sure I could take it.   Beautiful!

Rec'd this CD for Christmas  couple of years back. At first listen, oh hum, sounded a little too poppy for my tastes. But over the years, the CD has continued to grow on me, this song one of many fine tunes. Now a favorite.

I think this piece is proof that a song does not need to be complex to be beautiful.  The structure is about as straight-forward as you can get, the harmonies are beautiful but not particularly unique, and yet you take the whole together and it is somehow profound.
