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.

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 must say I'm an old Tennessee Ernest Ford fan I remember when he sang that song "oh how powerful his voice was" "and young man "what a powerful voice you have" "I applaud you" and the rest for such great rendition of that song may God Bless each of you and your music bless us for a long time ✝️🛐📖❣️

I grew up listening to Tennessee Ernie on the prairies of the mid-west. I memorized the song and sang along with the music whenever I heard it. 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!!!
