Abigail Washburn - Nobody's Fault But Mine

[@jaykuchera5058]

This is an amazing recording. Not just because she serves up a powerful vocal and instrumental rendition ( real mojo here), but as the video drifts the performance from from space to space, the reverb changes. How many songs vary natural reverb by walking the performance through different environments? It pulls me into the moment it was recorded. Raw, rough, natural , yet superbly captured. Haunting.

[@gorgonicia]

Yesss, so cool

[@amandaaunko6535]

Naw, that's just Blind Willie speaking to you. Look him up. Talk about haunting! Real blues from the soul.

[@MrYetze]

oh my gosh, this sunshine and shadow suddenly remind me of Edward Hopper's painting, a sunny winter afternoon in New England

[@timpani1950]

I had no idea her voice was so strong and expressive; simply brilliant.

[@tracy4179]

Wow. Felt the feels and emotions The acoustics that added to the intensity of this beautiful piece and the sound of her voice is just incredible… Thank you for sharing this with all……🪬🕉️☯️💟🫶🏽🎶🎵🎶♾️

[@RavenRaven-se6lr]

That’s old building brought out excellent tones . God Bless🇦🇺👍

[@tomlettman]

This is American roots music at its best. Great vocal from Abigail.

[@salanderlisbeth4319]

América is a Continent! Not a country!! 🇧🇷🚩✊🏾

[@erock2229]

I absolutely cannot love this enough. I don't even know how many times I've watched this great performance. I love Abigail!!!! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@johnmacquarrie8535]

Stunning

[@jonhille]

I found this song after so long, my dad had it on an mp3 player and i would listen to all his songs for hours in those days before i even knew about school. (sorry if this makes anyone feel old but this is one of the first recorded pieces of music i can remember hearing)

[@belletollz]

absolutely beautiful and love the shifting atmospheres and how they affect the sound, as someone else mentioned. really cool way to record.

[@michelsomville3209]

Great acoustics in that old building.

[@edson-BR-2025]

Shes got so much talent

[@timpani1950]

Amazing, beautiful, haunting....thank you for posting. Check out her song in Chinese "Journey Home." Keep 'em coming; music is God on call-waiting!

[@dykeneuk]

Absolutely brilliant

[@humancolorsmedia]

I haven't actually checked with my banjo but quickly it sounds like the 'sawmill' tuning. Done by raising the second string to a C (half tone up from B). You'd hear this tuning in ''Cuckoo'' by Clarence Ashley for example .

[@spotoboy]

most wonderful

[@DLoreleiSweetPea]

Such a Lisa Loeb scene! Love it-

[@BluegrassPhil]

Amazing spirit !

[@Dai1961]

wonderful.

[@badassmystichealingtarot]

❤

[@lonshoemaker5184]

Word.

[@krimskrams]

@banjovenus sounds like g minor in this particular bit judging by the sound and the capoe as it is. dock boggs and the other great clawhammer pickers used this tuning to sing the blues

[@Matersoup]

G Modal (Sawmill) tuning capo'd up to A Modal. Beautiful rendition. I wish I could play 1/10 as well....

[@spotoboy]

Tenors are 4 string and you can see the 5th tuner sticking out the side of the neck. I think this one is an OME. Her resonators are OMEs. She is great and could make a broom sing.

[@gorgonicia]

could make a broom sing, haha! i believe she could!

[@RickDanner]

wow

[@ShineolaCom]

Sigh... awesomeness.

[@leeahmariie]

oh my god her voice.

[@zagpau]

cool

[@banjovenus]

@krimskrams thanks! I am familiar with g minor tuning and will have a go at it!

[@sweetlolitaChii]

What genre of music is this? This is fantastic

[@janefoggin5546]

The song originates from African American blues man Blind Willie Johnson. This style by Abigail with frailing banjo is more like old time mountain music.

[@ecoputsch]

What crooked bridge? It looks straight to me. It could be slanted however, as it is on many folk guitars and for the same reason.

[@abbanjo13]

Is this in sawmill tuning?

[@MissDimples87]

2:20...Get it girl!

[@banjovenus]

anybody have a clue how her banjo is tuned when its open (without capo)?

[@BaronLane]

Greta video. What kind of camera was used?

[@ACSmither89]

Is this a tenor banjo the neck looks smaller?

[@valleyechos2350]

💞 🎶✌🌾

[@valleyechos2350]

@NEVA'EH RAMOS Feeling ok?

[@jimbo9580]

Is this standard tuning ?

[@Graysonhd]

If that's an abandoned building why does it have a brand-new fire extinquisher on the wall? Or is that just courtesy of NYFD?

[@gorgonicia]

just in case her fingers caught on fiyah when they were recording, cuz that shit was HOT! hahaha

[@jaimecool9450]

They may have had to put a fire extinguisher in when they "rented" the space to play, for liability reasons

[@ThomasRohde]

[@jaredwblack]

So much more meaningful, pleasing to hear and true to the spirit of Blind Willie's original than Robert Plant's screeching

[@LucDaRocka1]

Ted Who?

[@lindamckellar2814]

It's an Ome Jubilee.

[@marisaelenenadiejamusiccom3974]

Dull

[@Bascomblodge]

Socialist?

[@kjkr59]

You know it... this chick should have stayed over in China. There's nothing authentically Bluegrass about her.
