Jeez, that is such a killer song. What a great band.

[@gtajeu]

The vocal runs are so clean even with the speeded up tempo. Sounds great

[@davidpoirier2504]

I just found AJ Lee and Blue Summit a few days ago and I am hooked! Lucky for me they are playing in Portland Maine on March 14th and I already have a ticket. Love her voice and the entire band is amazing!❤

Beautiful voice

[@robertwilliams-wd6cp]

Great performance , A . J . is aging like a fine wine . AS is the band .

[@rioblancoman]

The vocals are fantastic. Mandolin girl has the groove and the Beat. Sipping me a little Woodward and chatting with my friend Bob Marley and this is a wonderful touch down here in Central Texas about 11:30 on a Friday night

[@dave30003]

This is one of the best versions I've ever heard of one of the greatest songs ever. What amazing talent!

[@sandymay784]

I absolutely love her voice

[@Wayne1952]

Just found this , Great sound I wish I was 30 years younger , I would love to put you some Fiddle in with that , Oh well , My time is gone , Enjoy your music while you can , Because to soon it will be gone......................

[@m.t.r.168]

AJ is a beautiful person inside and out - and this entire band is incredibly talented.

[@druth7969]

Do you read these? I hope so -I want to say - It is all in your vibrato tones - there's a quite a number of great voices out there - but truly not very many lovely ones. A beautiful vibrato is a gift - and it fits with your demeanor so nicely -it is really wonderful when you don't drop your notes - it is this and other combinations that make one want to keep listening - perhaps for hours. I bet you have wondered in the past why people respond to you the way they do - why they feel this way - it is because the whole package is lovely and they are drawn in. Do you recall Karen Carpenter? Her voice had a mysterious tone about it - some said "other worldly" that drew you in - truly unlike any other - the actual sound of your voice is different but it is similar in that it is hard to explain why it is wonderful - the resonate, the quality. I hope you can always be yourself. I wish you the best -

[@NoraBrown-y9f]

What a beautiful voice. And a great band.

[@PDXpackrat]

Love this version of a wonderful song.

[@djehoti]

AJ, it's such a priviledge to have your music in my life. There will come the day, I imagine sooner than later, when you'll be a VERY BIG STAR!!!

[@Tractorsandnonsense]

How does this band and AJ's singing just continually nail whatever they do?!

[@joereadel]

Aj Lee is one of the best musicians of all time. This band is extremely good as well.

[@chrisbevilacqua7169]

I just came acrossed this video and I'm so excited because I get to see AJ and Blue Summit in my own backyard (sorta) in Gilroy, CA at The Barn in June! Can't wait!

[@soulman2657]

That's my favorite Tom t song. Great job AJ Lee and Blue summit!

[@topcountryhits_uruguay]

Absolutely different and beautiful version. Congratulations!!

[@koomugtoo]

[@patpinckley1489]

[@patrickkelleher5336]

Thayer They are all new to me.......what a find.

The musicians play and sing perfect. Fantastic interpretation! AJ, you were so gracious to acknowledge the talent of the luthier! Great job, all of you! So professional!!!

[@robinlogan8099]

Love AJ’s voice.....& what a band!

[@visionary789]

This is such a wonderful song and AJ Lee does an incredible job singing it!

[@larrywilliams2325]

There are so many things to compliment on this song. The way this band performs classic songs in a traditional way is a blessing to me. AJ sings the song perfectly. The mandolin and guitar playing is incredible. I listen to this over and over. Of course, this song is one of many great gifts given to us by Tom T. Hall. I also appreciate the humility of AJ and the band as they use their God given talents.

[@davidallen9538]

Amen that 🙏

[@tracyraley4003]

That’s the best version of that song I’ve ever heard.👏🏽

[@MichaelFergusonVideos]

Great bluegrass interpretation!

[@glenbaker5311]

[@davidallen9538]

Loved this rendition and cover of such a great Tom T Halls beautiful song. AJ and this fantastic band just nailed it. Great job you all 🙏

[@richardtoland2624]

Lovely song

[@REAMELISHGmcox]

Perfect happy/sad country bop. ..thank you

[@rioblancoman]

Very cool cover of one of Tom T's best. My boy from Texas Daryl Dodd did a damn good job too. This is cool.

[@TexasCardShark]

Outstanding Performace, Tom T. Hall would be amazed

[@TexasCardShark]

All the band members really are very talented and i hope they keep it up. I look forward to seeing more videos and a live show.

[@garyhall8575]

This is a very nice version of this song. Love your voice on it. The boys are doing some mighty fine picking also.

[@BubbaRRNC]

WOW, You just keep getting better when I didn't think that was possible. I love everything You do A.J. an Company...

[@FidlerSongs]

Wonderful rendition of this song!

[@calvinwayneweir2007]

Love y'alls take on a old Tom T standard.

[@Venetiababy1]

Holy sht! That sounds great! Tinge of Nancy Griffith and yet very much her own style!

[@huyked]

That was a lovely performance, and a good and interesting song.

[@Hollcall]

Great jOb GUYS.......................Thanks ! CHEERS { sydney, N.S. Canada }

[@craigdenny2301]

I’m having a hard time saying how good this is. Talent and taste… great every time.

[@winki51z]

Amazing voice

[@forestfloor2259]

Great cover.....peace from Canada

[@levijones3005]

Wonderful singing and picking!

[@johnsimone9384]

Great … love the way you sang this song.

[@sireugenecourtney5797]

I loved AJ Lee's voice and the bands rendition of this song immediately. I hope you did this in Europe. I believe AJ Lee together with Sully''s unique old soul low voice should be incorporated into some unique harmonies and alternating leads on some of the old classics along with original material.

[@creepymccreeperson8308]

Awesome

[@ianbradshaw8781]

Wonderful! Great to see them at Westport Bluegrass Festival, Ireland this year.

[@timsmusic7349]

Could listen to that voice forever. The 2 guitars sound great on that song. It’s interesting how these guys don’t have a banjo.

[@butchjackson4428]

California Grass owes more to the Greatful Dead & CS&N than the Stanley Brothers. Her most popular song on KZbin is with the Brothers Comatose who also have 2 gtrs & no fiddle/banjo.

[@timsmusic7349]

@@butchjackson4428 Thanks for those details and how interesting 😀. I enjoying listening to the story that the tune is telling, more than the details of the instrument line up.

[@TheEzzieboy]

World-class voice.

[@ericmuse7299]

Beautiful

[@alan4sure]

Excellent as it always is AJ!

[@Charlie-fx9dp]

Very good cover!! From France.

[@bjorngillefalk8965]

Thatt's not acover that's a take-over.

[@excavatoree]

Totally Awesome.

[@williamwarrenconkright3973]

Aj's voice is sweet and golden just plain beautiful this reflects her expression to us of all sincerity and tranquility. Problems go away when i listen to this God Bless you all !

[@Rick78626]

Recently rediscovered this old Tom T. Hall song, and have played along a few times with my bass. Why did you wait so long to post this video. Love your rendition.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

This is Tom T. Halls most covered song. Buddy Miller has an outstanding version. I love this one as well.

[@scottconroy2712]

Killer heartfelt version! I love it!

[@derrincalk9579]

I'm in love 😍 I love discovering great talent!

[@terrywallace5181]

please come East for a tour, Appalachia region.

[@ptsmith4660]

wow, you guys are fabulous

[@bulett16]

Beautiful song. Outstanding talent.

[@J808s]

Solid work.

[@gonzo5648]

What an outstanding take on an already great song. I really want to do a ska/punk take on this song, now. The energy here says it would make that transition beautifully. I've often said that coutry, polka, and punk are close cousins.

[@ericyoung2959]

Don’t know how I missed out on her voice before. No more 🤠

[@rodbrock4759]

Very well performed

[@jeffphillips3949]

I enjoy your voice .

[@bertblue9683]

Outstanding

[@tro4404]

Great performance, talented band.

[@johngammons5471]

Great rendition especially on the guitars

[@jimfraser734]

Beautiful. I can’t watch it though as this singer looks like a woman I fell in love with and can’t be with.

[@silverstar4289]

Jim Fraser I made a similar comment on a different video. I feel ya. I enjoy her music.

[@jimfraser734]

Silver Star over a year later, guess who called me!

[@user-cb5we5dr5g]

June Carter vibes ❤️

[@bazthehandyman]

Wow....some classy pickin.

[@Venetiababy1]

Love the intro! For me personally, I would have made it a little longer so the listener could savor it for awhile before the lovely vocals begin. Smoking version though!
