Came across AJ and Brothers Comatose singing "Harvest Moon" on KZbin about 6 months ago. Can't stop watching, listening to her. Crazy-skilled mandolinist and pure-voiced singer. Reminds me of early Linda Ronstadt, whom I saw in concert in 1973. The only concert I ever saw where the boys were fainting instead of the girls. Yup.

[@user-pq1rs8im6l]

My wife and I got hooked the same way. Because of her I’m a fan of Molly Tuttle and Billy Strings too. Linda Rhonstadt is one of my favorites too along with the Beatles. AJ Lee and Blue Summit have quickly become one of my favorites too.

New generation Blue Grass / Folks hero’s.👍👍🙌🙌🥰

[@maryglo1]

Saw Linda around then at the Oakland Arena: John Sebastian, America, Linda Ronstadt, The Beach Boys. Linda was a tough act to follow!

[@montymartell2081]

She is so much more beautiful than any Kardashian could even dream of being

[@cornstorm666]

Oh HELLS yes!!

[@lindamon5101]

Amen& 100000000x smarter& talented

[@motherjugs5163]

Amen; no comparison!

[@froter1]

I’m just gonna keep sharing AJ to everyone I know until she’s a household name in music ! A LOOVE her original stuff especially... she’s a superb talent

[@American_Proud]

Absolutely!

[@sebastiannai4381]

yep, her singing had me at first note. She is super special.

[@geniagoodman7457]

Amen!

[@alan4sure]

She's amazing❤

[@froter1]

Y’all basically rewrote this song for the better ! Excellent

[@delano62]

She is as beautiful as her voice is. Great rendition by the whole group. I've been watching her ever since she was singing with The Tuttles.

[@randallfrank5682]

Great song, I really like this cover version. AJ lee is nicely backed up by Blue Summit. Thanks for letting her be the star.

[@Shiloh8548]

Today is my first time hearing Ms. AJ Lee.... I know I know...... pa just never let me off the farm much! Gonna head on over to iTunes now and buy some of this good music. That’s the best compliment you can give someone!

[@paulwalker3172]

She deserves so much more credit and recognition

[@stevelacombe5291]

She just gets better and better.

[@maryglo1]

Remembering a weekend when baby AJ, my 3 month old and company at Campalot stayed to play music after the Strawberry 🍓 music ended... That night some amazing Japanese pickers, Prairie Flower, Cactus Bob,😊 Sara Elizabeth Campbell, and many others played on into the wee morning hours, perhaps aiding the Eastern Virtuosos' jet lag... Fast forward two decades and I'm telling my musical trombone tooting kid about AJ Lee. Collegiate kid says, "Mom! We grew up together at Strawberry? Playing in the birdseed and doing art projects with the Strawberry Kids down at the lake? You know where they have the revival?" Soundtrack: Japanese bluegrass players...

[@6stringwood]

A.J. Natural and beautiful vocals with the back up vocals are priceless! Excellent rendition. 🎶👏

[@JayKeller]

AJ's music is the best cure for what ails me.

[@bradybooth14]

AJ is amazing, what an awesome voice, and beautiful woman.

[@HelenCamile63]

AJ has such a sweet voice. No yelling, no theatrics, just sweet and pure singing. ❤

[@lindseywalker6925]

Chris Stapleton would be proud

[@JusBidniss]

AJ's simply delicious here -- seriously, that voice is like a rich, buttery caramel! And Sully's solo is insane! Are there like 128th notes in that or something? That ain't human, guy! Well done, everyone!

[@firepwr21]

A voice like....Rich, Buttery Caramel........I couldn't have said it better.... 💜

[@macski6924]

Oh those Tuttles...

[@fresnodick3717]

At the Parkfield Bluegrass Festival I attended a banjo workshop with Geg Cahill and two California banjo players. During discussion of technique, Greg said "no matter what, you con only play one note at a time. Except maybe for Sully."

[@janicejohnson6438]

Yes, loved Sully's solo too!

[@stubeef6385]

WONDERFUL CELLO BASS 🔊 IN THIS ONE . 👌

[@user-vo5kv9qi6k]

AJ Lee is the Bomb!!

[@tracyraley4003]

Best version of this song I’ve heard.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@warmerthan]

I stumbled across AJ Lee yesterday while skimming through KZbin and was shocked that I had never heard of her. Especially since I lived for many years in Sonoma. I spent the rest of the day listening to everything I could find of her and Blue Summit. I am forever now a fan.

[@danstune]

My late dad used to pick and sing this song so often. He was a performer all my life. Earl your music brings back wonderful memories of his great music and vibrant faith!

[@alan4sure]

How did I miss this? Fantastic performance by everyone. And AJ, you really are special!

[@toneman335]

A great song that was so well performed by these musicians and sung by A J!

[@Hespeakstruth]

Just discovered this outfit, they got it going on.

[@tracyraley4003]

Very cool.👏🏽👏🏽

[@ScottWalker3]

Wow- voice as pure as it gets. Smoooooth

[@rocdarjargm]

Damn, that was awesome

[@mji1967]

Voice of an angel but the way she interprets songs is amazing too

[@elrioviolino3549]

This song was actually written mainly by Mike Henderson, co-written by Chris Stapleton, first recorded by the Steeldrivers. Henderson sold the rights to the song to Adele, who has recorded it several times for release.

[@maniyan_wanagi]

Guitar solo made me say "DAMMITMAN" loud enough to wake the house. Thanks Kids!

[@JimB76]

Better than the original? AJ lee has an absolutely beautiful voice.

[@jmnstr]

You guys are just simply amazing!!!

[@froter1]

Love this group of beautiful people , playing and singing like angels 👼♥️

[@user-pq1rs8im6l]

I love AJ Lee and Blue Summit. The harmonies are superb. I love the pause before “still” & “soul”. If I’m not mistaken this concert was on Fischman’s property. Those lucky dogs getting to experience this kind of talent in such a quaint and beautiful setting.

[@stevenpoe640]

I've been watching all your videos, and you are a blessing to the ears, you and your wonderful bandmates. I see the videos of when you were very young, and already quite good, and it's amazing to see how you have really refined your vocals and mandolin playing over just a few years. You just keep getting better and better. Keep doing what you do. I hope to see you perform live someday!

[@AJLeeMusic]

Thank you

[@michaeldeeley6073]

No doubt, she can get it done. Americana music is in great hands.😍
