BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAIN !

[@ajurado800]

I love that this is a hobo fantasy song but is traditionally played as a wholesome family/children's song.

[@BigTim5]

Yeah… that’s right!.👍💕🔥

[@trentlk]

This is what you tube is supposed to be. No beg for likes and subscribe, just simple entertainment.

[@BigTim5]

Thank you. I agree.

[@panwitt]

im a 20 yo american and i assure you although they didnt play this in such an atmospheric setting, my parents and I enjoyed this too. its an american thing. one can only hope something this beautiful will never be a generational thing

[@brabbit303]

I'm 25 and have the song memorized and can play on guitar, no worries

[@BigTim5]

@brabbit303 great tune ! Is your rendition on KZbin ?

[@yoitsmilotic]

I'm 19 I've never hear of it till now but I'm certainly adding it to my list of things to play while I'm out on the trail

[@panwitt]

@yoitsmilotic dont break the loop. sing or play it for your kids if you have some sometime

[@BigTim5]

@panwitt I have six kids, several in their fifties.. they sure have heard this one from me a lot!😂

[@kellysueduncan]

I love the fire, the trees, ....what a great atmosphere.

[@redravenrages6321]

I love how it started our “Mountain” and transitioned to “mountains”. More joy to be had!!!

[@BigTim5]

Unconscious error !😀

[@KevinMaxwell-o3t]

[@BigTim5]

I am honored!

[@Paladin_Green]

I learned this song through my great grandfather. One of the last movies he enjoyed before he left this earth was Brother where art thou. It reminded him of his childhood. He loved it so much he was gifted the soundtrack one year for Christmas. He'd play it over and over again, And on that CD was harry mcclintocks big rock candy mountain. I heard it so much i began to memorize it.

[@BigTim5]

Us little ones loved this tune in the early 1950s.. I loved it when it was in “Oh Brother….”

[@joewright6455]

if you never sat on the side of the road in a no ride town for 3 days running low....you don't know. This song is as close as you will get. I will never forget the native american lady who finally got me the hell out....she was coming from a casino....and had just won. i sat in her passenger seat just listening....quietly thinking to myself..."$%^& Blue Lake"

[@BigTim5]

Yep. Been there and done that! Back in the day. Sometimes my thumb just wasn’t working…
