Blue - The Petersens (LIVE)

*LYRICS - Blue* ------------ Blue Oh so lonesome for you Why can't you be blue over me? Blue Oh so lonesome for you Tears fill my eyes till I can't see Three o'clock in the morning Here am I Sittin' here so lonely So lonesome I could cry Blue Oh so lonesome for you Why can't you be blue over me? Now that it's over I realized Those sweet words you whispered Were nothin' but lies Blue Oh so lonesome for you Why can't you be blue over me? Oh baby, why can't you be blue over me?

Amazing someone can do this in bluegrass. Amazing talent. Ellen is amazing.

[@ronjames-music]

Ellen is right up there with Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Patsy Cline, etc. She is definitely one of the best female singers I have ever heard. Great rendition!

[@glennericksenmusic]

Yes! Absolutely a world class singer like Patsy Cline! Here is Ellen Petersen Haygood singing at her church in Branson, Missouri and her singing is 'stunning'! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6irYWdsh8-tb7M

Ella all the way

[@emmajo4880]

She is one of those who could sing the phonebook and people would still be listening with a smile on their face! 🎶

[@johnfraser1799]

Agree!

[@harper626]

Leann Rimes made this a big hit in 1995 when she was just 13.

[@autorjvc]

wow, the genuine voice and the fantastic fiddle

[@Patrick-kc5ur]

Ellen's voice is her "other" instrument and she has complete mastery of it and the banjo. Each one of the Peterson's does their part so well, especially Matthew with that solid guitar strumming, and then Katie who make the fiddle "talk" and the quiet Julie Anne who is growing up way too soon, Mama backing them all up and then Emmet's incredible dobro work all in perfect time and perfectly in key. So much talent in one family it's a musical miracle. This family sets the bluegrass bar at new heights.

[@jonstefanik9400]

Matt especially keeping up with the tempo

Ellen's voice is just perfect for this song with her yodelling abilities. She is one of the most versatile singers I have ever heard! She sings "Space Cowboy" with most beautiful, tender voice and then she sings "She's Got You" with such a booming, big voice. There is no doubt in my mind that a great new 'country superstar' has arrived. Great job to all of you in this outstanding live performance.

[@walterlegere1403]

Yah, you pretty much said it best!!! But the only thing I don't understand is why they aren't in Nashville tearing up the charts in country music. To me and millions of others, this IS country and blue grass music the way it's supposed to be. The Petersons are just so good and their music is not only true to who they are but to the genre of music they represent. We are all very fortunate that they are willing to share their gift with us all. Thank you guys for all your talent and hard work!!!

[@walterlegere1403]

@@harddocs I think you have a point I didn't consider and it sounds plausible. At least we get to enjoy this uber-talented family here!

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

Walter Legere To answer your question. The main reason is they only do covers. Until they come up with their own music You Tube is the best they will do. They are good but cover bands just don’t make it big in Nashville.

Brave of you to tackle “Blue “. Loved it, especially the way in which you made the song a family affair. All of you are wonderfully talented, but it’s your combined sound that puts at the top...and will keep you there.

[@fishhuntadventure]

B Parrish eh.... might also be the simple mic-ing, permitted dynamics, and lack of ‘flattening’ in the production. Good sound, yes, talent, sure, but ‘purity’ everyone talks about is partly due to the lack of dynamic suppression and indiscriminate ‘standard’ production. Which they really don’t need. Ever lived through the torture of listening to one of those ‘recorded live’ radio shows they have that featured Maren Morris? As she crudely clambered through a couple songs? She needs the studio; these guys don’t.
