"Bright Sunny South." Alison Krauss and Union Station

[@sikashooter]

Im not american but i am proud of my celtic roots, and this true bluegrass gets the hairs standing on the back of my neck. My mates think of me as strange, I brew moonshine, play the piano and hunt deer with a 45-70. some of them call me a red neck, I say no. I love the tradition of my motherland, and enjoy the culture of others

[@Skinnbones33]

Come visit Texas someday!

[@ericsnow3663]

Many of the southerners I hear are of Scottish, and some Irish heritage That's Celtic I believe.

[@gregwilliams386]

Isn't a 45-70 kinda large for deer?

[@flingalbunt]

I wonder how many people truly understand what a truly amazing fiddle player Alison is? No wonder her entire band is composed of musicians of the highest caliber.

[@billc2850]

God Bless the South and the men, women, and children that died for her.

[@rockmusicrules97]

I'm a teenager from SoCal and I love this song, their other songs and just bluegrass in general!

[@krogge10]

Still listening I hope?

[@michaelreyna4163]

Haunting and beautiful at the same time. True poetry.

[@taylorchandler7058]

Gives me goosebumps. Especially as a Southerner.

[@vajrapani6474]

For the Bonnie Blue and those that loved Her so dearly that they gave their all.

[@travismorgan103]

Makes me proud to be a Southerner 🇺🇸

[@bonnieblue222]

Southern by the grace of God!

[@Teatimes3]

Very much so, Bluegrass stems from the North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky (mainly). During the founding of the nation, land in the mountains and around these areas was given to Irish and Scottish criminals to clear and work. That is why bluegrass has such a 'celtic' ring to it. On another note, the banjo comes from Africa, where early versions have been traced back to Egypt. When slaves brought banjos to North America, slave owners picked them up, too.

[@matthewharper6069]

Don't forget west virginia.

[@petersmall1574]

Good point about the African origins of the banjo. This article (with audio & video) about Rhiannon Giddens, and her group The Carolina Chocolate Drops, goes into that history: banjonews.com/2016-02/rhiannon_giddens_old-time_innovator.html

I feel sure that many a young Johhny Reb, went to his death, with these sentiments in his heart.

wish more people listened to union station, this song is amazing, throwin me those chills

[@criskity]

I'm not much of a country music fan... but this band has turned me on to the genre!

[@farmmur]

I enjoy most types of music, but there is nothing else that gets to me like bluegrass when its played right and this is definitely played right. Alison Krauss and Union Station are the greatest.

[@rusty19412]

The true spirit of Bill Monro and Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs with the added delight of Alison Krauss. The best band on the planet! And that's from a Brit!

[@sugarfoot59]

Bluegrass is also, very much a part of Virginia, especially in the Shenandoah.

[@manmanman3648]

[@farmmur]

I can't imagine why some of the junk on youtube has so many hits and real talent like this has only 71000; maybe that says something about what we are turning into.

[@BonnieBlueFlag1958]

Are not the roots of bluegrass "celtic"?

[@jwestonmoss]

the overwhelming majority of the 17th and 18th century settlers were of Scot/Irish/British origin, so that seems pretty reasonable.

[@joanjohnson4874]

Very much so. That's where it originated.

[@Paul_W.E_Ingham]

Many Appalachians were descended from so-called Scots-Irish, that is Protestant settlers who were moved from the Border region when the Scottish & English Crowns merged in 1603. They were sent to Ulster to replace "disloyal" Gaels". These Ulstermen later moved to the American colonies and settled its frontier zones. Their music has links to English, Scottish and Welsh traditional music as well as "celtic" Irish.

To all of those misinformed Yanks out there, (I used to be one) did you hear one thing in this song that mentioned "keeping our slaves?"

[@lisaegan5483]

not in there

[@PaydayRC]

Alison Krauss is the bluegrass equivalent of Furgy.

[@edwardstewart4920]

Alison is a talented women... The other a commercial slut flash in the pan who will be meaningless as soon as her "sex appeal" fades. Alison will be loved to her dying day for her talent

Zach, surely you aren't implying that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War because this song says nothing about it.... On another note, love this song, it's one of their best.

@@ryanhibbard7580 well said, from someone who read the history. The South didn’t want a Congress that would always be configured with the North having the voting majority and being scammed when exporting their resources by the north. Pax.
