I can't get enough of Caleb and Reeb

[@wernerspitzenberger6916]

same with me: two phantastic musicians, two lovely people, lovely song. goosepumps everytime i hear it

[@dewikartika7784]

@@wernerspitzenberger6916 also same with us..

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Ditto here. Just stumbled onto them some months back, and find all their work to be absolutely top shelf. Met Caleb at GMBR, to tell him how much I liked his work on the Dolly Parton tribute. He turned it around, thanking me. If you get the chance, go check them out. The real deal.

[@barrywhitley2535]

Never get tired of watching this video.

[@barrylitchfield250]

Norman Blake wrote this wonderful song. Caleb and Reeb have taken Norman's song to a whole new level. Just a fantastic talent these two musicians have together.

[@cormacbailey775]

Greetings from lreland would you happen to know what year the song was written..?

[@photogravity]

@@cormacbailey775 According to Wikipedia, it was on Old and New which was released in 1975.

[@photogravity]

I really like this cover of Billy Gray a lot. Reeb's voice puts me in mind of Iris Dement - there is a certain purity and rawness to her voice that I really enjoy. BTW, if you dig around KZbin there is also a cover by Korby Lenker that you'll surely like.

[@MrLmahar]

what can I say.Caleb and Reeb are the best

[@mikeruckman2289]

Something about this song I have to hear over and over again. Either their guitar picking together or or her voice blending with his. Infectious!!!

[@MrZivkovic]

Yes, that's exactly what I think!

[@MrZivkovic]

👌👍

[@hp2402]

I must learn to pick this song! It has the same melodic, single guitar-possible melodic flat pick style that made me love “Wildwood Flower” from the moment I heard it. These two take it to a hypnotizing place of perfection!😍

[@mikeruckman2289]

I listen to everyone else sing this song and Caleb and Reeb are the best by far!!! HANDS DOWN!!!!!!

[@gerardpoisson2042]

wonderful! They are perfect and bring us the light of the sun!!!

Best version out there. Love these two.

[@faywheat4816]

Just lovely . I am on a walk with my soul as I live with Mesothelioma . I am helped by listening to music, often in the night when pain keeps me awake. You have become some of my favourite musicians to keep me company, along with the late Kate Wolf, Luke Kelly and the delightful Kate Rusby. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. It is 4am New Years Day 2020. I start the new year with your lovely harmonies as I reflect that my journey my soon be at an end. Prayers and blessings from Uk.

[@joedunne6737]

Get well Fay. You're listening to the right music for the soul.

[@faywheat4816]

Joe Dunne , thank you for your kind words . Still here listening to the music in the middle of the night and it helps enormously. Today my young grandson asked who that band was I liked to listen to. Well he went off and found the Foghorn String Band on KZbin and I got text " great , love it Grandma!". Looks like the band now has a 7 year old fan.

[@matthurley7936]

@@faywheat4816 Foghorn Stringband is brilliant. So is Luke Kelly...with The Dubliners. One of the all time greats :)

[@faywheat4816]

@Matt Hurley. You might also enjoy a band called Planxty who were around at the same time as the Dubliners. Their vocalists, Christy Moore and Andy Irvine went on to successful solo careers. Andy just gets better with age ,but sadly their pipe player Liam o'Flynn died not so long ago. I'm listening to all the music that meant so much to me throughout my life and it's a huge comfort and brings back so many memories as I feel my strength ebbing and my own ability to sing in tune taken away by this damned disease. Prayers and blessings from UK.

[@davidkelley4111]

Stick around awhile, Fay! That way, when the extinction-level asteroid comes, we can all point to the sky and say "Look up in the sky! It's an incoming extinction-level asteroid! How often do we get to see one of those?"

[@gerardpoisson2042]

the very best version....

[@Mcrafty1]

I can’t get enough of this duo.

So glad! There are two full concert films by the duo on our channel and many single videos. Enjoy

Great duet. Love them

[@sergebrut4691]

Tres jolie prestation ❤❤j écoute depuis le Sud de la France . Music and singers are so beautifuls. Thanks a lot for sharing 🎉

[@andronikostheophilos]

These two are really enjoyable. Reeb's rhythm guitar playing is so basic, but so good. If I could pick someone I could emulate in guitar, it would be Reeb. She plays rhythm exactly as I wished I could.

TRUE LOVE KNOWS NO RHYME AND NO REASON.... IT IS FOREVER FROZEN IN TIME !!!

[@ShannonNicoleWells]

So very good. The harmony is beautiful. I like how I could hear both guitars and voices equally. I liked the tune there at the end, as well. Would love to sit down and play music and sing with these two but would settle for hearing them live in concert again. :)

[@SFarling]

Excellent version of this song! Love their sound!

[@mondayguys]

Love both of you and the Foghorn String Band!

[@LennieMcDonald]

Reeb is a very great singer and absolutely beautiful.

[@Filipgroesbaek]

What a wonderful version of this song. And I enjoyed Caleb's "supplementary" tune which serves as a nice coda to it.

[@mr.bluegrass9723]

They sound so good together. Reeb's hair sure looks nice , well she always looks great.

[@jakebarnes7266]

You tell this song is special for Reeb. Did she ever know a "Billy Gray" in her past?

[@kennethbraun4170]

My relatives would roll over in their graves. This was their kind of music.

[@rdalin]

A beautiful cover of one of my favorite Norman Blake tunes.

[@mikeruckman2289]

Still listening to these two. Doesn't get any better. Both play and sing so well together. What a joy!!!

[@doofus0123]

March 2024, I was introduced to this song at the annual Celtic music festival in Evanston Wyoming, which my wife used to run, by a man who stood up and introduced it what is known in Celtic music as a session , with him singing it acapella, explaining that, unlike many songs sung by Irish musical groups, songs that originated in the East and moved to the west, that one originated in the West and moved to east as it was written by a westerner, and sang by Planxty under the name of " true love knows no season." I love this version and I love their version too!

I agree with the comment that you can’t help repeatedly playing this version of the song. I prefer Caleb on guitar with Reeb to his mandolin despite how good he is on that. The guitar and vocal harmony on this is wonderful.

wow that old martin sure does sound good. is it a 0018, does anyone know what the top wood is, i think the sides are mahogany, i keep looking for a pickup but dont see one, what a great song and yes the whole band is great together.

[@muopos]

the top wood is mahogany. There a lot of artists that use those old all mahogany guitars. I have a Triple O 15 SM recently built. Has similar sound. Try one if you can it'll surprise you.

[@Pinrod93]

I think it is a pre war 018 by the size of it! Those small guitars will fool you by the sound that comes out of them. I have an old 1943 0017 that literally plays itself!😋

[@DeepEndSessions]

Caleb plays a 1939 Martin 00-17 and Reeb plays a 1944 Martin 000-18. Yes, both are Mahogany back and sides. the 00-17 is a mahogany top and the 000-18 is a red spruce top.
