This is a beautiful rendition!! I'm slotted to sing this myself at a Civil War reenactment in West Virginia as the soldiers march onto the battlefield and the ladies look onward. I wish this guy could be there to play the guitar for me! WOW!! WELL DONE!!!

I've loved this song since i first heard it in the John Ford classic western," The Searchers". Lovely song....

My very, very favorite Civil War song. The reason the song was forbidden to the troops is that it made so many of them homesick for their sweethearts that a lot of them deserted and went home. The South couldn't afford to lose its troops for a song.

This song had such an effect on America during the Civil War and Reconstruction period. I hail from the small town of Lorena, Texas, which was named for Lorena Westbrook, whose name of course was inspired by the song.

Before hearing this I had always leaned towards John Hartford for the most haunting version....but this rips my heart out. Can you imagine him doing this on a 12-string??

I had an Aunt Lorena, named after the song. As can be expected I have confederate solders in my background. This song is beautiful.

@MsYoako If you hear a violin recording of it, its very haunting, I'm a reenactor, and not to sound like I know what they went through because none of us ever will, you do get a little more in touch with them, and it will really give you chills

Let me continue Charlies comment. It was forbidden to be sung on both sides, generals threatened to shoot anyone playing this song because it made the soldiers homesick and the urge rose to desert. Sometimes in batlle, one side would play the song to demoralize the other side to make them stop fighting, the effectiveness of which remains unknown. But every soldier knew this song which ripped their hearts out.

@cvcoco The men sang it (and other songs) anyway. This only goes to show just how smart the "brass" on both sides really were.

I think it would be quite cool to be named after this song and then sung to as well. Wow lucky girl. This is my favorite CW song and a very excellent version though sorry, my heart is stuck on the Ken Burns version.
