[@suzannepowell6721]

An 800 year old Scottish song that's had the lyrics changed several times and reintroduced with a modified slip-jig back in the 1970s. Love it.

[@honestj820]

Hello how are you doing…?

[@Sdority905]

What's the name of the original Scottish song?

[@TheTrumpReaper]

😳 *800* years old??

[@coreykoepsel]

Cotten eyed Joe is slang for clamida

Danced this at our wedding close to 40 years ago. It was the dance everybody in San Antonio had to have at every prom, wedding and quiceanera! God Bless Texas.

[@anghiggy5029]

That is cool as hell you danced to that at your wedding!!! And Happy 40th anniversary!!!

[@doofus0123]

Excellent! Congrats! (It also played at every one of my Ft Worth high school dances and all the church youth dances when i was a teen).

I could listen to Jason Roberts play fiddle all day every day.

Love Asleep At The Wheel! Such an immensely talented group of musicians, and those 3-4-5-part harmonies are where it's at!

[@theman4884]

I saw them in concert in the mid-80's along with Bugs Henderson and the Shuffle Kings.

[@beckyordiway7752]

From South Central Texas and Cotton yet Joe is always paid at wedding's. I love how to dance to this back in the 70's. Bullshit!!

[@patriciaarold1270]

OMG, can that boy play the fiddle!! I was going thru KZbin this morning when I came across this video. I thought I’d listen to it. WOW, it blew me away. That kid that wears the cowboy hat, please don’t let anything happen to him! He’s awesome!!! 😃😃😃😃

Look for Jason Roberts Band and Texas Playboy's under the direction of Jason Roberts. He is no longer with Asleep At The Wheel. I worked with his Dad

[@richp4084]

There's a big difference between people who play music and musicians. The current crop of pop-tarts play music. Asleep at the Wheel are MUSICIANS!

[@patriciajrs46]

You got that right!!!

[@IanRob2011]

I love Asleep at the Wheel and this song

[@nealbfinn]

I don't care what kind of music you're into.....that dude can really pick that fiddle!!!!

JENNA PEARTREE excuse me picking a fiddle is done and I know that. That is a part of the music being played at the moment

[@stevedunn6481]

I’m not into country music much, but this transcends all genres by simply being awesome!

[@un1onjk]

@@dorothadavis3117 A fiddle (violin) can indeed be picked, plucked, or strummed, but most often it is bowed. A guitar can be picked, hammered, plucked, pulled off, beat, or strummed.

[@dennislittle4279]

through the decades with all the different lineup changes, amazing musicianship has been a constant.

[@toro5338]

Jason, the best fiddle player ! I do like his way to perform country songs !

[@bobbiejo347]

I remember seeing a bunch of country-folk dancing “Cotton-Eye Joe” at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, Texas. Pretty awesome to see. Since then, I have liked this song, but only performed by these guys.

[@jeannekochersperger9871]

Spoke with Jason before.. He got my CD autographed. EASY on the eyes and ADORABLE!!! So sweet!

[@toddolson4267]

True real country and western music love these guys. After living in Texas you see what being proud is all about...

Ticks me off too old to dance to & don't remember steps but...sure was fun! Never had or have a weight problem!

[@susanmcdonald6879]

an old friend of mine, MaryannBishop, we worked at UT together , RIP, she so loved this group, went to see them all the time to dance , think she knew them, go austin.

[@jerroldkazynski5480]

I won tickets off AM radio to see these guys live at the Mule Lip Saloon in Colton, CA back in the 80s! Talk about kicking-A! The dance floor was a former JCPenny's or something. 3-D line dancing, surround sound, barber chair tip over shots, lines waiting for men's and women's bathrooms. It had it all!

[@XOkie]

Jason Roberts is the man! Gonna miss him with the Wheel but I'm sure Ray has it covered!

[@mrbeastman59]

Ain't the same without Jason

[@francinelaurin7779]

Love that fiddle music and always have.

[@sylviaross5486]

YEEEEHAAAAAW!!! Hell, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! That's one of my favorite bluegrass/traditional country songs. I'm a Sand Mountain Alabama native and was raised up listening to songs like that (in addition to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and The Who, of course). Every time I hear bluegrass, I get chills and goosebumps because it's the music of my people, most of whom came from Scotland, Ireland, and northern England. Celtic music evolved into bluegrass over here, so to say there's a similarity is being redundant. Bluegrass IS Celtic music, and I'm proud to be a Celt.

Here's an idea if you like epic music. 💡 You need to listen to Mötley Crüe! They are epic and they have the best drummer ever! HE CAN EVEN PLAY UPSIDE DOWN!!! Look up Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, Primal Scream, the albums Too Fast For Love, Shout At the Devil, Dr. Feelgood, and Tommy's drum solos. You won't regret it.
