Doc Watson - Wayfaring Stranger

[@lh3428]

I love how he kept the guitar simple so the words would predominate. Beautiful rendition.

[@nickpavone5220]

Man his voice..its like a warm blanket...so soothing...❤

[@howardlovecraft750]

For those who haven't heard Doc's music, they're missing out.

[@josephlemko3027]

Darryl Hurd: I agree with your assessment. Doc Watson's music is magical.

[@miroslavloncar8857]

Did You check the book"Blind But Now I See"?

[@emiller9426]

For sure!

[@dantouzeau6985]

Wow didn't know H. P. was a fan lol

[@matt01506]

Whenever I hear covers I always recommend in the comments that people should check out doc Watson. (Ihad a thank you from a German woman who played acoustic guitar for introducing her). Another I can't help myself recommending is a phenomenal version of "house of the rising sun" by the long forgotten gospel group the weavers. (Ronnie Gilbert's voice is something to behold)

[@suzannji]

My Daddy used to play this song, and hearing it brings the tears running down my face.

[@markfisher6404]

Mine Dad never sang this, yet your comment brings tears to my eyes

[@musicmadgic6931]

I'm a Daddy, and I play this song on banjo for my children, (all three sing it beautifully), and it does make me wonder...

[@sssuperstacy]

I'm just a poor, wayfaring stranger While traveling thru this world of woe There is no sickness, toil or danger In that bright world to which I go I’m going there to see my Father I’m going there, no more to roam I’m just a-going over Jordan I’m just a-going over home I know dark clouds will gather o'er me I know my path is rough and steep But golden fields lie out before me Where weary eyes no more shall weep I’m going there to see my Savior Who shed for me His precious blood I’m just a going o'er Jordan, I’m just a going o'er home

[@romansole3505]

Doc Watson is an inspiration to me because he’s proof that you don’t need range to be a powerful or expressive singer. I’m honored to share a home state with him, my he Rest In Peace

[@Kitiwake]

It's a tune without much range, tbh.

[@SouravDas-ix6nn]

Nobody in music can even be able to get closer to him .....he is the ocean of soul

[@edwincombs4042]

I saw Mr. Watson do this song at one of his shows in North Wilkesboro back in the 70's. He did it with a local kid who had MS or some similar condition. When they were sitting it up to perform, I didn't expect a lot. The rest of the band stood back leaving just those two. When they were finished I doubt there was a dry eye in the place. And I know I'll never forget it.

katie cook I can understand people being not fond enough of it to give it a positive Like, but what's there to actually Dislike? Untrained maybe but still fine, resonant baritone voice, and beautiful sounding acoustic guitars played sympathetically with perhaps simple but nevertheless attractive melody and Doc's voice. I'm another one who doesna get it.

Anyone know of a slower version of this song? I don't know the Artist. It was the "b" side of a 1970's "Robinson Crusoe" 45 r.p.m. I had. Its still THE MOST BEAUTIFUL thing I've ever heard, and it haunts me that I can't find it.

Putujući stranac Ja sam jedan jadni stranac, putnik, Dok pješačim po ovome svjetu. Pa ipak, nema te bolesti, teškog rada, ni opasnosti, U tom bjelom svjetu u koji idem ja. Tamo idem da vidim svog oca. I sve svoje voljene koji napustili su me. Samo idem preko Jordana. Samo idem kući. Znam da će se crni oblaci oko mene skupiti, Znam da moj je put težak i strm. Ali predivna polja uzdižu se preda mnom, Tamo gde božiji spas nad njima bdi.* Idem tamo da vidim svoju majku. Rekla je da će me sačekati kada stignem. Tako da samo idem preko Jordana. Samo idem kući. Samo idem preko Jordana. Samo idem kući.

Well... this is a hard one. Jack White's version, Doc Waton's version, they are amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love Johnny Cash, but... his version of Wayfaring Stranger is good, but not the best...

[@samuelleake9213]

Bill Monroe didn't write this,this is a traditional folk song' Burl Ives' released his version 14 years before Bills in 1944 but before that and believed to be the first recording was ''The original sacred harp-wayfaring stranger in 1936'' 22years before Bill monroe. as i say 'recording' the earliest time the ''Lyrics'' was written down was 1911 in a church Hymm book .The year Bill monroe was born.

I wouldn't even call this a version of Wayfaring Stranger. It's a teaser to what is a beautiful song, or would be a beautiful song if he sang more than just a tiny fraction of it. Maybe it's just too much to remember more words to the song.
