Silver Dagger - Chris Thile | Live from Here

[@sttommore]

This is one of Chris's best vocal performances, to my ear. It's right in the wheelhouse of his range. THe Mandolin work is stellar, but I can't heap superlatives on it, since I feel like he's generated so many amazing solos, that I can't possibly have heard the single best one.

That is true

Stellar! The emotion he coaxes from his mandolin is sublime. 🙂

Heard this live when Chris opened with it during his Lied Center performance tonight. Enough to make you weep...

[@downriverproductions]

That mandolin sounds SO GOOD ughhhh

I remember this show! This was one of the first shows I tuned into while I was working. This was the one where Jake Gyllenhaal does a monologue from Sea Wall / A Life. Man, this was awesome to listen to and watch.

[@songpoets-ramcey]

I love the quiet and gentle approach to this classic song. Nice work, CT! Ramcey in Nashville

One of my favorite Chris covers. What a version.

Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother She's sleeping here right by my side And in her right hand a silver dagger She says that I can't be your bride "All men are false", says my mother "They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies The very next evening, they'll court another Leave you alone to pine and sigh" My daddy is a handsome devil He's got a chain five miles long And on every link a heart does dangle Of another maid he's loved and wronged Go court another tender maiden And hope that she will be your wife For I've been warned, and I've decided To sleep alone all of my life
