Runaway Planet - Wayfaring Stranger

This is Wayfaring Stranger, performed by Little Rock's own Runaway Planet. The video is a compilation of pieces of 1940's Appalachian documentaries stitched together by Fans of Runaway Planet (who happen to be members of the Latchkey Society) interested in doing something for the band, as well as for a private event. We hope you enjoy it!

I love this version. It's the best by far. I keep coming back to it through the years. Thank you, Runaway Planet! And the video is excellent. They were very fine people. In World War II, over seventy percent of Medal of Honor recipients were from small towns in the South - men just like the ones in the video. They weren't rich investment managers or lawyers and they didn't have BMWs or big suburban houses with swimming pools, but they had character, integrity and courage.

I love this song. It was sung at my funeral.

When an 80 years old music video feels as modern as today's you know you're listening to classic.

Quite a hidden gem I’ve found here. There’s a saying that the hardest treasures to get are the ones that ya keep with ya till the end. I’d say that’s its fit this song rather nicely.

[@kathrynthomas2928]

Well said.

[@theshovster8505]

You really got me going on this I have played and sang this song many years but this is probably the best I've ever heard it I do miss to last verse where I'm going home to see my savior I'm going home no more to Roam

[@daviddanforth6786]

The best version of this song I've heard.... and I've heard all of them...

[@luciomeyer2536]

This is a great version, but you did not listen to all out there. 100% not ;P

[@jeremyt419]

I have to die to go home to see all of them. Only a few short yrs to go. Been long enough

[@paigemacbeth3947]

This is just an incredibly done song! I LOVE it!! So many people have covered Wayfaring Stranger-Johnny Cash, Ed Sheeran, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, etc...

[@PennPearson]

Brilliant version! Thank you so much!

[@numantoday2321]

The Little Rock, Arkansas group, "Runaway Planet", reminds us with their video how much we take for granted our sovereignty, allegiance and love of our country and culture that our forefathers struggled to give us...

[@aniksamiurrahman6365]

Personally, I'm just happy to get back my family and the people I love.

[@bradmckenzie1361]

Thought I was hearing Adam Steffy first time I heard this. Nothing wrong with that. And that slow rolling banjo is just real sweet.
