She has one of the most haunting and evocative voices out there. What an amazing talent!

[@robertwilliams-wd6cp]

Sarah is one of my favorites,she rocks , and I am 70 years old .

[@maryannnowland1760]

Yes, she does rock! Right there with ya, Robert.

[@christinemohr424]

Me too! 65 here, and I am in love with all the uber talented young people, might I mention Sierra Hull, 4 time IBMA mandolinist of the year, (see "Mad World"!), Molly Tuttle, AJ Lee, Billy Strings ...

[@robertwilliams-wd6cp]

@@christinemohr424 Josh Turner guitar, also a good pick.

[@shysherm]

Same, both counts, a fave and I just turned 70

[@als3243]

Two of the best lines in any song ever: Cold gin in the back room hummin', medicating for the trouble that's comin' and You make me want to be alone. I can sure relate to both of those.

[@musicamex]

Even for you, this one really nails it . It is testimony that when well played, less is more. Very well recorded and mastered. I’ve been following you for years and you are a unique talent. Kudos, Sarah!

[@gustavmarx5001]

What a blessing is this generation of talented instrumentalists, writers, interpreters and voices: from Sarah, Aoife O'Donovan, and Laura Marling to talents like Waxahatchee, Johanna Warren, Mitski... Thanks, Gods and muses!

[@Trollificusv2]

All wonderful, and, if it's not just coincidence that it's all females, don't overlook Gillain Welch, whose songwriting contributions will live on for a good long time. (she is older, though, but great, and she sure hasn't hurt the explosion of Americana/folk/roots talent that we've seen.)

[@jsbtuxman]

Huh? Other than Sarah, what do any of those people you mention have anything to do with House of Mercy? Sarah much better with her band as I do NOT like Sarah with I'm with her.

[@allanbriggs807]

@@jsbtuxman The harmonies with "I'm With Her" are brilliant

[@ebquinn]

and, Molly Tuttle

[@ericlewis77]

Heard this for the first time on my way to work in the car on CBC radio. Absolutely had to hear more. 💘

[@nyrckr]

Sarah and Jedd both extremely talented musicians and songwriters and both blessed with amazing voices

[@tibosabins]

Just awesome. These people are some of the very best people performing today. I saw them in Maine recently and they are incredible.

[@neildesperandum6114]

Love the harmony vocs . Love it all but the harmony makes it. And that octave mandolin!

[@mattiuszep]

Stunning musician!

[@spicu3468]

I my God I love Sarah! Believe it or not I know her. We both grew up in wimberly TX. I went to St Stephen school and her mom taught there.

[@geoge2319]

Real music, real storytelling.

[@FiveFigsDigital]

It's always gorgeous sound when Sarah is on stage.

[@williamsearle543]

This has to be one of my favorite songs, and one of my favorite performers.. I love everything I have heard from Miss Jarosz ... everything. Thank You.

[@sallyweiner4180]

[@brianreiser2686]

Sweet performance. This lady's got talent.

[@danielberlanga7558]

Amazing song and performance

[@garydubose7067]

I saw her last night. She was excellent. She is using a different guitarist from this video, but they opened with this song. It was a cool concert in a small enough venue (Greenville, SC) that all seats were good. Sold out!

[@joshtimmons7332]

She kinda reminds me of Gillian Welch a little bit. Love her voice. Just discovered her on an Anais Matthews vid tonight and I just discovered Anais Matthews a few days ago. Love finding new gems of talent like this

[@anthonysalvati5868]

just discovered her as well playing background and singing for Paul Simon,love her voice, I do hear a little Gillian there(one of my all time favorites) . I'm with you , so many gems of talent but it's like mining for gold, you have to search for the nuggets among the sludge.

[@buckshotchavez]

I just seen you on CBS good morning on Saturday, wow you are awesome, keep doing what you are doing.

[@timothyhodges2001]

Saw them in Birmingham at Saturn venue last weekend. They were fantastic, of course. Sarah's voice is amazing, and her band collectively carries the soul of her songs to perfection. The show opened with Parker Millsap, who was also in top form- really a great performance. If you do get the chance to see them on tour this year, don't even hesitate.

[@user-gz8bf5gc6e]

the woman has an amazing talent

[@alisonwitt-janssen8643]

Really enjoyed her show at 2017 Merlefest. What a talented performer.

[@nicolasfrenette4535]

Great performance

[@waitcoatmn]

I'm a huge fan of this song! Nice to also see a mandocello in action.

[@editorjuno]

That's an octave mandolin, not a mandocello.

[@TheTrueKailash]

was wondering what that was

[@MrRicardobach]

Folk music theology at its very best!

[@guyfaulkes3035]

Theology? Not likely.

[@powskier]

She's good solo but the dynamic she has with that excellent bass player makes her sound awesome.

[@mattiuszep]

Who is also her husband! They married this year (2023). 🙂

[@gersongarcia752]

Excelente canta autora.

[@Manoelluthieri]

wow

[@silvinaregueira664]

In the middle of the night again Still water and the birds don't sing Cold gin in the back room humming Medicating for the trouble that's coming Walls rattle like a diesel freighter Blood races like a wave This house wasn't meant for strangers But you come knocking anyway I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Don't try to change my mind That knock gets louder all the time Don't try to wear me down You'll never get inside this house Underneath that shirt you're wearing Strained muscles and a heart of stone Double crossing like a wild chameleon You make me want to be alone I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Don't try to change my mind That knock gets louder all the time Don't try to wear me down You'll never get inside this house I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy

Every time I hear her octave mandolin, I want to get one, but they are so very expensive. Then I listen to others play the OM and I change my mind and decide not to get one.

[@directedbyelkhalil7342]

great

[@thereverendsam413]

That octave mando has such a deep tone. Big guitar body seems like a good idea.

[@froggydoodle808]

I'm curious about Jedd's harmony lines... it's not your typical straight 3rd, and it doesn't follow the melody note for note. It's really cool... who made up this harmony -- Sarah? Jedd?

[@Kiddinthewoods]

Sarah.... Mandocello. I"m a guitar player and also fiddle, mandolin, mandola. Mandocello is right in the pocket. Advice?

[@elizabethharper9208]

~ Love her sound. Does anyone know the name of the guitar player/singer? TY

[@TheIndyspace]

Elizabeth Harper , his name is Jedd Hughes. He has a co-writing credit on this tune. Sarah has also been accompanied recently by Anthony DaCosta on guitar.

[@grahamrodger372]

Delicious.

[@trigliderider]

And the Grammy goes too.........

[@michaelanderson4101]

Anyone know what tuning the guitar player is using - it looks like double drop "D".....???

[@justinfilmore]

Michael Anderson double drop d works

[@GT_Void]

What guitar is she playing? It's strung like a mandolin.

[@bradhoward4196]

It's an octave mandolin. Neat instrument!

[@GT_Void]

***** Thanks! I'll have to get one for my wife!

[@grb1184]

Well, It looks like an octave tenor guitar. Like a four string tenor with octave strings. The oct mandolin is tuned differently. Kind of a pain to play, speaking as a mando man. I think it would be like a cittern or bouzouki. The tunings are often up to the player, music or region.

[@danieleaton902]

[@randyburleson]

Brad Fletcher Brock Mandocello www.fletcherbrock.com/Mandocello.html

[@Sweetwaterrose]

Sounds like the melody of Ohio by Neil Young???

[@jlmr7667]

Sounds like double drop D.

[@lucyfoster4082]

Had same thought.

[@frankiecheung3506]

what's that the 8-string guitar-like thing Sarah was playing?

[@SecksyMan]

large mandolin

[@lukeroberts6019]

Octave mandolin

[@geoffreytucker9091]

How is Sarah's guitar strung/tuned?

[@Lwayte]

It's not a guitar. It's a mandocello, tuned like a cello (C, G, D, A, low to high), with doubled strings like a mandolin (thus 8 strings). A mandolin is tuned like a violin, a mandocello is tuned like a cello.

[@django02]

@@Lwayte It's not a mandocello. It's an octave mandolin tuned the same as a standard mandolin (G, D, A, E) but one octave lower.

[@Figurethat111]

Best complete rejection I've heard.

[@andrewrapsomanikis4796]

sounds like neil young ohio

[@tmode428]

I do like this song, but sorry Sarah I much prefer your old trio. The sound you produced with the violin and the cello was fantastic.

[@randysmith5215]

I also like that version very much. However, it could be that carrying a cello player on the road doesn't work unless Jarosz used the cello on almost every song. Getting a local cellist to rehearse and then play on one or two songs might be very hard to do.

[@stevenfranklin7156]

walking dead track right here yall

[@rogeralsop3479]

She's excellent but her songs are a bit weak.
