Sarah Jarosz - "Shankill Butchers - Broussard's Lament"

[@DG-mv6zw]

My wife drives through Shankhill on business trips every month. She heard this song and still drives through it...but much quicker! Sarah's cover is by far the best version of this song.

[@beltrofix7667]

Mate it's a housing estate 😂 if she heard the song 30 years ago it might have been an excuse to go through quicker but being honest driving through Bristol town centre is worse than driving through Belfast these days

[@LUVDATTUNE]

Sarah Jarosz is an American treasure who is certain to be around for the next 50-60 years! One of the very best of America's young musical talents. She transcends Country, Bluegrass, Americana, Alt-Country, and Jazz with equal aplomb.

[@BeaulieuTodd]

LUVDATTUNE narrowed down to a decade. Huh.

[@Jim-oe9pt]

Amen!!!

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

AMEM !

[@qk533000]

Fame is fleeting! Art is the only true path.

[@ukaszwieczorek1621]

Sounds like polish surname. Jarosz means someone who does not eat meat.

[@ghost79ish]

I discovered her last night opening for john prine! BEAUTIFUL!

[@rodrigosmithico5950]

A beautiful and chilling version of this song, amazing how Sarah's music sounds so full yet is so simple, awesome instrumental and vocal techniques makes all of her music flow so smoothly.

[@adammaddock8535]

[@schattensand]

Solid string musician, very expressive, so not outstanding voice, young, good looking, playing world music style. This music will never be mainstream, but valued by many all around the globe.

[@tibosabins]

These 3 are just awesome. I come to see their KZbin videos often. Just the very best.

[@blainedunbar9974]

Really awesome players to say the least..... Sarah's voice is strong with the power of what's missing these days in popular music.

[@LeBurnsy]

Sarah, you ooze love, soul, talent, and beauty in your music. Every song makes me tear up because it is so powerful. You make me feel

[@ruudverschuur2636]

So good this...

[@donaldbass6737]

I find myself playing this every other day at least. Day-um Sarah...do it up.

[@yurtgirls]

Creepy haunting lullaby. Love it! Great show in Corvallis, you three are amazing.

[@christopherstevenson9737]

Pure Talent. !❤️❤️❤️ Sarah J. & Co.! I was there. Best concert event ever. Troubadour is so intimate. I think the back of my head is in this video. 😀

[@jhouse770]

Just want to thank Sarah, Nathaniel and Alex again for an epic show at Randy's guitar shop last week. It felt like you came to jam in my living room!

[@TheIndyspace]

'Shankill Butchers' creeps me out, but you sure sing it sweetly...Stayed around for Broussard's Lament, and was very pleased. Thanks for sharing...Hoping to see you soon !

[@SelfReflective]

The Shankill Butchers were an Ulster loyalist gang-many of whom were members of the Ulster Volunteer Force -that was active between 1975 and 1982 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was based in the Shankill area and was responsible for the deaths of at least 23 people, most of whom were killed in sectarian attacks.

[@SelfReflective]

The gang was notorious for kidnapping, torturing and murdering random or suspected Catholic civilians; each was beaten ferociously and had their throat hacked with a butcher's knife. Some were also tortured and attacked with a hatchet. The gang also killed six Ulster Protestants over personal disputes, and two other Protestants mistaken for Catholics.

[@edmoser7577]

And Broussard is a person left stranded after the Katrina 'cane.

[@brianmcneany2904]

Careful Folks, this means something different to me than the posts below, really not everyone listening knows!

[@lingsbord4805]

divine

[@LOOPARVRO]

Great !

[@heavyexplainers]

Wicked in a good way

[@kennethhunter6444]

This song was made for Sarah.

[@michaelanderson4101]

A true prodigy!

[@angelawilliams9353]

Long journey

[@jondoe888i]

Great ensemble, killer medley! I inspected buildings after Katrina at ground zero, in MS. It was not pretty! From the shore to the railroad tracks, a half mile inland - nothing remained! It was not a pretty sight. Bush did a careless, amateur's job - he may as well have been reading 'row, row, row your goat' to school kids. But in reality, it was more than the Feds could handle. Few countries do a good job with these disasters. I can't believe Sarah wrote this at a young age! (not sure when. She was 14 when the storm hit)

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

I'm not sure if Ms. Jaroz still plays with these cats...If not she should.

[@allanbriggs807]

Her best was when she plays with "I'm With Her" - absolutely brilliant group.

[@kuuntelia10]

I love YOU

[@badtux]

In a few years, John Prine will be opening for Sarah Jarosz.

[@PaulZink]

Um, not anymore, sad to say.

[@Flametamer9]

Elvis Costello must be very proud!

[@Miskatonicvalley]

The combination of the two songs is out-of-this-world-cool. First the trio scares the crap out of the audience with the Decembrist's haunting warning about the Shankill Butchers; ever heard the original? It sounds like the guy doesn't understand his own song and has no business singing it, (sorry, Sarah owns it now). With two parts warning, one part threat, the song is deliciously frightening. The song instructs as it warns ; 'Everybody moan, everybody shake...' Sarah herself moaning, wailing and giving a creepy but sexy little shake. When the song is done long threads of sound from the cello and violin tease as they tune up, building suspense for what will become Broussard's Lament. Sarah leads the trio into her own song without pretense. Tension builds quietly, slowly. We catch our collective breath. and it's a good thing we do because we need it for the rollicking ride at full gallop that is Broussard's Lament. The combination of the two songs, so original, so wildly different, both sound 200 years old, without beginning, without end. Broussard's Lament (which I read as the Bush administration's much deserved b*tchslap for their criminally negligent 'response' to Hurricane Katrina) tells it like it is. The song rages in righteous indignation. Short and sweet, satisfies as it rails, lists the days people waited for help to arrive. The whole world waiting with them. Sarah nails it- she gives voice to our outrage. Never did three instruments, four if you count Sarah's incredible voice and singing, five, if you count the cello being plucked like a giant banjo in addition to being played with the bow, make so much music. Wow. Wow. Wow.

[@thinkerguy4]

Yes, this is much better than the original.

[@jotikaverdel1275]

Gillian welch revelator

[@garethbeare7319]

You didn't ive in Belfast during the 1970s.

[@beefraz9510]

2017 anyone?

[@darsoulr]

First it was protect the farmer signers then it was protect the people guarding them then it was nobles so more devils don't get lose

[@celticmugwump]

In my naivety I thought this song had something to do with peaky blinders but now I know what it’s really about it scares the bejesus out of me

[@lewanderson7334]

GO Smitty

[@matthewhansen6774]

That cellist looks like he's having the time of his life XD

[@paulb1912c]

Come on the Butchers

[@shaunflynn6364]

im glad to have family that helped put 20 holes in you fucking butchers

[@camille4071]

It's a cool cover. Still prefer the original though, but I guess I only heard this version once, whereas I've listened to the decemberists version a thousand times.

[@delavan9141]

after hearing this, the original is completely unlistenable. his untrained flat voice is horrible actually

[@allanbriggs807]

This is far better than the original.

[@jacmac3118]

SF/IRA also supported the Ennisikillen bombing and Irish Republicans burst into Darkley Gospel Hall and shot dead Protestant church go-ers in cold AK-47/IRA blood

[@teddyoneill3939]

Wow, I've seen it all now, someone actually justifying the Shankill butchers, by comparing their actions to some equal idiots on the other side!!!

[@jacmac3118]

Ted O'Neill Not really. All you have seen me doing is letting it be known to a wider audience that Roman Catholic Republican death squads could be Every bit as Sectarian as fuck, as their Loyalist Protestant counterparts too. But you don't like that fact as it dilutes your ideological, prejudicial IRA bubble

[@teddyoneills]

JAc Mac Stop trying to justify your comment by misrepresenting my view, and don't try and assume you have any idea where my opinion is coming from. No "Cause" is worth the loss of one life, never mind thousands! It is people likw you who have stirred, and continue to stir, the bitter cauldron of hate on both sides. I think the "Wider audience" as you put it, are not stupid, and will make their own mind up on , which one of us is part of the problem and which one is part of the solution!

[@jacmac3118]

teddyoneills How was I misrepresenting? All I did was was even up the death scores which is what the Roman Catholic IRA did too. And it wasn't people like me, it was one of your IRA comanchies that started stirring the pot, so I was merely helping the spoon blend more equally. And talk of final solutions is very Nazis like, but then again let us not forget the IRA did have a high priority alliance with the Nazis during World War 2

[@garya4907]

Shankill Butchers really existed, you could easily fall victim......

[@Wawalsh1234]

I want the boys back.

[@darsoulr]

Clearly showing its more my mother keeping her last name of her ex husband then some natural mental issues inherited I'm not an Irish Jew or Greek Egyptian Jew.... I was born in southern California

[@darsoulr]

For marry Nathan and fornicating out of we'd lock with my father my mother was a polio survivor striken with what the medical institutiom came up with an acceptable form of life to continue as... And was unfortunate to have a sociopathic son desperate to get out of becoming a terrorist or murdering thug called patriot to inspire others... In hindsight I let god down I'm a bastard afterall only so many chances for redemption there

[@darsoulr]

Either kill or end up like me

[@darsoulr]

I'm being mentally manipulated and me not doing something or mear words drove the establishment to kill my polio survivor mother.... Just to have an excuse to throw money at me.... Madness

[@tebigcheese]

i know about the people...dont think wee should be singing bout it.

[@ulfanders]

Good arguments on both sides but Sarah is well aware of the tragic history of "The Troubles" and Martin Dillon's book impugning the scoundrels.

[@fuzzy4450]

MuWAhahahahahah! Can't fake it if you're "Really Good" and U B D best! Get to Florida! AR Kids is the smartest in the whole she bang!

[@robertwilliams-wd6cp]

A haunting reminder how evil humans can be!!!

[@michaelahern9883]

Yankee trollap I'd love to tell her what she was singing about in no uncertain terms...,

[@terrywhitted2375]

Weirdest lullaby ever

[@jj356]

The shankill butchers have no place in song. Its an insult to reference such an evil part of irish history in music.

[@allanbriggs807]

Music portrays all parts of life both good and bad.

[@alexanderbutler2998]

this sucks I never once felt spooked out. terrible
