The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn & Take Me For Longing

The Union Station: Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglass, Dan Tyminski, Ron Block, Barry Bales

[@charlieulm]

This is one the most difficult and the most flawless live performances there has ever been. Incredibly underrated.

[@karencawthorn3173]

Absolutely!!

[@gregc2621]

Absolutely flawless.

[@JimmyReid-n3o]

Practice Practice Practice.!!

[@theresabu3000]

They are even better live than in record 😍. Without autotune. Real musicians - a dying breed.

[@thekinginyellow1744]

I wish my father was still alive to hear this.

[@kpadg314]

Anyone who has ever attempted to play any musical instrument can appreciate the world-class level of talent on this performance, including Alison on the fiddie. Jerry Douglas is simply incredible. And Dan Tyminski's ability to run up and down the scale with his voice is natural and effortless, yet special all at the same time.

[@ronaldgrimes6924]

Great comment Kpadg314.. Could not have said it better.

[@sargewhitson4264]

the best of the best. don't get no better.only if Tony was in there. you know who I mean.

[@228dlb]

This what needs to be blaring on peoples radios

[@garlandremingtoniii4679]

kpadg314 Friend you said a mouthful. You are so right.

[@danbaker3330]

kpadg314 no Ron Block mention shame.

[@petec9686]

Weapons grade musical talent. Even if you aren't a Bluegrass fan, how can you not like this?

[@TheHappyBachelor]

Exactly. Another one for nuclear grade bluegrass is Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder.

[@onines1]

Jerry Douglas for President.

[@TBrl8]

He has my vote, after what just happened.

[@joechristenson7857]

What I really Love about this, aside from the Magnificent performance of Everyone on stage, is the Fact that there are No Drums. All of the percussion is provided by the Strings. Love It. Love Everything about this performance. QUALITY HIGH CLASS Performance.

[@flatcat6676]

Simply one of the greatest bluegrass bands of all time. The talent they assembled is just astonishing. If they ever send send out another Voyager mission I believe a selection from Alisson Krauss & Union Station should be on the golden record.

[@stevenewman7194]

Best Bluegrass Band to take a stage. I've followed Allison since she was a kid.

[@ernestwingerd6436]

I get home after work and work around the homestead.when I get to listening to this music.I end up with a hangover the next morning!

[@jimvanderwood3094]

Each time I watch a Union Station performance i think to myself that this is the tightest and most nuanced band that has ever existed.

[@crawdadwatson]

One of the GREATEST bands the WORLD has ever seen

[@RobertWalker560587]

Damn its the Soggy Bittom boys

[@pearlexport32]

Such an awesome performance! This trumps the so-called "country" that abounds on the radio today.

[@ploplis]

it sucks they dont play real country in the radio. keep an eye out for some am stations we get some bluegrass here in Idaho playing on A.M.

[@tom13662]

Country today is garbage. They are trying to combine all the genres into one and it has very little to do with money...

[@carl-ok9gn]

this performance trumps nearly any other performance ever.

[@stephanieclayton372]

Love love LOVE xxx

[@Kasino80]

If you want real artistry in music be it country, rock, jazz or whatever, you have to look for it. The world is pop...bad pre-produced, focus group made pop. It sucks.

[@briscoe42]

Words really can't describe how good this is.

[@wrdlmbrt1956]

I've got one word for how good this is ... " AWESOMENESS " !!

[@kieranohara7024]

... CAUSE IT´S BLUEGRASS RATHER THAN COUNTRY ...

[@oldtimer794]

Amen!!

[@kimworsham731]

Simply beautiful!

[@tylerfoss3346]

I have the pleasure and distinct privilege of listening to this group of world class performers live at the finest musical venue near to my home town. This video is a fine recording of the excellence in music that Alison Krause, Jerry Douglas, Dan Tominski, Ron Block and Barry Bales bring to our world every day. Words don't do them justice. They are indeed awesome!

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

What gets me is as good as this video, Alison Kraus and Union Station Live is, they put this to shame when you are actually in a theatre watching them. I've seen them many times in person and I can tell you, there is NO band that's better live. NO BAND AND I MEAN EVERYONE and Ive seem many over the years, some of the greatest and they simply pale in comparison to this band when they play live. Can't wait until they decide to tour again. Alison has been doing her own thing with Robert Plant and they've made some great music but it's time for another AKUS record and tour.

[@shmizanb7026]

I would pay a lot of money to see this live today... I truly feel like I missed one of the best live concerts ever made.

[@hearsegod]

who would dare dislike this song ?

[@donnawoods9366]

This is what contruy music is supposed to be❤️

[@bengibson313]

Dan Tymynski, and Jerry Duglass are insanely talented pickers, This group is fantastic every album every song

[@danbaker3330]

please don't forget Mr. Ron block. Could front any bluegrass band anywhere anytime.

[@jimchumley6568]

ben gibson Yes they are. James Taylor introduced Jerry Douglass on the Eric Claptons Crossroads concert when he backed up JT on dobro the Jimi Hendrix on dobro. I thought that was a cool intro.

[@papa-ql3xb]

Jim Chumley - I've heard it said that if clapton is God, then JD is the Holy Ghost. I have to agree!

[@jeffscott8323]

Dont forget Ron Block.

[@iaingregory4420]

@@papa-ql3xb yeah but everyone falls asleep at least once watching clapton perform. No one sleeps when any of these lot play.

[@msvick66]

I wish I could see them. Notice how with this much talent and skill they don't have to run back and change outfits several times to keep it interesting. No special effects. Just real music.

[@beaveittoleaver2327]

This group of world class talent is absolutey unreal. Kids, PLEASE try this at home ❤

[@jasonmacdonald9629]

Beautiful of you to say! Bravo!

[@ClaudiaMcFarland97]

Alison Krauss and Union Station are the best bluegrass band that I have ever heard and Ralph Stanley is right up there with them.....Bluegrass can't be beat...

[@jamesbowen8960]

Del McCoury and his boys are magnificent. They are as good as anybody.

[@michaelmerck7576]

@@jamesbowen8960 they are good and great but I bet even they would yield the floor to Alison krauss and union station

[@ernestwingerd6436]

Yeah.Ralph Stanley& The Seldom Scene.

[@stealthbomber2127]

Rhonda Vincent and the Rage are great too.

[@tommaddox1028]

These guys are in a class by themselves

[@EastonRichmond]

It's 2024 and I'm struggling to understand how this has only 2M views....

[@stevewebb68]

I'm from the U.K and most people over here just don't get country. I grew up listening to Tanya Tucker, Glen Campbell and Tammy Wynette thanks to my mum's love of it....and THANK GOD I did! Just LOVE country, especially this kind of bluegrass picking style...proper musicians!!!!!

[@wcurren17]

Ya must be Irish

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

I have told people this for years and they don't believe it, that is, until they actually see them in person. The best live band by far, BAR NONE. They re like one unit. It's amazing just how they jell. No one else does it this well and I've seen some of everyone. And to think, that I was introduced to them by accident. a friend had two tickets and invited me to go. I'm so glad I did. That was back in 1995 and been a fan ever since.

[@clayblankenship3650]

You must not have seen Billy Strings, lol. Union Station is great, but they’re not touring anymore. Billy and his band are as tight as it gets and are pushing the boundaries of both traditional and modern bluegrass like no one else.

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

@@clayblankenship3650 actually, I have seen Billy and his band and they're wonderful as well. Must be a thing with bluegrass. Expertise at another level. All other musicians take note .

[@OttoRax]

They have a way of making 5 players sound like 10. Great harmony, great picking and Barry forgotten on bass is the glue. His timing is impeccable; a highly polished outfit, this. I had the privilege of seeing them live back around 94-95 and their sound was 100% as true and perfect as it is here.

[@brianflynn7598]

Damn Jerry's intro is Tight ! Now 46 laps around the Sun still coming back for more in 2024 ! Have had a across on miss Alison since i way a lil boy .

[@mikewnc]

You could've heard a pin drop, during Jerry's dobro intro.......probably because everyone's jaw was on the floor!! Awesome playing, from the master!

[@robertb2444]

Alison is not only a master of the fiddle, but those vocals the way she moves around that mic to get the sound and volume changes is to me perfection.

[@RayzTeeZ]

Dan has the most amzing voice. Him and Alison on stage... Melt your ears!

[@patrickhenrypdx5355]

The two of them singing together is always amazing.

[@MSNYdude]

There aren’t many live performances that can stand up to this one. Not enough words to describe the mastery occurring not only on stage but also give the sound guy a RAISE

[@moppie3]

I'm from the Netherlands, what do I know about bluegrass music?? But I feel this is having impact!! Very nice revelation for this dutchie!

[@bs27v1b]

Everything Alison Krauss does is so beautiful, it almost pushes the rest of the band to work harder. They all know it and put in that little extra.

[@josepheriksen4904]

Mr Douglas is Beyond! I don’t believe you tried in vain for the chillins’ u raised! I found the Allison krauss CD in a Starbucks n was changed forever! I appreciate ur talent!

[@brianflynn7598]

Remember when this came out , always had a crush on her . This music stands the test of time . All-star Musician's

[@meleeECI]

"Single I am and will remain. A lazy man I won't maintain" Best line I have ever heard in a song. This is one of my all-time favorite songs.

[@cedricanderson2609]

This mashup was crazy. I loose my mind when Union Station plays. Allison is incredible as well as the others.

[@TheBibleWitness]

Jerry Douglas is the man!!

[@megawega6370]

Bluegrass and Ol'Timey Music. This band is a national treasure and an absolute treasure to listen to.

[@jamesthompson6779]

Best dam dobro player in the world!

[@nickroberts3744]

Damn right. NO ONE can beat Jerry Douglas. Listen to the song "We Play Hide and Seek" off of Jerry Douglas's "Slide Rule" album. BEST dobro I have EVER heard

[@terrytaliban8020]

Amen

[@barrettsuniverse]

These artists are truly amazing. In a time where people take what other musicians create and turn it into “songs”, I look at a performance like this and I am blown away by REAL musicianship

[@boilermechanic5106]

When they start harmonizing towards the end I get goosebumps.

[@genericdude1546]

This would be a good black screen opening for a movie. The boy sneaks on a train at night and wakes up in a tunnel. When the music picks up the beautiful smokey mountains appear as his open car exits the tunnel. The boy is amazed by the beauty.

[@dlagrua]

Bluegrass taken to the highest level possible. Led by Alison, they all sing and they all play top notch . Outstanding. Absolutely great!

[@christopherbateman3138]

Amazing. It sounds like pieces that he's been saving for ages. It's one of those riffs you play for years alone; never done, but forever evolving. It feels to me the song they play is several separate songs but formed around his dobro and blended into a masterpiece of awesome.

[@jimchumley6568]

Chris Bateman Yes and Surreal!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Without a doubt some of the best musicians and vocalists that have ever lived! WOW!

[@DieselJLUx2]

First comment in 5 years. Still live this tune! This is my favorite version of it!

[@lonzocarpenter8732]

Oh how I love to hear them play this incredible piece of music. So sweet yet the song is about how harsh survival was in Appalachia long before the depression. The people who came from that time always stay fresh on my mind. Their strength built a great Nation for a time.

[@donk4926]

When I sit down to enjoy some good music (mostly Bluegrass) this is always included in my line-up. I have been listening to this and many other Union Station songs for many years'. Im not American but was born to love Bluegrass. I agree with another comment that their talent and coordination of the instruments makes it so exciting to listen to. World Class!!

[@kathychapman1742]

I DEDICATE THIS GREAT SONG TO MR.L.C.TRIVETTE .HE LOVED THIS SONG. TRUE BLUE GRASS MUSICIAN HIMSELF. FOR CHRISTMAS. R.I.P.

Dan Tyminski looks like 'Frank' from American Pickers in the clip but actually is a proper world class picker...... This jam soothes my soul..... Lap steel is so haunting.... Best from Australia!

[@dillantaylor2704]

Not a lap steel. It's a dobro

[@tammyward2932]

Folks I appreciate your love, and I too LOVE this Beautiful HEARTFELT music. But it's NOT Country music. It's, it's own genre, Bluegrass or some call it Mountain music. ABSOLUTELY Beautiful! Country music is Beautiful as well!! My people are Cherokee and Walsh/Scotch Irish from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. 💖🎶💖🎶

[@johnwise7693]

I can certainly hear the Irish in the melody and lyrical themes of these tunes.
