Blows me away that they can do this in one take, no glaring mistakes, no visible mic's or amplification. No cuts. No autotune. They are seriously good - and good together.

washboard was a bit flat, could've gone again

[@raybin6873]

All these years of being a Doc Watson / Kweskin fan...I just now "discovered" this awesome song. Love it!

[@lynettekomidar2819]

think I first heard this from Dave Van Ronk

[@yuckydude]

Jerry Garcia and David Grisham do an great version. That's where I learned of it. Janice Joplin does an amazing version too I just heard on this site

[@andrzejpiegat7978]

I like this song without hesitation! And your group also!

[@richardvaughan9994]

The old guy was awesome with that little run at the end!!!!

[@andrewz4537]

Gotta love a resophonic ukelele. I've been trying to put together a Jug Band for many years, I guess not hard enough. I started with this music with Van Ronk, Kweskin, etc in the 60s and still love it and play it. Nice job.

[@OldJoeClarke]

I wish I could play bass like the super cool man does, great version of a classic song.

[@alwaysbearded1]

I was looking for a version like this one. The way I hear it in my head. The harmonies and the particular words, just great.

[@irissmusic3]

Hope to see y’all in PA. next Spring

[@PinkPants]

Brilliant

[@fortifyjoy]

by far my favourite rendition of this song. I can no longer listen to any other version.

[@mikebunn3681]

I'm with you on that - including Doc's version, which for me is borderline sacrilege!

[@jayellis2939]

give jelly roll morton and sam Collins a listen also the guitarist from Jefferson Starship....so many good versions.

[@gailcewlroberts]

I need to know. Ore about how that washboard works. Simple, effective and also comical at once.

[@robertshorthill6836]

Oh yeah, the Prince Albert can tapped on a washboard. And a resophonic ukelele. And the doctor says give us jug band music -- everything will turn out fine!!

superior! this is the second of these videos I've stumbled across. I'm going to your page now to look for more. also, I love Ms. Nicole's simple washboard. my current rig probably weighs in at 10+ lbs.

[@custerranch]

Bonus points for the Prince Albert can!

[@custerranch]

What do you call those drum sticks? They're more than brushes.

[@keithbutcher3491]

What guitar is the gentleman on the right playing. It looks like an old L-OO….Ive never seen a Gibson headstock like that. Great version guys!

[@michaelstucker6739]

Jelly roll was a Freakazoid No wait... he was a full on freak. Stevie ray touched on it. "Look at little sister"

[@kevininman2013]

Great song you guys sound awesome! Still can’t figure out the intro! Any help?

[@celty234]

[@johnglennie4282]

Are those "cool rods" that you're using?

[@rayjohnson5651]

But what about john creech??

[@robertshorthill6836]

Only think missing is the uke guy with a pork pie hat, Damn!

[@tomwinkelman3663]

what is that instrument called? Looks like a cross between an Uke and a small Dobro?

[@ackeim]

It is a resophonic ukulele. First made by National in the 20's and 30's. This one was made by Mya-Moe ukuleles.

[@tomwinkelman3663]

thank you

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Great job Aaron! Is that resonator ukulele one you built?

[@ackeim]

Yes

[@robertclark3258]

Tried to order your book but you site is AFU. I tried twice and it locked up each time -- in different ways!

[@ackeim]

Hey Robert, email us [e-mail] and we will help you out. We haven't had any other reports of the site being down.

[@FirstUsedBooks]

Sounds great. Any chance you'll get some soul when you mature?

[@vladimirlem1104]

Is this a cello ?

[@ackeim]

Nope, it's a double bass
