Tony Trischka - "Brown's Ferry Blues" (feat. Billy Strings)

[@lutherslaton6349]

Browns Ferry crossed the Tennessee River, connecting Limestone County on the north bank to Lawrence County on the south bank. My grandfather and his partner purchased the farm that surrounded the ferry in Limestone County in the mid-1920s and parts of the farm remained in our family until a few years ago. Alton Delmore was a tenant farmer on that farm in the late 20s. He wrote the Browns Ferry Blues later and he and his brother Rabon recorded it in 1940. TVA now operates a nuclear generating station on what was once a part of my grandfather's farm.

[@missouriboy66]

Cleveland’s solo and fills - most creative fiddler on the planet…

[@Psalm136HisMercyEnduresForever]

Imagine being such a great musician, that you can ask Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Billy Strings, and Michael Cleveland to play on your next project, and they show up.

[@als1023]

Same thoughts ,, wow. I'll be buying this one !

[@Epsilon1247]

He literally taught Bela lol

[@Psalm136HisMercyEnduresForever]

@@Epsilon1247 Yeah, when Bela introduces him as his teacher, it cracks me up. What a humble, gracious guy.

[@jmumz2028]

Imagine being good enough. To sit in that room with the Legends. Billy is taking notes 🔥

[@normamartin8755]

The "good guys" are real generous with their time and talent ❤

[@davidhopkins1786]

That, my friends, is an all-star cast of musicians.

[@bobward7260]

Dan Nicholson sent me here on the last day of my 66th year. 😅 Thanks!

[@SFLET-up9ll]

This album will win an Grammy.

[@JenHoegeman]

Don’t you mean Grammy? 😉

[@SFLET-up9ll]

Always loved this song but nobody rocks it like Billy Strings 👍👍👍👍

[@jackbarr6717]

Michael Cleveland truly is one of a kind

[@DavidSmith-ck8fl]

WHo's the Fiddle? Odd duck, but he rules.

[@sundance2421]

Well that gentleman unfortunately is unsighted!

[@ringmaster5252]

Michael Cleveland!

[@chugwaterjack4458]

The first time I heard this on the radio, without being told who was playing, I would have SWORN that was Doc Watson doing the vocals. What a great group!

[@woodymw1]

Billy sounds like the second coming of Doc, picking AND singing - it's the most remarkable thing

[@skipwileyii7343]

An absolute dream line-up, and great performances on a tune that seems as old as the Civil War food chain, yet as fresh as blooming purple iris in Tennessee.

[@ringmaster5252]

This group needs to do a tour together!

[@22metzfan]

Outstanding! Billy Strings, Michael Cleveland, and Sam Bush- great guest list!!! Edit: and I missed Bela Fleck too!! Amazing!

[@veeeforvendetta]

and T.T.

[@22metzfan]

@@veeeforvendettahe’s not the guest :) but yes!

[@amyferebee]

🎶😎🎶 oh yeah! and Mark on bass!

[@editorjuno]

..and without his beret, no less!

[@Jimmyrey6857]

Give the cameraman and production team a raised. They added the box to see everything the musicians are doing when the camera is elsewhere or zooming. Amazing!

[@judgunningmusic7064]

Credits due to the authors of this song, Alton and Rabon Delmore of the 'Delmore Brothers'. 😀

[@msnadine639]

I absolutely LOVE this song AND performance!!!! It makes me tap my toes, slap my knees and be happy!!

Tony I love when you play it straight....nobody better these days. Jack Baker p.s. Sam Bush, none better than you in my opinion. Billy you are always so so good....Jack Baker

[@healthcarethoughtleadership]

On second watching caught that Michael Cleveland is wearing a Punch Brothers shirt. That circle of musicians is absolutely ridiculous! All supporting each other. And Bela dancing around at the end... hilarious.

[@gabanjoman]

Outstanding ❤❤❤

[@sgenetti77]

The inlays on that banjo are badass!

[@jeffdavies9099]

I'm pretty sure Tony's banjo with that fancy inlay is his own signature model which he designed.They are for sale through Tony's website,out of my price range and I could never do it justice!

[@jimburns33]

Friday just got better!

[@patrickbruno4122]

Skal! I agree!!

[@Galiuros]

I hope they get S. Martin on the album. He deserves some respect also.

[@barneyboyle6933]

[@shivarave5702]

Billy strings on the guitar, Tony T and Bela Fleck picking banjo, Michael Cleveland on the fiddle, Sam Bush picking it pretty. Anyone know the bass player?

[@LynnwoodBrown]

Mark Schatz

[@barryrahmy1393]

Wait, was that tablature glimpsed in the intro?

[@elijahdonovan1994]

Looks like one of Tony's transcriptions of a home recording of Earl!

[@JochenVogel]

You should have kept the 5/4 bar in the choruses, too. (That's a joke, of course!) Apart from that, marvelous!

[@JackRogers-kk1ve]

What do you mean by this? I’m trying to learn the song but am getting caught trying to figure out the rhythm in the chorus… idk any music theory

[@JochenVogel]

@@JackRogers-kk1ve The line "Lord, lord, I got them Brownsferry Blues" is one beat longer, that's all.

[@brucekuehn4031]

Which makes this a very unusual song. The first time I heard it, I knew there was something odd going on.

[@CELIESTALGRIM]

🥰☺️

[@robertthompson5908]

Which ones Bela Fleck?

[@bigdaddy3919]

Strings is the best that i have heard. That covers some years and ground and time neighbor.

[@veeeforvendetta]

Humm T.T. playing 2 different banjo's.

[@Professorcnile1]

Here take my money 😂

[@ekMMT2024]

Ahem...and, no big deal, but also including Michael Cleveland and Sam Bush

[@jimburns33]

Bela Fleck, too!

[@mandohat]

Oh hi Bela fleck

[@seanmilam8437]

man…

[@terryfreeman1018]

Should've turned Micheal loose

[@hairnsap]

The original lyrics would have been better .imho
