One thing most people miss in this video is that the song's original writer, Darrell Scott, is on stage playing the dobro. He's the one on the far right.

[@lulatodd2147]

Thanks for telling us that. I don’t recognize him.

[@Blueee51]

OMG I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE HIM THERE! I love Darrell too but I was so focused on Patty I didn't even notice him!

[@firedoc5]

Patty Loveless was a powerhouse in the late 80's and through the 90's, absolutely love her. Her videos of "Think About Elvis" and "That Kind of Girl" are so great. Along with women like Pam Tillis, The Judds, Reba, Deana Carter, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, and so many others, helped country music grow to a peak as a last gasp of true country music. Much of country music, especially from the Appalachians and mining country was heavily influenced by immigrants from the Celtic lands, so you'll hear that in the traditional songs.

[@KittCrescendo]

I absolutely adore Patty Loveless. That Chris chose to honor her by choosing to reach out to her to duet “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am” and this song for a fundraiser in Kentucky (where they’re both from) and brought her out of retirement and somehow revived this song is awesome. I love *that* version. Patty is related to the original coal miner’s daughter, Loretta Lynn. She’s been the much sought after duet for many for years.

[@SteelCityJW]

Didn't know they did another one. Just listened to it.... wow ❤ Thank you for drawing my attention to it.

[@jesshoward3603]

I’m related to them both.

[@JasonMignogna]

Check out pattys live version of" you never leave Harlin alive" Her vocals are amazing

[@tritchie6272]

That's my favorite version. I think her pre song explination should also help folks with no knowledge or family back ground of the coal fields understand both the song,and why she feels the song so strong to the point that it becomes hers despite her not being the writer.

[@markoehler2752]

She is incredibly under rated. She should be considered one of the most legendary women in the business.

[@markbrinson6090]

The respect and the dancing and clapping from the artists is for her. She is a legend and is loved by many.

[@l.l4456]

Patty's father died from black lung disease so this song is very personal for her, even though it was written by someone else. I adore that beautiful bluegrass sound. It is lonesome, sad & hopeful all it the same time.

[@johnwanderin3872]

I don’t come from a family that lived in coal country since I live in California but still come from hard working folk. Masons, brick layers, general store owners, carpenters, Sheriff deputy, ran farms, etc. That’s why I connect so much with a lot of country music. Some were bootleggers, not for whiskey but wine (Portuguese immigrants so they love their fermented grape juice) during Prohibition.

[@slocumb1270]

Appalachian Scots-Irish to the bone. Sends shivers up my spine.

[@sokyoutdoors588]

The original soul/blues music!!!

[@burner27]

​@@sokyoutdoors588ion kno about that. It's definitely a contributor.

[@KyOte13]

2nd… 👋 makes me proud

[@ozarklisa1199]

I grew up in the Ozarks and this song makes my guts hurt

[@silgen]

Justified! Great TV show!

[@isg01010]

The song writer (Darrell Scott) is on stage playing dobro (far right of the screen)

[@Gutslinger]

Patty Loveless is originally one of the ones who sings with Vince Gill on the original "Go Rest High on that Mountain". As well during the emotional performance of it at George Jones' memorial/funeral service.

[@jhcountry88]

My father was a bluegrass musician back in the 80's. He wasn't much on listening to the type of country music that was coming out at that time but he did love to her Patty Loveless sing. He like to hear When I call Your Name by Vince Gill. Patty did backup for him on the track. The way they harmonized together is beautiful.

[@katrinaprescott5911]

The lyrics, "the sun comes up about ten in the morning and the sun goes down about three in the day" is literally true. The hollers in Eastern Kentucky are so deep, the hills block the sun. My grandma, who recently passed away at age 100 was from there. She said when the sun went behind the mountain in the afternoon they called it "when the shade comes over" and would do outside work then because it was still light enough, but the sun wasn't beating down. She said when she moved to Ohio she kept forgetting that the "shade" wasn't going to come over in the afternoon.

[@terrycaldwell7700]

This is all true 👍 in the summer the go down at 3 or as we say the shade comes over, but in the winter time on the north side we don't get no sun for 3 months "your Grand MA was a tough woman I I can tell to live to be a 100 "😊

[@TheReeldeel15615]

Love this! Patty Loveless' voice is just like honey❤

[@cydrych]

As much as I love Chris Stapleton’s voice I wish you had reacted to Patty doing this song live on her own. I think Chris does too much on it and it takes away from the pure emotion that Patty puts into it. Here is a link to my favorite version kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-YaIp4qduneZYsi=muHAUpnfbIPqVzKK.

[@stk0308]

I can't second this enough

[@JorgeChavez-xm2ew]

Patty's voice hasn't changed a bit! She was one of my favorite female country singers back in the day. Thanks for doing this one.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

If you are interested in learning more about coal miners in Appalachia, I would highly recommend the John Sayles movie from the late 1980s "Matewan", which takes place in the coal fields of West Virginia, but the experiences with the coal companies and their strike-breaking goons are the same. Mostly filmed in and around the historic and largely abandoned railroad coal town of Thurmond, WV, using Nickle Plate Road Berkshire type steam locomotive #765 for the train on the railroad. It also features the cinematography of the late, great Haskell Wexler.

[@JasonLuxLover]

Patty Is and always will be a superstar! Her voice is amazing and unique to her! She gives me cold chills every time I listen to her sing! This is how I got hip to Chris Stapleton and became a fan of him. I love that he showed her so much respect and brought her out for this she definitely deserves her flowers. She is an ICON! ❤❤❤❤❤ I listened to her growing up and this reminds me of my Grandparents ❤

[@jwoo1800]

Patty’s version by herself is so much better than this one. Her haunting voice is part of the charm. Having Chris take part of it (while good in his own right) steals “screen time” from Patty.

[@garyseabolt]

I love this song, it's very personal to me. My dad worked in the col mines in Harlan for 16 years before he crossed the Cumberland mountain into Tennessee, but much like Patty's father, he never left Harlan alive either. He died when I was 15, from lung cancer caused by Black Lung disease from working in the mines. This song gets to me every time I hear it.

[@charliestevenson3500]

Good morning Beth, I’m writing today to recommend that you listen to a singer named Lefty Frizzell. I’m sure that you’ll find his singing style fascinating, especially when he sings “Long Black Veil”. Have fun in your musical journey.

[@KyOte13]

“Always Late with your kisses” is a vocal country master class

[@markoehler2752]

If you really want to know what Patty can do, check out her live version of this solo. It’s chill worthy.

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

Whatever you want in a singer, Patty Loveless has it in spades.

[@miragesmack007]

Watch her older version, when she was younger, it’s an epic version of this song. She was at her peak, and the instrumental play is incredible. She also briefly tells her story of how Harlan and coal mining affected affected her family.

[@patwelch8187]

10 thumbs up...Patty should never be forgotten... Her harmonies with Vince Gill are jaw-dropping...When I call Your Name is one to listen to..

[@MythicFool]

If you want to see that beautiful blend of Celtic and Appalachian/Bluegrass music, you need to check out the Transatalntic Sessions.

[@markmyers6472]

What may be of personal interest to you... during the Scotch-Irish immigration a couple of centuries ago, many settled in the Appalachia Mountains of Kentucky/Virginia/Tennessee... so when you listen to music from that region, what a lot of folks will call country/bluegrass, you will hear, or feel, the scotch/irish influence... as I have Kentucky roots, I feel it in my soul too.....

[@Gutslinger]

Though this performance is good, I like the older live version, where she's in her prime and there's two violinists playing awesome solos on the instrumental breaks.. It's flawless. She also gives an introduction to the song before the performance.

[@stk0308]

And less Chris chruching another song up

[@chriszigo410]

Nice commentary but do give credit to Darrell Scott, who wrote and sings this song from the heart

[@caroline___]

Thanks Beth! I suggest everyone watch her Austin City Limits performance of this song. It's perfect.

[@Gutslinger]

I second this.. It was flawless, and the dual fiddles are mesmerizing and don't get swallowed in the mix like it does it this live CMA performance.

[@justsomegal7921]

Just so you know, the Appalachian mountain area in the Southern US, was settled by Scottish, Irish, and Germans. You will find the traditions and accents from Europe in this area and it is reflected in the music.

[@nickjohns999]

Patty Loveless has been producing high quality content for many, many years and is no different here. I agree about Chris's tone, however, unfortunately, I couldn't make out a single word that he sang in his opening verse. This is a fatal flaw in a country song - where the story is a primary pillar of the whole experience. Very disappointing.

[@rbculpepper]

Thanks Beth. Great stuff. Tell the world about it girl!

[@gk5891]

The gentleman with the white beard you see behind Patty in some shots is Darrell Scott the songwriter.

[@jasoncothrum6030]

Absolutely love this! Thank you for reacting to this kind of music. Please do more.

[@thecasper911]

Patty and Vince Gill are by far the best female/male duo in country! They have, I believe, 11 song they have done together, and they harmonize so well!

[@KyOte13]

That mountain style of singing is just so enchanting… it’s so Real, and it grabs me… being another Scotch- Irish kid who grew up in the Appalachian foothills.

[@Nanuela15]

You are spot on with Patty’s wisdom laden voice..l,

[@kathyrais574]

I think anyone who listens can appreciate this amazing song, the song itself so haunting but if you have a ton of ancestors that settled in Ky/Tn/ you probably have people who died workin in the coal mines or who got black lung. There wasn't a lot of industry so in general you were either a coal miner, a farmer or worked at a sawmill which was also very dangerous. I lost an uncle at the sawmill & my dad starting driving a logging truck at 16. Our ancestors worked super hard to get us to where we are today & this song honors them❤

[@carolmartin4413]

What a great country singer..Patty Loveless has been a female staple in bluegrass for decades. So glad she has finally been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame...she totally deserves it. Is there a strong celtic background here? Sounds like it.

[@humpy936]

I would recommend you listen to Patty Loveless and Ralph Stanley “Pretty Polly” live at the grand Ole Opry, it is fantastic! 😊 This performance was good, but I think Patty’s live version was even better back in the day.

[@freewill1114]

I could not say it any better, this is a song that rings down through the years, and that version with Ralph Stanley will make your hair stand on end.

[@kathiestamper1865]

Yes! Love both videos you mentioned. She’s so amazing!

[@jacovichstabs841]

Love the TV show Justified, it's set in Harlan and does it justice!

[@rogerledoux4741]

I love this song. Patty's dad was a coal miner and died of black lung disease.

[@gk5891]

Chris' dad was also a Kentucky Coal Miner.

[@f150bft]

This song alway commands respect.

[@jonathanreyman7628]

This is one of many songs by Patty, Chris, Vince, and others where the soul and grit of country music still lives.

[@mikeberger5335]

His wife Morgane is also on stage with them...

[@maxinefreeman8858]

Patti is older since she did it the first time. I think she sounds great now. She and Chris also did her song , You Donna Even Know My Name. That's one of her great songs.

[@brianbrekke9500]

This was from a benefit that Chris put together called Farm Aid. Patty hadn't performed in years and had 2 weeks to rehearse.

[@wtk6069]

There's no bad version of this song available, but Darrell Scott's original is still my favorite. This one is awesome too, but the vocals are so strong it actually detracts from the focus on the story, and this is ultimately a story song.

[@davidgreer4615]

very few voices... she makes me want to weep every single time i hear her.

[@titusbc]

This is such a great performance. Love Patty

[@ddttrrb72]

Try the song Dark as a Dungeon for another coal miner song. Many people did it. You pick.

[@GorillasAndGardens]

Thank you! I’ve always felt that Patty deserved so much more recognition and acknowledgement than she received. I’m so glad Chris asked her to do this. She was always a favorite since the 80s. Patty, Tricia Yearwood, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Icons.

[@VivaLaDnDLogs]

This song is the closest thing we'll ever get to a sequel to "House of the Rising Sun".

[@greyknight05]

Very cool Version, but Patty is not reaching the high notes any more, comparing to the early Versions from her of the same song. Still beautiful tough. Could you please react to Rosanne Cash, "the walking wounded" ? Rosannes voice got even more power with her age I assume. Greetings, Bjørn😊

[@Kylie_Shealynn]

Patty most certainly IS reaching the high notes still, she sounds the same as she did 30 years ago. this was a performance on an award show and only the 2nd time she sang this as a duet so of course its gonna be a little different. find her recent performence of dont toss us away from august at the cma theater, she sounds the same if not BETTER than she did when it came out 35/36 years ago and still ACES the high notes in songs.

[@greyknight05]

@@Kylie_Shealynn Okay, I'll look it up, would be amazing😀👍🏼

[@willieboy3011]

"You Don't Even Know Who I am" by Patty Loveless is excellent.

[@AmeliaJustGotHere]

I live in Harlan County, and I love this song.

[@daventunes3822]

That lyric-less hum or moan is a classic part of Appalachian folk music.

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

I would take it as more of a wail which I assume is the 'high lonesome sound' that people refer to when they speak of Appalachian music...either way, as Beth says, it has "Celtic" written all over it...

[@kdogusna77]

You really should check out the performance of Patty Loveless, Ricky Skaggs, and Carmella Ramsey doing the old bluegrass gospel tune "Daniel Prayed," with Vince Gill playing bass.

[@bradleymcconnell470]

I love Patty Loveless, Ramey is her real name and this song is about a part of the world I’m very close to. I live about 2 hours from Harlan KY and we did make it out alive. Most of my family grew up poor coal miners. That worked most of those mines every day. 12+ hours a day. My father was one of them. He would have loved this song. I’m distantly related to her and others in the area. Idk the exacts but somewhere down the family tree.

[@billwyatt2449]

My family comes from this area of Kentucky. Two generations back. My Grandfather was a coal miner. He and Grandma always had canaries throughout the house in beautiful cages. They were the miners friends in the mines. Song has truth in it.

[@JasonLuxLover]

These instruments this beat everything is classic Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, music

[@chrishalemusic]

As a Kentuckian this song is pretty amazing whoever sings it, but that’s a couple of country royalty there.

[@douggregoryHOTMotorsports]

Eastern KY. Where all my wife's kin is from. Harlan and Harlan County might have some of the most crime lore in the Commonwealth. Situated in the shadow of Black Mountain there's a state of mind in Eastern KY of 'we take care of our own' and the attitudes when wronged are often to take care of things themselves. There's some validity to its reputation. The TV show Justified is set in this area. Remote and beautiful it's a great place to visit. Watch your Ps & Qs. Patty and Dwight Yoakum are from nearby.

I don't believe you know what you're talking about. When it comes, to Female artist voices especially ones that sing Homegrown appalachian historical music. The music marks Hometown. Historical songs that have been handed down over the generations. You're not American nor Appalachian. Your opinion differs from mine.

[@ethan_douglas6989]

Great song! I understand that a lot of people don’t really get the full message of this song, but I come from a town founded on coal and I’ve seen what happens. People put their lives into a fragile little rock and work to their death trying to provide for their families. Then one day the coal runs out and the town becomes a hollow shell of what it once was, with broken promises and dreams being all that remains. This song always has a way of taking me back.

[@jacovichstabs841]

That line about the sun coming up late and going down early is because of the mountains surrounding the area. The hollers get passed over quickly by the daylight.

Patty’s version of this song is so much better than this version. Chris ruins it in my opinion. His gritty voice takes away from the true sadness Patty puts in it.

[@gawainethefirst]

I have to wonder if the reason why the TV series justified seems so good to me. is because it is always bookended on each season by this song.

[@Cashcrop54]

That Patty has chosen not to continue full time in her career to take care of her husband while he battles health issues. These chances to see her are made even better. She hasn't lost a bit of her voice.

Isn't this a great performance?! I know Patty Loveless does this song so well, absolutely kills it in all her performances of it, but check out the version that Red Molly does. They do another beeeyoootiful version. So lovely!

Miss Beth, Patty and yourself are only 3 generations removed from one another, and if you listen closely, you can hear your own roots behind her style. Gives me the shivers.
