You folks do old George a great honor on this. Very, very well done! Cheers from America! God bless you all🌹

Lived in Texas 23 years. I’ve never heard this song done so pleasant and pure. What a blessing. Thank you for sharing this.

I’m from Houston,Tx and country music is in the other side of the world . Love this version

​@@lordemed1oh that's awesome! You're so smart. I bet you already knew this but most people who know this song know it because of George Strait. You're average country music fan has no clue who Terry Stafford is. The fact that you do doesn't make you cool and also doesn't mean you should be condescending to people who don't know this. It is common practice to refer to the most popular version of a song when you talk about it.

I rarely leave comments, but WOW, this rendition was OUTSTANDING! George Straight would be proud of y’all!

This is a wonderful rendition of a popular song. The uniqueness of this rendition is the Western and Eastern combination: Chinese singers of Western song, Chinese and Western instruments. It shows East and West can meet. Shout out to the young man whose guitar is almost as big as he is, but he handled it well!

I think I just found my new favourite bluegrass band. Great job guys!

I am from east of Amarillo and have heard this my entire life, and this is an excellent rendition of this classic that stays true to its rural roots with its instrumentation and tone. I love it and I would think that it would be welcome at any West Texas Rodeo or Bob Wills concert in Turkey, TX.

I live in San Antonio and was born near Amarillo. I would definately play this in my truck rolling up 87 heading home. Great cover.

I love how you incorporate the erhu.

Just fantastic. Never heard of an erhu before but she can play the hell out of it. This sounded really nice!

Just found this. What a beautiful song. This'll be getting played in my house regularly now.

Right? It really is soothing, love that description. It’s called an ErHu, literally means ‘Er’ or ‘two’ and ‘Hu’ or ‘string’ in Mandarin Chinese! I was able to visit mainland China in 2012 and got to see it played along with other instruments live in a local band on the street, it was so cool.

Magic ensemble! Congratulations!

Still can't believe the mellow but bright sound you all managed to create here. It's beautiful! Well done, and well played!

It was a pleasant surprise when I discovered your Bluegrass rendition of "Amarillo By Morning". I've listened to it probably more than a hundred times. Ms. Jing's performance on the Erhu is very good, performing on a traditional Chinese instrument blends in nicely with the overall performance. I love your Banjo picking too. It sounds awesome & inspiring. I lived in Amarillo, TX for five years & "Amarillo By Morning" is their adopted theme song for the city. I've always liked that song & listening to your Bluegrass performance just adds to the my love for that tune. Thanks so much. Hopefully your group will continue performing country & traditional Bluegrass music in the near future.

the world is exploding with evil and corruption, and then this appears. It give me hope. As long as we have young people like this that bring joy to others and ask for nothing in return, there is hope.

Wow! And bamboo in the background. This is just unreal. They have such a beautiful sound! That fiddle is too awesome!

I have loved that song since the 1980s and I'm just learning five string banjo. This was amazing. I had to watch it a few times to appreciate everyone because I kept watching what you were doing on the banjo, Eric. 😊

I have watched this 20 times since it came across my feed. No one can touch it. Even the pros.

Now that's a different version of a classic country song.......The sound from that box Fiddle is magical it reminds me of Peruvian Flutes.......

AWESOME! Come to east Tennessee to pick. There's multiple weekly jams on various nights in the Knoxville area. And all are welcome. People would love to see y'all there. There's buttermilk road outside Knoxville, Rocky Branch in Townsend and several other spots in Sevier County.

This might be one of the most American things that I've ever seen. Different people sharing and honoring each others culture through music.

Brillant again, it adds so much more to bluegrass with these talented Chinese musicians. Hard to beat!

A most meaningful gift to us Texans.

Please accept my praise from an old Montana cowboy, that has listened to classic ballad over one hundred times.. absolutely beautiful. Music...the universal language for all mankind.

Hats off to five talented musicians! A great sound…true and pure. I particularly liked the camera attention to each as they played. Very competent and focused. Where a violin or fiddle is played in other covers, the erhu really evokes the emotion…clear, haunting at times. Thank you for posting this. I’ve listened to it 5 times since finding it an hour ago.

Great playing and singing. Also, what a beautiful place to be record your music.

Love great music. Thanks

The Asian bluegrass band was unexpected. Very cool!

Freakin' awesome! Fantastic job with a George Strait standard! ( I am from Central Texas, near Austin.)
