Pure gold! Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band should all be in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

No twerking. No lip synching. No auto tune. Nothing but straight out talent.

No flashy lights or gimmicks, just pure talent ❤️

A lovely song - Alison Krauss has a fantastic voice and a lovely smile.

The purest, most wonderful harmony you’ll ever hear!

This is such a wonderful song! Give this comment a thumbs-up if you agree.

What kind of moron gives this a thumbs down?! Alison Krauss' fantastic singing voice backed up by an incredible band. It doesn't get any better than this. She also performed it at the 50TH anniversary of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the Ryman Auditorium. It was fabulous as well with Sam Bush in the band. I see the late Randy Scruggs is on guitar in this version.

Approximately 60 years ago I saw a nitty gritty dirt band on a sidewalk in Fairfax Virginia in front of Giant Music across the street from Jim McKay Chevrolet. Mr Bojangles had just been released and they were promoting it on AM radio. They also had a washboard and a wash tub base at that time. Truly acoustic

Oh my, there are so many musicians, singer-songwriters, out there but in relative obscurity. A bunch of those people are women who have been redefining bluegrass, and country. I don't know where to start with a list, but let me know if you are interested and I will point you in the direction of folks playing some badass songs and such. One thing, have you ever seen Sierra Hull play mandolin and sing? She was helped up into the music industry by performing with Alison Krauss when she (Sierra) was in about the 2nd grade. Alison was brought up and out into prominence in the same way; very young. Sierra Hull is all grown up now, still playing mandolin with her band, performing, and blazing new trails for women, in bluegrass and mandolin playing. Both of those fields have been male dominated for a very long time.

The next best thing to having Alison singing is Jerry Douglas playing the dobro!

28 Grammy Awards, the most in history by any female. I remember back when she cut “Steel Rails”. She was 19 years old. She’s come a long way. Truly talented.

The NGDB has all it takes to interpret a great song well: rhythm, melody, phrasing, timing and stage presence. With sticks and strings and such the band creates Beauty! One poignant song and flawless performance. I'm blessed!

When I hear songs like this, I have so much more respect for artists such as Alison Kraus and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, because unlike Taylor Swift, they have stayed true to their roots and grown within those very rich origins. Kudos to them all!!!

Listening to Alison sing this song is just what i needed to hear this morning...

What a beautiful smile and a wonderful song. Great harmonies!!

How can a simple song with 3 chords in 4/4 time be so moving? One word - talent. Great lyrics (RIP Johnny Russell). Great band with fantastic harmony vocals (NGDB). Talented musicians (Randy Scruggs, Jerry Douglas, and Alison Krauss) who use their talent to complement the song instead of outdoing each other or showing us how good or how fast they are. The best voice on the planet sings the song. No auto tune or other electronic help. No light show, no dancers, just music. And it was live..... That, my friends is talent. Many of today’s singers could not tune the instruments for to the talent on display in this video. Incredible performance.
