@@raceharrison6738 If you ever share them, I would love to hear the legendary Sis play (from an aspiring fiddler and unofficial 'arkansas traveler' who loves this song) :)

This man is the real deal 100%. He sounds like he’s singing when he talks his voice is so perfect for country.

Shawn has got it all! WOW! Singer, songwriter & looks! Why the heck ain't he famous? Love him!

I fell head over heels in love with Magnolia Wind yesterday.... And now I'm down a magical rabbit hole 😍

Me too! I have know "Magnolia Wind" for ages, but never knew until today that Shawn had a part in writing it with Guy Clark. He is a wonderful find and like someone else said why the heck ain't he famous???

Now THAT'S some talent!

I was wondering how he was gonna play this fiddle tune without a fiddle but I gotta admit he sure pulled it off. Shawn is a very talented musician, of that there is no doubt. Everyone who already hasn't should check out his tribute to Flatt and Scruggs band, Earls of Leicester, that was put together by the great Jerry Douglas. Bluegrass done the old, and in my opinion, best way!

Finally found it well worth the search....brillant... Greetings from IRELAND 😉 salamat for this gem. ..

I’ve been privileged to see this guy in the UK tonight as he is touring with The Transatlantic Sessions. A tremendous talent I hadn’t heard of! This song is great 👍🏻

Sis Draper was my grandma. My dad love this song. I wish he could have met Shawn before he passed. ❤

He’s incredible! And that girl on his left is also tremendous!

Kick your shoes off in the corner mama Tuck them babies all up snug Sis Draper's comin' over We all gonna cut a rug When you see that lantern swingin' yonder Comin' up the Holler Road Them dogs'll get to barkin' Ought to tie 'em all up with a rope Now you boys better get in tune Sis Draper's gonna be here soon Don't shoot no dice nor get too tight If you're gonna pick with Sis tonight Now she came down from the Boston mountains There was lightnin' in the air Honey on them fiddle strings Magnolia in her hair Now she's a diamond in the rough If you can't see the shine that's tough Play all night for the likes of us Sis Draper's got the touch She'll play all night if she feels like it Have some fruit punch if you spike it Sis don't care who don't like it See, ol' Sis has got a Hell of a bow arm on her Well she stepped up and sawed one off And uncle Cleve dropped his jaw Said she's the best I ever saw She must be from Arkansas I think Grandpa used to date her Grandma says she still hates her All the fellas stand up straighter In the presence of Sis Draper Sis Draper is the devil's daughter Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her Plays it like her mama taught her She's a travelin' Arkansawyer Well she put her fiddle in a box Said it's getting awful late She's on her way to Little Rock And Little Rock can't wait So we all stood out in the yard Hands all full of watermelon Watcher her leave, watched her go Wishin' we was in that wagon Sis Draper is the devil's daughter Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her Played it like her mama taught her She's a travelin' Arkansawyer

Guthrie Trapp brought me here. Cheers man!

I first heard Ricky Skaggs version of this song and I was initially impressed with this young man's skill in making his guitar sound like a fiddle but he lost me when he called Sis Draper the 'devil's daughter'. Sorry, like Ricky's line better, "Sis Draper is her Daddy's daughter..."

Shawn sings it the way it was written. Ricky is too religious to sing it the original way. He notoriously also changed a line in 40 Highway Blues that originally mentioned having a beer. I suppose he deserves to be respected for his beliefs but he takes it a bit far in my opinion.

Shawn wrote the song with Guy Clark. That is his lyric. Got to stay true to the original.

@deborahboykin4031

He also changed another Guy Clark line in "Heartbroke." The original is "Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely." The Skaggs version is "Crying when you're rich . . ." which makes absolutely no sense to me.

Faust? Robert Johnson? Devil at the crossroads? Striking that deal to play the fiddle/guitar (or do whatever else) the best anyone ever has in exchange for your soul? Familiar with these stories or ideas at all? And the song references a jealous grandmother, jealous because grandpa used to date Sis. “Sis Draper is the devil’s daughter” is something grandma might say disparagingly, and an envious country picker might say admiringly. It’s tongue-in-cheek. Folklore. Mythology. You know, the stuff of legend and fairy tale. Relax. It’s just a song, but a brilliant song just the way it is. The way Guy and Shawn wrote it!

He s a great artist. Hate that he felt compelled to tell his implicitly racist story about Memphis. White blindness more than racism I imagine and hope.

I believe he was talking more about the Memphis music scene. i.e. stay country and dont go playing rock and roll. Sun records?
