@@benygames7399 Normally I would agree with you but frogs are actually really good at picking out and distinguishing sounds. Fun fact, frogs _never_ interrupt each other, so when you hear them constantly ribbiting back and forth to each other at night, they aren't just randomly calling out to make sound, they are quite literally _talking_ to each other. Doubtful they are talking about anything very interesting, but you cannot deny it's a complex form of communication, especially for amphibians. It stands to reason a species that understands language to some degree would also understand harmony and rhythm - the two key components of music. Especially when a lot of their calls are themselves quite harmonious and rhythmic.

Is there anyone at all in the whole of the Appalachians that is not a laid-back honey-voiced singing banjo-playing natural?

Meanwhile whats truly genuinely happening in this song is homeless trainhopping men would proposition the singer, harry mclintok while he was a train hopping child with grandious tales of lands of paradise. They were attempting to molest him, and mclintok had to prove in court he wrote the song, by bringing in an original verse he never recorded: "The punk rolled up his big blue eyes and said to the jocker, “Sandy, I’ve hiked and hiked and wandered too, But I ain’t seen any candy. I’ve hiked and hiked till my feet are sore, I’ll be God damned if I hike any more, To be buggered sore like a hobo’s whore In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"".

As an adult, the secret is... Seek understanding in peoples actions and stay humble, but always fight for your loved ones.

As a girl, my grandpa had the O Brother Where Are Thou soundtrack on a cassette tape that we’d listen to in his old Jeep Cherokee. When he’d take us up to the Catskills, he’d sing this song for us. His memory is starting to fade, but I hope he never forgets this song and the wonderful memories of those trips.

Beautiful song, beautiful vibe, beautiful environment. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, brought memory of my uncle Leonard gathering all the cousins around his old record player to play the original. He told us,"Listen to the words,aren't they nice " Never forgot the experience.❤ Peppermint trees.

I’ve so many memories of this song with my grandma and brother. When we were kids we would always listen to this on cassette in the car while we were on a road trip up to camp and going through the mountains. My grandma lived to be 88 and just passed away a few months ago. This video got recommended to me and I took it as a sign from my grandma saying hello.

Nice!! My old departed dad use to sing that to us kids back in the 60s. Brings back memories.

First time I heard this in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, I'm glad you covered this!

I keep coming back to this cover. Simple. Wholesome. And it pulls at that deep seated desire for a simple existence.

...where they hung the jerk who invented work on the big rock candy mountain. FANTASTIC RENDITION. Tnx for posting!

Lovely. The Depression hobo's lament. I arrived here in search of John Stewart's version from Mountain Stage - recorded not long before he died.

This is so great. Love the frog singing along!

my mom had a o brother how art thou cd in her old black honda ridgeline and i miss that truck so much. we listened to that cd all the time on pretty roads while driving around to different barns and on vermont backroads while visiting my grandparents. i haven’t heard this song in a few years and longer since ive heard it in my moms old truck, but for a moment while listening here, i felt like i was there again :’)) thank you

Going through alot in my life rn... this made me so nostalgic and i teared up. it makes me wanna go up into the mountains and never come back to modern life, leaving everyone i know behind to shrink as i climb.

Favorite time to play is at dusk in the spring. Can’t keep up with the peepers. Their melodies are opening to the summer that awaits them.
