I recently learned this song after watching the Ken Burns epic documentary series on Country Music. My cover of this Emmylou Harris song uses Jessie Buckley’s acoustic version from the film Wild Rose

Another lovely performance Ruaridh! Nice balance between your fingerstyle playing & your vocals! Very entertaining!
Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks Todd,
I had to work hard to be able to sing this one whilst doing the finger style. The timing, in places, is trickier than it sounds to weave it all together.

Hello Eccleshall,
what a great fingerstyle technique combined with finger strumming and slaps/chucks. Also your voice fits great. I really like this cover. 
Thank you very much for share

Thanks so much for the comments, @Carreta @beejay56 @frito @CD02
It’s a good song to sing.
I’m most pleased about how I’ve managed to match the energy in the strumming to the finger style, and least pleased about my scrappy attempt at chord melody!
Cheers
Ruaridh

I’ve got another Americana song, one by Sarah Jarosz in the pipeline that I’m hoping to get down in the next couple of weeks

Oh, which one of Sarah’s songs? Please share a recording when its ready! Earlier this year I’ve learned Runaway Train from her last album but I never quite got it to performance level, I got distracted with something else, need to get back to it and finish it. Right now I’m learning a few of Jackson C Frank’s songs, which somehow I guess you might be familiar with as well
I’m putting together an arrangement of Lost Dog off the 2016(?) album Undercurrent
I found a couple of live versions of it shes done with her on banjo and Chris Thile on mandolin and am trying to get the same riffy feel with solo guitar
