Wayfaring Stranger is a song that I wanted to learn for a long time.
I searched on Spotify and listened to many different versions to get additional inspiration for my own arrangement. I liked the cover by Johnny Cash on his album “Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man” the best and adopted some of the violin intro and solo.

Thank you all for giving it a listen and for your nice feedback.
I got to know this song from a movie called “The Broken Circle Breakdown” about a Bluegrass band. The clip is on Youtube (The Broken Circle Breakdown - Wayfaring Stranger - YouTube ). It contains some great dobro slide playing.
In a more recent movie “1917” (now on Netflix) , there is a pure vocal version of the song too.

Nicely played and sounds like that would have taken some time to get to that level. I like th running bass and melody line.
