This song is nostalgiac to me, and I feel at home when I hear it. My dad played it nonstop on his violin when I was young, and I feel like im young and carefree again.

A E A C#. You can hear it most clearly when he plucks the top 3 strings.

Calico tuning same as "Grinsby's Hornpipe" and "Picking the Devil's Eye"

Picking The Devil's Eye is an American tune but the tune for Jack of Diamonds is Scottish in origin and is known over there as Robie Donadh Gorrach.

I can't believe this doesn't have more views, but if it did would it be as special? Rebels, and outlaws is special. 😁

An excellent recording. I just saw Bruce last night at the Cedar in Minneapolis. Loved it. Pickin' the Devil's Eye is one of my favorites.

Jayson Eubanks my sentiments as well. I gave up " country/ western" music years ago. There is no soul left in this so called music these days. The old time tunes are the only ones left that interest me now. And there are still millions left to be heard.

TRUE FACT: "My shoes is all torn up my toes are sticking out / I gonna get some corn whisky I'm going up the spout". This is in fact the origin story of the Itsy Bitsy Spider's climb.

I love how he immediately notices the couple bowhairs that give up the ghost once he starts cooking in "Picking the Devil's eye" but just goes "uh oh!" and keeps on chugging. Amazingly composed and so comfortable!

Listening to those ringing double strings & the open tuning would surely suggest a Scandinavian influence to the development of Appalachian Mountain Music.

@popoaggie 7 жыл бұрын

Never thought of that. Does sound like a Hardanger fiddle.

@gutbucket260 5 жыл бұрын

The Scotts did the same thing with lower tuned drone strings to imitate bagpipes that the British banned centuries ago. You could be put to death for playing them.

@luffe2006 6 жыл бұрын

Bruce is bringing back his tune and the tradition to his ancestors . This IS the Scandinavian folk music tradition - with a little twist ;-)
