Sara, Sarah, Aoife, if you ladies ever read this, I just want you to know you achieved musical perfection with this.

I know I’m eight years late, but this just makes me happy to be alive at this time.

Aldous Huxley said; "After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." I hope somewhere Aldous is listening and smiling.

You know that moment when a song is so beautifully genius you can't help but tear up a bit? That's this right here.

Also, Watkins deserves way more recognition than she gets. Her voice and fiddle presence are both mesmerising.

Not since Dolly, Linda and Emmy Lou sang have I ever heard such an amazing trio of voices.

Is anyone like me and comes back to listen to this a couple of times ... every single week? For several years now.

Whoever recorded and mixed this gets a gold star. So perfectly balanced and blended. You can hear each one of their voices and instruments like a flock of birds all around you on a summer morning. Perfect.

I heard that they had to put them in different rooms in the studio, not because of sound but because if you put so much talent and perfect pitch in one room, the studio spontaneously combusts.

These girls are the embodiment of all the good things happening to bluegrass/folk music right now.

I am deeply drunk and this song spoke to me, Amen.

How strangely wonderful it is to hear music wherein every instrument speaks with its own voice, instead of being mixed into an amorphous wall of sound. Beautiful!

I saw and heard Sarah Jarosz for the very first time last night at Garrison Keillor's America the Beautiful tour in Providence, Rhode Island. I am a "folkie" from the 60's, Sang at coffee houses in Boston, Providence and Newport and this amazing young woman has reignited my love of music pure and simple! I love all the women folk singers of the 60's and most recently Allison Kraus, Ricky lee Jones, etc., but this woman's voice, songwriting and musicianship completely blew me away!!! I am buying her cd's and hope she will be appearing locally here in New England soon! Thank you Garrison Keillor. It would have been a downright shame if I died without seeing and hearing this beautiful young woman's voice!

This kind of perfection is rare in any genre so extremely well done

Beautiful harmony! Cant go wrong with a John Hiatt song. Hope more and more young artists record his songs

Fine, fine, yet sad, lyrics, but a performance from the heavens. Magnificent in every way.

This is musical magic here! It only happens once in a blue moon. Thank God we get to hear it here!

My daily routine. Load KZfaq, listen to this amazing song, sung by angels, and my day has started with a blessing. Thank you Sara, Sarah and Aoife!!

Listen to this often. It just does something to me, every time I hear it. These young ladies have such angelic voices and they blend so well together. I sincerely hope they will always make time to create and perform together. The musical world is a better place with them in it! ❤

I've watched and listened to this so many times in 2020. There is so much here. At the 2:10 mark you can see Sara J's little, shy smile as if to say, "this sounds pretty good, this is the take".

So just saw Sarah Jarosz tonight...saw Aoife in March...and Sara Watkins is in town in September. Hitting the trifecta...

Stunning vocals. Listen to the harmony at 2:41. They make it look soooo easy.

My baby's gone and I don't know why She let out this morning Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky Left me without warning Sooner than the dogs could bark And faster than the sun rose Down to the banks in an old mule car She took a flatboat across the shallow [Chorus:] Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the water's wide and deep and brown She's crossing muddy waters Tobacco standing in the fields Be rotten come November And a bitter heart will not reveal A spring that love remembers When that sweet brown girl of mine Her black eyes are ravens We broke the bread and drank the wine From a jug that she'd been saving [Chorus] Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the water's wide and deep and brown She's crossing muddy waters Baby's crying and the daylight's gone That big oak tree is groaning In rush of wind and river of song I can hear my true love moaning Crying for her baby child And crying for her husband And crying for that river's wild To take her from her loved ones [Chorus 2x] Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the water's wide and deep and brown She's crossing muddy waters

Their version of this masterpiece never gets old. Incredible talent.

I think we've just heard what angels sound like.

I see I commented four years ago, but I just listened to this again tonight, and it brought tears to my eyes. It's such a sad song! I played it for a friend of mine who is mostly a rock music, some soft rock, lover, and she said, "I didn't even know they made songs like this." She loved it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah. Such a travel song. Where we travellin' now guys?

It took me six years to find this, but oh well. I did. Extraordinary!!!!

This is classic music in the 21st century! Trio of angelic voices and prefect instrumentals!

These young ladies make me very happy. Good choice of tunes. This is one of John Hyatt's best songs

watkins voice is super sexy, jarosz is most soulful and aoife always sounds like a singing spirit or ghost, all so incredible expecially together, music is ecstacy,

I cannot get enough of this. I have watched this countless times now.

Arrangement is everything here! They knew when one would be running out of air, and where the other could pick up, and whose voice would sound best in which spot! Bravo on whoever arranged this!!

Artists become artists after listening to the music that we all love, music from artists they grew up with. And so the art is handed down from generation to generation and never dies. You just have to look for that river bank, and see it’s all flowing where it needs to go. It never dries up.

I may, or may not have just bought a Banjo. Thanks Sarah......

The musical tension between these three goddesses is so powerful, and yet, it just flows. Thanks ladies!

Somewhere, after an 'I'm With Her' set on 'Live From Here' Chris Thile cries out 'There's not a better band in the world!' He's got pretty high standards, and I think he's right. Many very good ones; none clearly better. Three exceptional people and music makers; combined, they don't add those gifts - they multiply.

My faith in New artists restored

My vote for best band of the decade! So much talent, brilliance and joy! I can't decide which I like better; the stunning harmonies or the perfect unison that you gals are able to achieve.Thank you for the relief and comfort you're bringing during this difficult time.

Angelic voice, thank you...9 years too late of course

Holy hell! I just went to heaven... and back on earth where beautiful voices and music makers fill me with joy. Thanks!

They sound wonderful. Thanks, ladies. 3 separate instruments 3 voices that sound like 1 = MUSIC!

If there is a heaven, this must be what angels sounds like when they're singing.

I love this song, it was the first song i filmed my daughter dancing to💜😋✌️

These three sound BEAUTIFUL together! I just saw them perform at The Red Wing Music festival, and their performance was amazing. I really hope they make this band official and start recording albums together!

An old friend showed me this, what feels like a life time ago. I still love it, Thanks Skinny

This is perfection. Every. Single. Note.

They completely kill this song. Beautiful

Listened to Different Drum covered by Sara Watkins. Loved it and typed in her name to see what else she had done. Came up with this and am so happy. What talent there is in the world. God, I love KZfaq . I have found so many incredible artists I would never have known. Stay safe everyone xx

Had to pinch myself to see if I was still alive as that is a heavenly performance... bar none

These three sound so perfect together that I'm sitting here listening... speechlessly stunned and amazed. Wow!

I'm not sure this will ever be surpassed as my absolute favorite song.

Thank you youtube for show me this song. Just amazing .....❤

John Hiatt, who wrote this song, is impressed, he completely approves.

This song blew my ears clean off.

I adore this performance!

Probably the most painful song I care to put myself through. I lost the woman of my dreams about a year ago, and the line "left me in my tears to drown" is especially relatable. I'm not really sure why I like this song, all I can do is cry to it, but for whatever reason, I like it, and this rendition is beautiful, capturing all the emotions of the lyrics.

So much music coming from just 3 instruments and 3 voices means the heights of musical and soul-searching accomplishment. Thank you so very much, performers, deepest meanings in this performance for me!

Three very talented young women. They did a beautiful job on this tune.

these guys need a Tiny Desk Concert.

I have listened to this song dozens of times since first discovering it a few weeks ago. To me, this is what music is all about. Amazing playing, and heavenly voices. Sheer perfection!

Three talented and majestic women.

Saw this and thought, John's song covered by the ladies Absolutely beautiful - love the fiddle, banjo compliment each other and the voices in harmony Knock this out of the park Brilliant

Chills and tears Thank you

I'll listen to this every time I cross a log, thank you.

This is amazing. I hope they do more than a 7" single and one tour. We need a full album from this group!

Memory 16 is default. Do not overwrite. As long as you remember this, life get's easy.

With all that's goin' on in the world, when I hear music like this, I know we're gonna be okay.

Just lovely! Myself I play Celtic and Irish Music, but also love beautiful Bluegrass Music like this!

This is my favorite thing on KZfaq one of my most searched songs

We need more beauty in this world. Thank you!

It's funny how folk music is semi-closely related to mainstream country (or at least 'crosses over' a lot or something)... yet the amount of like I have for mainstream country is a big zero, while I really really like folk music like this. These are some talented musicians. Bravo!

This song never fails to give me those chills

Sometimes, there are no words... just sad, sweet, beauty.

Last year, I'd never heard of Sarah Jarosz. But she was paired with someone on youtube (alison krauss?). Then, I'd never heard of aiofe o'donovan, and then I saw her paired with Sarah Jarosz on youtube. And then until yesterday, I'd never heard of Sarah Watkins, and then yesterday I saw her with Sarah Jarosz and Aiofe. I wonder who I'll learn about in the next year. Thank goodness for having access to these folks via introduction digitally on youtube, I wouldn't have known about them as soon when the large record companies wanted me to hear whatever they were pushing on pop radio.

Such superb voices, and harmonies. I'm in love X3. Thanks so much for sharing your healing gift

This trio is awesome,I can't get enough! Hats off!

Stunning version of a great John Hiatt song. Great playing.

Sarah being from Wimberley... these lyrics seem so eerie now.....The Blanco River is wide, deep and brown..... :( tears to drown...

Listened to John Hiatt's original version for 15 years... This is so refreshing.

I clicked on this video thinking it was a one-time collab. I was like, "Man, I love these ladies as solos, but they should totally become a band!" Then I realized.

Heart rending story so well told. Respect to all who have suffered from a loved one's untimely death. Still can't believe my friend is gone.

Knew these three great ladies were touring together but this is the first time I've heard them all together. I am not disappointed. What fantastic sounds they can make together!!

I can't stop playing this song. Great writer. Great performances. My favorite for the month of April!

Wow! how did I miss this for 5 months??!! See y'all at the Bowery. Big hugs from 'Roo.

Just can't get over how good these girls are together, so amazingly talented!

when angels sing, the wish they sound like this

Absolutely amazing. One of my favourite John Hiatt songs by some of my favourite singers.

Three VERY talented ladies making AWESOME music together!

Holy . . . made me cry. These artists are terrific together!

I know nothing about bluegrass, or even if this is it. All I know is that this’s great, beautiful music.

Oh man, this is gorgeous! Harmonies like yours speak to my soul. Happy sigh....

What a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.. one of many from the great John Hiatt.

I'm speechless. I am without speech.

Sounds like voices of three angels !!!

Makes all my troubles go away with a song!

These three need to do a full length album; it would be amazing. This song sends a shiver down my spine, I could listen to it over and over.

On the rare occasion I've done sessions like this where somehow everything was just perfect. The room, the players, the feel. It's a magical time that lasts forever in the memory. This had to have been one of those times for the girls.

I come here every so often to nourish my soul. ❤️❤️❤️

The future of this music is in good hands .. Absolutely stunning talents ...
