From Sissel in Concert ~ All Good Things
I especially appreciate the violin and the heavy "thumps" of the base drum at the back, and most of all the voice of Sissel, which make this my favourite rendition of Shenandoah

I can never get enough of Sissel and her beautiful and compassionate voice. I'd love to see one of her performances.

@keithgeisen Жыл бұрын

My enjoyment, is that her vocal clarity is unmatched, even in 2023.

@leecowell8165 6 ай бұрын

I agree. Been listening to her for many years now and she is in a class all by herself. Not only does she have this clarity and tremendous range its her overall tone as well. She is also SO expressive in presentation. Just an incredibly beautiful voice AND if I may add I'm certain a beautiful person from within as well. The only other female singer on this rock that comes close to her was Judith Durham (that we sadly lost last year). However they are so devoted to their respective countries that I doubt that they ever met. It is truly sad that some of us cannot live forever but these are two of those souls.

I've never heard of this performer before now; found her while searching for this song. Her clear, pearly high notes are piercingly beautiful. I have seldom heard a modern, popular singer with more purity of tone, without the airiness of pop singer sloppiness. Bravo!

Very beautiful voice and song. This song reminded me of the movie Shenandoah. Jimmy Stewart the main actor in a western movie and during American civil war. Jimmy and his family are looking for the younger son. And a tragedy happened to the family while on their way of looking and at the end of the movie. The younger son came home safe with the help of a black young friend. Very emotional movie and this Shenandoah song helped the movie more dramatic and more interesting...

Zufällig "entdeckte" ich dieses gefühlsvolle amerikanische Volkslied "Oh SHANNONDOAH" auf you tube. Gesungen wird dieses Lied von der hübschen und sympathischen norwegischen Sängerin SISSEL. ich lernte dieses Lied beim Englisch-Unterricht an der Bundeshandeslakademie iNNSBRUCK im Jahre 1966 kennen. Vorgestellt wurde uns dieses Lied vom damaligen Engisch-Professor Dr. Karl Judmaier. ich singe dieses Lied auch heute im Jahre 2019 im Alter von 69 Jahren noch gerne.

That's very appropriate, Lover, as it may have originated as a rowing shanty of the French-Indian voyageurs, canoeing down the Missouri River early in the 19th century. Incidentally, John Jacob Astor, the American fur magnate, said that he would trade any three of his rowers for one voyageur. They were men of mythic proportion. God bless your heart for your song. It's my favourite. And Shenandoah was a magnificent man. His great grand daughter, Joanne Shenandoah, is a singer living in the Onondaga or Oneida nation of the Iroquois Confederacy, or Six Nations, as the British called them.
