Gotta love when JD breaks out the bass voice, it's so good

Jumping it to say that, yes, the mispronunciation of Missouri is intentional. No need to correct them. They know. Just let it go and enjoy. 😁

Tell me these guys should collaborate with Geoff Castellucci without telling me they should collaborate with him.

THOSE HARMONIES!!!

I just saw them live last night, what an amazing experience! The fact that their opener was Sean Dahger made it even better.

It is such a heartfelt, and beautiful song. And you did this tune honor, with this rendition. I felt the heart and soul you guys put into it. Well done lads !

Brilliant - what u do best - simple and sweet - real singing and no faff 👍🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

This is probably one of my favorite American folk songs. Thanks so much for sharing this! Long-time fan from Oregon here!

Across the wide Ms. Or Eyeeeee. All jokes aside, I'd love to hear you guys sing the Kingston Trio version of this song.

This was among my mother's favorite songs, so it will always have a special place in my heart.

This is a great cover of the song. "White Squall and "The Big Hewer" would also be great cover additions!

Never expected ya'll would adapt this song, but I'm glad you did!

Beautiful as always! Saw you guys and Sean last night and it was so much fun! Unfortunately it was super late and the line was crazy long, so I was unable to visit afterwards. Still, I'm ecstatic that TLJ has blown up like this and look forward to your next tour! Keep being awesome!

First i love this song and the feelings you evoke with your amazing harmonies. ❤️ Second I got to see you guys in chicago roughly 27 hours ago and you knocked my socks off. The energy, the fun, the shared enthuseasim made me heart happy. Your showmanship and control of the crowd were second nature to you. Thank you for an awesome expereance. Please come back when you can.

Saw you guys in NYC and Ardmore and the show was absolutely incredible, this is a great song and I’m glad to hear you guys cover it, positively adequate!

Lovely rendition of a lovely song. Greetings from Missouri!

I knew you’d do this beautifully. The last version I loved like this was Paul Robeson.

We need all these KZfaq songs on a spotify album, these are some of my favorites. Also would love to see you guys do sailors rest or three fishers by Stan Rogers

Such a treat for the end of a long day on the road! Hope y'all have safe travels for the final days of your tour

i love this song it makes Shenandoah feel like its in Ireland or Scotland, also if any one ever has the chance to got to Shenandoah DO IT, it's so beautiful.

I love that they're implementing a technique used in concert band! The lowest voices/instruments can often be lost under the others, so they are told to hold notes a little longer than others, which is what JD does

Your lovely rendition brings me back to 1982, 5th grade choir, when we'd sung this as part of an America medley. I've never forgotten that the first verse, not for 42 years.

Adequate! I loved seeing y'all at The Sinclair last week!

Would love to hear your rendition of "Red River Valley". Less shanty and more sad cowboy, but still, its a good song

Beautiful! I love the simplicity, the powerful harmonies and the emotion. Thank you so much for sharing, lads. 🥰

Beautiful! Love those harmonies!

Classic, beautifully done. And RIP Dr Leonard Van Camp for whom this was his favorite piece and performed at his funeral.

Oh, yes! I've been waiting and hoping for this song to happen. And now it will! In 88 minutes, apparently. Let's gooo!

This has been, and ALWAYS will be, one of my favorite songs they've ever done. Cheers, lads! 🍻

Saw you guys on Monday in Minnesota...SO AWESOME (and hilarious). You guys are my favorite band and incredible entertainers! I love your songs, and you do great credit to every song you sing. I've been dying to have you guys cover the Eerie Canal song (I think it's also called Low Bridge). It's perfect for you guys!

This was gorgeous! I’ve heard a few versions of “Shenandoah” and not heard some of these verses before! The harmonies were lovely and really brought out the passion of this song. Kudos!

Absolutely beautiful, October tenth!

Love that song! So excited to listen to your version!

absolutely gorgeous!

I know you probably won't see this, but please consider doing a cover of the old Scottish folk song, 'Leis An Lurrighan'. The best version to look up for reference (so far?) is by 'Scatter The Mud'. Its a song about a ship in a terrible storm. There's actually some debate about the title, which can either mean, 'With Lurrighan' or 'On the Lurrighan'. No one knows for sure if Lurrighan is the name of the captain or the ship.

Please do Antigua Gravyard next ❤

Beautiful job! So has Robbie been cleared to perform yet? Saw y’all in Asheville, NC! Wonderful night with my entire family! A forever great memory made.

I feel these harmonies in my bones!

That was stunning! Those harmonies. 😍🔥 I always feel a little bad putting suggestions on these videos. Because I dont want to take away from the actual renditions you do. However, still hoping you'll do a version of The Idiot. 😉 Or maid of Amsterdam is another great shanty I think would be amazing. Xx

Beautiful!

This was a beautiful rendition, still amazes me what you can pull off. And I would be very interested to see your take on JT machinimas new Helldivers shanty. It's a bit different, but I'd love to see how you do it.

just lovely!

Started playing fallout 76 a few days ago and now here are the lengthy johnothans singing shenandoah

I am working on booking a trip to Shendoah now

Next time you come to DC area you need to take a brief detour to the Shenandoah and tube down it (if it's spring or summer....)

Wake up matey, The Longest Johns posted

Beautiful

Thanks for singing the Missouri State Anthem! (or at least the one that should be!)

Well done, lads!

Thank you - what a lovely noise

@thelongestjohns I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO SAY THIS FOR AGES...and at the risk of sounding weird, I'm saying it. So I was introduced to you guys by stumbling upon Oak and Ash and Thorn. Immediately fell in love with it. I immediately thought of my fiance because he and his three (very bearded) brothers all play music and sing. Two play guitar. They all also adore shanty's and so-called "mountain man music." Also their last name is Oakum, so it was like, "haha wouldn't it be cool if you guys did this?" Then maybe 2 weeks later, you guys release the info about your upcoming album Smoke + Oakum. Again, I was like, "Woooooah, what are the odds of that?!" Then you guys do this particular cover. My fiance belts this song in the shower ALMOST EVERY GOD DAMN DAY. 😂 He has relatives originally from Shenandoah.

Stan Rogers- Field Behind the Plow Would be great!

This is the second song I ever sang in voice lessons

Did you just make this song even more beautiful than it is on stream? I think you did! Andy's voice is amazing in this, and the harmonies.. ah, the harmonies. Melting my heart, you are. I've noticed you've done a lot of my stream favourites in videos lately, which I very much appreciate. Does that mean you'll do Antiguan Graveyard soon too? I'd be very happy if you do. (and sad too, for reasons)

Great cover! You guys should consider doing Bully in the Alley!

Love it

Still crossing my fingers for some House Carpenter!

Also a good song

Oops, you've done it again! You take the old folk songs that I love and make then better. We can't get to one of your Canadian shows but come to Salt Spring Island, BC. It's an island of artists, musicians and hippies both retired and new. Congrats on this tour! 🍺♥

Magnifique chanson qui a fait l'objet de plusieurs adaptations pas toujours faciles à comprendre mais tellement émouvantes.

I’ve never heard it with that pronunciation of Missouri, (eee instead of a long i) but absolutely loved the harmonies.

You guys should Cover Whip Jamboree

😊

Got my Fallout sensors going off.

I love this. Amazing job as always guys. Any chance of a cover of Dark as a Dungeon or 16 Tons next?

Please consider doing your version of "Find My Love" by Fairground Attraction! I long to hear it! 😁

Have u ever felt to share some of the traditional old gospel songs ?

Y’all should do next fortunate son by Creedence Clearwater Revival

I read this as sheogarath and got excited thinking you did a skyrim song You guys should do davoh kin

So pretty! 🤗 where Iam at we kinda say it 'shan-an-doe-uh' & 'miz-er-ee' (not misery, kinda mizzz-r-ee) , but who cares? Pretty singing guys!

Please release as a single

For everyone who is here because of "mourning becomes Electra" : You are not alone.

Here again requesting more Scottish songs - maybe Silly Wizard’s The Queen of Argyle?

Can you guys upload this song to Spotify please

Is it just me, or does this have the same melody as Wild Mountain Thyme?

This is the first time I’ve Missouri pronounced with a long i at the last syllable. It’s usually pronounced as a long e and occasionally as “ruh”. Where did you guys get the long i pronounciation?

Ohhhh God!, I love it, but it’s MissourE we don’t pronounce the I guys

Why Missour-eye?

Not first

Miz-or-ee... Not Levae-Oe-SAAAHH

Except for the mispronunciation of Missouri, good rendition.

If they’re going to mispronounce the name of God’s Country, they could, at least, do it like a local! “Missourah”

As a proud Missourian AND a proud vocalist, AND a proud community collaborator on your projects before. You are NOT doing this song justice. Missouri is properly pronounced "Mizz-ooh-rah" not "ree", not "rai" but "rah". And we don't like it when people get it wrong. ESPECIALLY with this song.

Shen-en-dough-UH? Mis-si-soor-EYE?! What country are you guys from? Not America, that's for sure. At least you didn't use the awful British "I love your Nancy; she suits my fancy" lyric!

“Missour eye?” I’m from Missouri. Idk where Missour eye is 😂
