That's Chris Thile, the best mandolinist in the world. Literally. He won $500,000 for being a genius in it.

Beautiful! Marcus Mumford is Always Amazing!

What's amazing here is that every solo is entirely different from what they have done before with this same song. True musicians never are satisfied.

Best display of musicianship I’ve ever seen and quite simply the best arrangement of a song I’ve ever heard. I go back with this song to around 1962 when I heard Joan Baez and then Pete Seeger do it (I was 12 and my older sister brought home records). The song goes back to the early 1900s when it was recorded by (I think) Alan Lomax of a woman (Dink) washing clothes on the banks of some river in Texas.

This is tear jerkingly beautiful.

This... is the best. Punch Brothers + Mumford.

Did you ever hear a more moving banjo solo? The musical ability displayed here is awe inspiring.

Song starts at 0:48

OMG my new favorite song

My two favourite bands. :)

Marcus is adorable.

This is great

So excited for 'Inside Llewyn Davis'. This song/album is going to be a hit

comes out on itunes in a few days

Thanks for sharing this. Such an impressive group of musicians, and my new favorite video on KZfaq. Beautiful.

This song is so beautiful!! I like this cover of it, too: Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song) - cover by Devon Graves (by Mumford & Isaac, "Inside Llewyn Davis" OST)

What on earth they say in the beggining??? and YES!!! I want these two bands play more songs together!!!!

The most recent round of the MacArthur Genius Grant. That aside, though others might be able to imitate him, it's his combination of technical skill (unrivaled), writing prowess, and ability to push the boundaries of the instrument he works with like no others playing today that make him the best in the world at the moment. Plus, he can sing :)

Pure. Real. Awesome.

great stuff :-) luv it

now this, this is music

Their talent>>>

I can't believe this has only 9,741 views....a true gem

There are no words for how YES THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN this comment is.

It's gonna win best picture

Fuck, thats a great version. Really good.

I want this version! Couldn't even find it in iTunes.

Gött!

What does marcus say that makes everyone lauhgh?!!!

Appears to be a 1929-1939 model Martin. Don't know the exact model. It's possible that it is a Martin made for Ditson Dept. stores, early 1930's era.

Bob Dylan did not write this song!!! It was first done in 1908 way before Dylan was even born

@TheMandolineer Haha.. That would be brilliant! :D

I know. :-/ It hurts the ovaries sometimes.

Yeah I don't see those dislikes either..

Bob Dylan was meant to write this song, but Marcus Mumford was meant to sing it. Completely outstanding

what is that like a pizzacotto banjo effect at 330?? if so, nice

the single does? Is it off the soundtrack? Thanks for the info!

Is this song on itunes?? I couldn't find it under "Dinks Song."

at 4:00, the steel mandolinist looks right at your camera!

Being a man, I share an equally strong attraction to Mumford as you, just not the ovary-hurting kind!

was this in shepherd's bush, london?

Anyone know what the joke was in the first minute of this video?

anybody know what guitar he marcus is playing

yeah..?

Does anyone know what type of guitar Mumford is using here? I've been looking for a guitar similar to that for ages.

It's a Bob Dylan Song from the album No Direction Home.

Also covered by Jeff Buckley...

Can anyone confirm if this was in the movie Don Jon?

what are the chords to this song and tune

wait... jk It looked steel with the light shining on it haha my bad

not the same without Oascar Iassac, but still a nice demo like rendition

sorry to be a uhhhh jerk -- but the crowd reaction at the end is weird and doesnt fit the moment or the scene or the mood
