about

This beautiful song was written by Will L. Thompson in 1880. I first heard it performed as a haunting a capella piece recorded in an old rural church by Iowa singer and songwriter Carol Montag. My version was inspired by her performance and while I tried to gussy it up with extra parts and harmonies, I kept coming back to a simple slide guitar piece on a 9 string parlor guitar.
