After watching I think I understand Kurts pain a little more. You captured something visceral. Very moving. Amazing Grace 🕊️

I have never heard your version, so powerful and haunting. Seemed such a earthen communication bouncing from artist to listener to artist like all holy communions.

Love this. It’s visceral. And yet the imagery is ethereal at the same time. Knit together with the plangent uplifts in your voice; the banjo totally hits the heart. I really love the last few bars of the banjo. The notes are like little cries. Utterly beautiful xx

An astounding version, equally so of the black & white video clip.

Much gratitude in sharing this with us.

Vale Kurt Cobain 🖤

This is extraordinary. It’s amazing how many facets there are to it, the mood it creates and conveys. The layering, as Jamie says, of mountain music, southern Appalachian, English, and the sound of The Velvet Underground. Inflected with those, yet totally original. It makes me think you should do more film work. You transport one through tone, mood, and a compelling presence that acts as guide (we follow you) but never becomes so knowable that the mystery subsides

This is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Warm wishes to all, as ever.

I remember where I was when Cobain died like earlier generations remember where they were when John Kennedy died. The news ripped my guts out on the highway to Asheville. His music was King. I played your rendition over and over on high volume. It makes my skin split. You can’t fake love.
