Reuben’s Train ~ Clawhammer Banjo Cover

Hey Everyone! 🌿🚂

Another Thursday another video. Here is an old-time clawhammer banjo cover of Reuben’s Train in the style of Dog Watson.

Im going to the States next week (for the first time ever in this particular region) to do a live session! Stay tuned for that release 😊 I’m going to be doing an original song 🌞

Follow me on instagram or facebook at @talisetunes for updates about my upcoming country folk /old-time EP release! 🔮

"Reuben's Train" is a traditional American folk song with roots in the Appalachian region. Like many folk songs, its origins are not attributed to a specific composer. The song has been passed down through generations, and various versions exist with different lyrics and arrangements.

The lyrics often revolve around themes of love, loss, and longing. "Reuben's Train" has been performed by numerous artists in different styles, including bluegrass and folk. The song's enduring popularity lies in its simplicity, engaging melody, and the flexibility that allows musicians to put their own spin on it while keeping the essence of the traditional tune.

Lord have mercy. Your soulful voice compliments some full throttle clawhammer banjo rhythm. 'All aboard' No stoppin' this train til the end of the line. Many thanks.

Absolutely in love with this Lady's talent 😍! Clawing is Fine but her voice is the treasure! Must be Canadian 😊

The wind making the audio cut out at 1:00 and 2:38 "hear the whistle blow 100 miles" is absolutely magical – those are either some sick editing skills or mother nature is singing with you <3<3

Awesome cover
Wish I could play my Banjo like this

[bulentkirschbaum]

so cool, visuals, colors, timbre, sound, its so raw and perfect at the same time

[BoojayDeeth]

The timing of this rendition is perfect.
I genuinely checked my settings to make sure it wasn't running at 1.5x.
Those filters are really doing a great job on this one too. It looks stunning.
Always a pleasure Talise, keep it up!

I love how the banjo is played with the rhythm, lead and percussion all at once. Great work! Love it 😍

Come here to listen to this song over and over and over again. Everything fits here, this rhythmic Banjo, the incredibly great voice. Which is so diverse and deep. And even the video and the nature sounds. It's all almost a kind of orchestra. Thank you for this video and this song. With love from Germany

Rubens train is a favourite, clawhammer even better, brilliant!

[kavimontanaro]

I've loved this crazy song since I first heard it done by the Holy Modal Rounders. You nailed the mystery and menace of it. Great stuff, Talise!

…axiom of the light versus the fruit 🍎 (Francis Bacon) … love the nature ❤

This is so impressive. Your voice is special. Thank you. Instant subscriber here.

[offcrcartman]

Its cool that even though you hear the wind come in and out(noise canceling software?) your voice is always clear and cuts through it all.

[seditiouswalrus]

You absolutely know how to rock that banjo, love it!

[petterpettersson]

Spinechilling and very beautiful! thank you!

[God_of_the_Sun-nj]

How is this possible? She so pretty this is like a painting an exciting painting ❤

[BigBirch]

Keep on rollin' sister... love it. And the wind actually helps this song, by the way.... nice.

[BURGRKNG]

Solid right hand and pretty groovy playing honestly. Great singing of course

You’ve got class, Ms. Talise.

Your style reminds me a bit of the very young Bob Dylan (except female and pretty).
