Jason Isbell's "Live Oak" Cover w/ Stick Dulcimer Guitars

by Missy Smith

Jason Isbell wrote "Live Oak" for the Southeastern record, and probably never envisioned these rock guitars and odd vocal harmonies. Nor my crazy eyes at 2:39. Reimagining this song with a grittier feel was a lot of fun. Also, sorry Jason, but I had to modify the lyrics at the end. It needed to be sadder. 

Dave Rahman (St. Pete, FL) and Ryan Pryor (Nashville, TN) have been recording songs remotely together since late 2018. "Live Oak" is the 4th project, and first music video, in their explorations.

 

If you have (or want) a stick dulcimer guitar, and want to learn to play this song, we have a great video teaching you how:
