Filmed in 2009 as one of the original sessions for the feature film, The Porchlight Sessions, this song was captured with Abigail Washburn on her porch during a quiet fall day in Nashville, TN. Shot simply with one camera and one microphone, this session has quiet subtleties that meditate on the gentler tones bluegrass and the open-back banjo. Abigail's performance here exists in a shortened format in a scene about the influences of old-time music within the evolution of bluegrass music.
