Billy Strings & Sierra Hull ‘Soldier’s Joy’ | Rick Grenda Facebook / Doc Watson, David Grisman, & Jack Lawrence ‘Soldier's Joy’

Speaking of Billy . . . . . oh you wanted something to compare his Led Zepp cover to?! . . .  here with super special mandolin player (and singer!) Sierra Hull. Soldier’s Joy . . .it’s about drug misuse you know!?

found here on Rick Grenda

where people were discussing what Soldier’s Joy referred to and that this version matches Doc 

Watson's version from the sixties (no argument from me!) The song tune is over 200 years old and 

has of course its roots in Scottish reels and Irish fiddle tunes, the term ‘Soldiers Joy’ eventually 

came to refer to the combination of whiskey, beer, and morphine used by Civil War soldiers.
