Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker opened The Last of Us: Part II’s PSX 2017 panel with a live rendition of classic American folk song The Wayfaring Stranger today. Both of the stars appeared to be performing in-character, and later discussion suggests that the performance will have relevance in the game.
Numerous artists have covered The Wayfaring Stranger over the years. This author recognises it from Eva Cassidy’s Songbird album, but it’s also been covered by Johnny Cash, Tim Buckley, and many more. Intriguing.
Update: Reposting with higher quality footage, and the rest of The Last of Us: Part II panel.

"im going to meet my mother"? mother...
@oryo23 Oh mother!!!!
Just watched this about an hour ago. Ashley and Troy are so talented it's ridiculous. The Last of Us has such a strong story, production and creative team anyway that I'm sure it would've been a success without them but those 2 lead the game in such a great way.
I didn't find the panel that interesting tbh (I found the woman hosting to be a bit annoying) but I'm always in awe whenever I hear Ashley or indeed Troy speak about The Last of Us. It's clear how much love they have for the franchise and it's one of the many reasons it's one of the best games of all time.
@roe Yeah I found her a bit annoying too, there was a point I thought Neil Druckmann was going to walk out cos he was getting annoyed with her. Especially when she asked Halley Gross at the prospect that if the game turns out bad then it will be publicly perceived as her fault.
