First time our guitar player had me listen to this song I about lost it thinkin about my dogs. We hired James to play out here a few months back and he did this song, love it. Great cross picking on that mandolin!
I've never been lucky enough to see James King live. He was scheduled to play in Chattanooga a few years ago--and I had a ticket--but a flat on his bus waylaid the band, and he had to skip the gig. I've followed him for years--w/Stanley and Longview. To me, he is the finest living bluegrass vocalist in the world, and this song crushes me EVERY TIME I hear it.
Great Song. When we act rashly there is usually a huge price to pay..sometimes we are lucky and we can aploggize or something....Not so in this case...
Found out my dad met JK after I had discovered who JK was....sad to see a blessed voice leave this world but happy he's continuing the song up with our Father
This song reminds me an awful lot of a short story called The Soul of Caliban. Same premise and everything. Gives me the same chills as when I first read that story.
