God bless the O’Connor family from Sacramento California, dragged me to a new riders/Grateful Dead concert back in 1976. My brother-in-law, who was supposed to be born in 1840, and just happened to be born in 1950… Taught me all those old fiddle tunes like Arkansas traveler, soldier, joy… And I am still a Bluegrass, Country, Northern California hippie music fanatic!
I love Jerry Jeff's version of this Ray Wiley Hubbard cosmic cowboy classic. However, the NRPS version is my favorite, for the simple reason of "E is for Einsteins Theory of Relativity". I have heard people say "E is for Enema, E is for Egalitarian, E is for Eggs etc,,," but this one takes the cake. Cosmic Cowboys indeed!
Over 50 years! Thats way to long my friend! Music is life and songs like that remind you to not take too seriously. Im thinking what else havent you heard in a while. Do your self a favor and look some of those up. It’ll only make you smile ☮️
I do listen to music everyday and I listen to the new riders at night when I watch t.v.i put on the closed captioning and listen to my playlist which includes seger the new riders the dead the doors the B52s van Morrison and the kinks so I am never without music also lots of Tom Petty also have Sirius XM in my vehicle so I always have music on everyday 🇺🇸🦅🌞🎶🎸🎸
Just because of this kind of music. Still my sons sons sons love the AMERICAN Country Music! Very very a lot of very much ! Long Live the Country Music!
WOW, I'm getting an education just listening to this song. I didn't know it was written by Ray Wylie Hubbard. And covered by NRPS & Jerry Jeff Walker. It was also covered by a great Colorado band by the name of String Cheese Incident, which is where I heard it first. Thanx for posting this.
BTW, Jeff Walker my have the most popular version of all covers, but this is possibly one of the most covered songs of all time, particularly live. It goes way back. Im sorry, i dont mean to make fun but i hope you didn’t think it was a string cheese song cause if you did , well thats pretty funny! Peace brotha!
@@shmoopdogg7984 Actually upon hearing it done ✅ by SCI for the first time, I thought 💭 it was. They could have written it if it wasn’t done by anybody else. They are a great 👍 band. But as it turns out to be a great 👍 cover too. Thanx for your post.
@@oreokookie1000 ...thats what i always liked about NRPS, you could tell they were enjoying themselves!!! Whether it was in front of 150,000 people at Englishtown Raceway in New Jersey or 500 people at the Stanhope House. You could tell they loved playing. AND THOSE NUDIE SUITS!!! Love love love THEM! Buddy looks the best and I always had the major hots for him.. Plus he's the premiere pedal steel player in the world. Sorry so long, just love NRPS so much. Glad I could help u with the "goat ropers need love, too" line. Been a fan since I was 13, 'bout 44 years now. Happy NRP-in, dude!
sister song to "dim-lights thick smoke!"....they bust the laidies balls in that song too!!!!...this time its the doggone Mother!!!.......san- fransiskey-ayeee
Saw Ray at 2222 Starbucks in Austin not long back. Damn, he's so cool. And I second the question: who is that 17 foot tall, beautiful black woman? What a costume, what a presence.
As a fan I gotta say that I have major respect for our very own Jerry Garcia doing the steel guitar, my asshole knows who you are!!! Aaaaaand I love you all for it!!! Peace peoples!!!@
