We met these guys in Winfield Kansas in 1973 and invited them to headline our fledgling Telluride Bluegrass Festival, a game changer, and now Sam Bush has played on our stage for 50 years. Magic. Bravo the Fall Creek Band who did the trick. RIP Freddie.
4 of the best that ever played music in the bluegrass class of music. They took it to a whole new level that others will be trying to get to for years to come.
was on a ski trip to Lake Tahoe when these guys were first starting out and they were playing in the lounge of one of the casinos. Sat there in amazement every night and listened to them. Incredible muscians. Wish they were still together.
When this song was released Heavy Metal bands started contacting John Cowan about singing lead because his voice was so powerful. His heart is in Bluegrass. His talent could take him anywhere he wanted to go.
Always something my ex wife said about this song that is perfectly true. It is like 4 minutr prozac be cause it"s almost impossible to be depressed when you'red listening to this.
John & I did a movie shoot (Heart of Dixie) back in '87. It was set in the 50's and we were a party band. The hair and makeup people had a time pinning our mullets up and greasing our hair to look right for the time. Not a great movie, but we had fun.
@@katherinetoon2917 *pitterpatter* Personally, I love his long hair! Mullet would be ok, just a little too much hairspray!! Bring it own. And that voice... That voice...
I'm not into bluegrass so much but these guys really rock. The Dixie Chicks are great too. Both bands helped pull fans of other genre's to bluegrass/country combo like no other bands have.
Amazing. These guys are awesome. Too bad they didn't stay together. So progressive for their time. The Cowen, Fleck, Flynn, & Bush iteration were the best NGR of all.
@vidfreak32 I love this, and have since it was released - there are plenty of talented people making every genre of music. On top of that, I see & hear a LOT more integrity in metal these days than in country. Three words "Red Solo Cup."
