Absolutely wonderful cover of Statesboro Blues.
BTW, Blind Willie McTell wrote this Blues song around 1927. Early blues and hillbilly music (read: Bluegrass) were kinfolk, so I can just imagine somebody actually playing it like this way back then.
These Bluegrass covers really got me going so I checked out what's on the market...and, wow!
Had no idea. Led Zeppelin, Santana, Guns 'n' Roses, Kansas, and so many more.
Some don't work that well, but some are great. I *especially* liked the Barenaked Ladies tribute songs. Might just have to find some money to buy them!
Thanks for the info about Blind Willie McTell!
