Bud,

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna be honest and say that watching your video gave me a bit of a little freak out as you played the part a bit too well :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:. You had some serious eyes going in this one. Nice performance and thanks for the introduction of this band. Curious as to what tuning this was in. Standard???

Hi Bud,

Not one I have heard before. Sounds a bit spooky but real good at the same time. Nice performance.


Thanks for sharing

Bob

Pierre, You are such a poetic character. Really glad you enjoyed this. Made me laugh with the old Ben-hur trivia.

Chas, had me laughing out loud with your pig squeel. I tired to let it all go on this one for sure.

Buddy, I thought your guitar playing was authentic and in keeping with the actual recording. I also really like your singing on these "down home" kinda tunes. It suits your voice and style I think...probably best of all! (I keep going back to your Long Black Train performance.)

I think the harmonies on the actual recording, of this song are amazing!!
But is it just me or is this song just begging for some kind of musical break or other instrumentation?
That has nothing do with the way you played it. Afterall, that is the way the song goes...and you did great!!
But INMAO their is just too much repetition going on with that rhythm guitar figure.

I know Mr Young had a two chord masterpiece with "Cowgirl in the Sand" & Bo Diddley made a career out of playing more-or-less one chord...But don't you think this song would be WAY cooler if it had few stinging bows from a fiddle here and there; or a spooky little church organ bit or something else to give your ear a break from the sturm & drang of that guitar? That is the one thing that kept from buying this album. Sorry to be painful, Just my opinion...

Well that was certainly different, and a lot of fun.
Leave it to TG and folks like you Buddy to continue to expand my musical horizons.
I’m curious if that was in standard tuning. It doesn’t sound like it.
Yep, kinda haunting, spooky feeling to this … but I like it.

Great job Buddy, thanks for sharing!

Ken, Thanks for listening and your kind comments. This is in DADGAD tuning with some major bending of the strings as well.

Hey Buddy... nice piece of swamp (I'd have thought the Green Man would have felt right at home!).
Haunting, spooky with a hypnotic touch. I dug out the lyrics and sand some harmonies with you there.
I enjoyed that... and now I think its hog calling time....
Chris, it does seem that a ogre would feel right at home with this :-0 Thanks for the comments and for posting the link. She sure can sing those harmonies in the original can't she. sing away and the call the pigs home.
