Dude, get with it... lol

Yeah walking is so much quicker.

How right you are... I've only found it... epic😎

It’s the fact that it takes so long to find this is what makes it so great! Like a good chuck of the world had never heard this. Amazing!

@@coreys3438 wtf does the word chuck mean... ??? Lol 😎

Absofuckinglutely!

The mandolin solo was pretty great, too!

they are all real good! and I love this version of this song.

Banjo-man killed it!

I'm a banjo player. A lot of what he was doing were using pretty standard bluegrass rolls for banjo. But assembling them into order for songs like this in a cover...he basically had to reverse engineer the song and teach himself to play it. Not easy. And all of the musicians had to do that. Using runs they are familiar with, but reassembling them in a way that adapts to how different a song like this from bluegrass. These cover and pickin' on guys are pretty much the peak of musicians. It's not at all easy, and I couldn't do it like this I don't think. Not without a LOT of work.

The stache is a complete masterpiece in itself.

His mustaches is so clean and his music is excellent you mean?

The cleanest meanest 😍 that stache is immaculate.

Your comment is excellent

@@spudroland6571 he only has 1 moustache and his voice is clean like no stutter or cracks and his moustache is excellent because it looks good and his music is excellent

chances are...they've already heard it.

I'm not his relative, but I hadn't heard it yet. It's bright out here from under that rock.

Kelly Meacham just wanted to remind of this some again. from the land down under, much love and all is right with the world still

2 years later my man. In this you are not alone...

i am literally doing that right now

Kelly Meacham weird Two Years later and it's 3:01 am!

I am slightly happy about lockdown in Britain right now, as without it, i wouldn't have listened to this masterpiece. I am listening to it for a task that i have from my school. I know that virus+lockdown is probably the worst thing that will happen this year, but i am glad it led me to listening to this.

Unless you are traveling into Deliverance, and have someone telling you that you have a purty mouth

That's an ignorant remark.

Very ignorant!

I guess, if you are ignorant of what happens to poor Ned Beatty in Deliverance. this thread is terrible, iron horse is great tho. welp, peace

douchebagnumero1 That's kind of the nature of Bluegrass music. If you want to be happy, listen to the music. If you wanna be sad listen to the lyrics.

that is the worst analogy I have ever seen on the internet.

that is the best analogy I have ever seen on the internet.

Aj Hoyt lol

There is a band called the native howl and the only way I can think of to describe them is thrash grass it is like thrash metal with blue grass instruments

More like the jazz of country.

Don’t curse.

@@larry9919 The banjo MAKES this tune work!

Well said, my friend. Well said.

Thanks we need it!!! The sun is gonna shine soon!!

Here in Appalachia we consider ourselves apart from rest of the U.S. We fly our American flag proudly, without a doubt...but our home is here in these hills. We have brogues, drawls, and anyone not from these hollers plays hell trying to understand a single word we speak. Bluegrass seems to call from within us to ancestors across the pond. Lot of us are miners. We remember the tin miners in England. Lot of us are masons. We remember the stone fields of Scotland. Bluegrass isn't American. It's Appalachian.

Well it came from Irish folk music

Kris Nelson Kentucky bluegrass has its background influence mixed from Irish, Scots, European, And African blues music. But it's a very young American genre of music from around the 1940's. Yeah, there's always been music from the immigrants that came to the mountains around here, but that's not bluegrass. Bluegrass is purely American, mixed from everything.

Im all in om bluegrass and om from sweden:-)

Check out Steve 'N Seagulls. They're from Finland and they are on par or better than any American bluegrass band you've ever heard.

A random traveler stayed at my house from the Netherlands. Said he played banjo. I invited bluegrass friends over for a jam. He could play Foggy Mountain Breakdown and a couple other songs.

so true! lol

Yeah… I hate bluegrass!!! Well… NOT so much the music but the “bluegrass musician”, if you will, due to the simple fact that my wife left me because a “bluegrass musicians” was “fingering the holy F out of her g-stringed instrument” one night, thus she NEVER returned home to me after that one night of fingered ecstasy that he provided her with!!! So, if you take away anything from my story, PLEASE just let it be, “do NOT let the lady you love around nobody that plays in a bluegrass band!!!”. Your relationship may very well suffer the same exact fate as mine!!! I still cry like a big ol’ baby every time I hear a bluegrass song!!! 😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪💯💯💯

I just made the same comment when I heard this

Bluegrass makes everything better. And you'll never hear the original version without slapping your thigh and urging them to _come on_ with the speed

Barry Crooks 🎄

I with you brother ,it's d day and I'm here too Alba Gu brath

Can't stand Scottish people bruh

I'm in America but same. Lol

I love how popular bluegrass is in scotland

Love love love this version 👍🏻 and Kate bush did a pretty good job with it as well 😁

The banjo...MAKES this tune... Anyone agree?

If you haven’t already you might want to check out Michael Cleveland’s version of Julian Lennon’s song, “Too Late for Goodbyes.” A wonderful interpretation of another pop song.

This is music gold. Check out Mike Masse and Jeff Hall's acoustic cover of this song.

You never heardJoe Cockers cover of with a little help from my friends. Never thought anyone would do a Beatles cover and it be better than the original.

i agree. their tribute to metallica... i like the bluegrass version of "wherever i may roam" better than the original. and i AM a fan of metallica.

Having listened to the original for so long and getting bored with the same 'ol same 'ol, I feel you hit the nail on the head. These versions are a breath of fresh air and I am enjoying them very much so.

I agree wholeheartedly with you both. However, I'm not entirely convinced of Iron Horse until they cover either: "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo," by Tribe Called Quest, or, "Last Episode," by Snoop Dogg and friends.

They could sway me all the way over if they can pull off a cover of MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This"

I'd like to hear them do, "Born to Run".

me either but im glad i did :)

Me either from Dion to Jimi Hendrix from Him to this and I like it !

me too.. its a great cover ...love the ol banjos

ditto !

I got here from somewhere over the 🌈

It gets better with each listen. These guys kicked some serious posterior here...!

everyone should give this band a punch in the face for butchering this song.

youre bad and should feel bad

+John Cooper---You are the true definition of a Dingus....Keep Walking Away Slick

*assholes.

I sure do!!! Those that don't should just say "I don't" Because they sure as ice didn't "butcher" anything!!

Oh how I love a good cover!

I clicked on it because I thought "no way". After hearing it, "way".

AGREE! Two thumbs up guys!!!

R Davis...Thank you!

so true... wish I was at the gig where they slipped this in mid set lol

Best version since William Shatner's!

R Davis Bill Shatner comes a close second to these boys.

Thelonious Swope this has 2mil views the actual real original only has 990k, its pretty darn disgusting...

Its all about having a title that makes people click on it

Tell youtube to recommend originals eh.

I love this comment

Actually, Redstone was powered by 75% ethanol, which is basically moonshine :P

+Povl Besser I think moonshine by nature contains quite a bit of methanol as well

Hold mah beer, while we sample some o' that rocket fuel!

you'd need a bit more moonshine... I doubt the isp would be very high

my Pa cut the tree down from which Bernie Taupin's pencil was made, and with which he wrote these here a lyrics!

And my grandpa sold him the paper he wrote it on.........

Ma Gramps sold the saw to AiB's Paw to cut the tree down for BT's pencil, and it was also pulped to make paper for SLJ's Grandpa..........

no Roquie - it stinks though.

these replies are brilliant

Even in austria we Listen to this masterpiece. Greatings from Salzburg

Sung Yul Taylor And...other music isnt real music?

+Rooster Blue I think what he means is this is music they are performing from raw talent. No computer generated over tracks. No voice altering technology. Just some talented guys playing music how they enjoy playing it. one does not need to be a bluegrass music fan to appreciate the quality with which they play.

+Chris Johnson Dead right. Real singers, real musicians!

Glad I saw this comment coming from an unexpected place. Welcome to the heart and soul of music , no computers nothing pluged in.

Me at 0:40 when the banjo smashes in......

flyonthewalls I still hit the like every time

Best of all it never gets old

And from Cork!

Kerry Evans I hope to visit Dublin one day to see where my ancestors came from.. Cheers!

you should great city

Nearly Everyone down south is connected to Ireland or Scotland! The Music Proves it.

DauntlessEagle1776 when my ancestors first emigrated here they lived in the southern states. I'm Scottish and Irish my grandmother's maiden name is McIntosh and I recently became a Covenor for Clan Mackintosh of North America. So you're correct in saying that the south consists of those Scottish and Irish roots! 😉

It's great they have a hole album full of modest mouse covers a la bluegrass of course

The Miracle of KZfaq strikes again. Just think how hard that would have been 20 years ago, small band, great recording. Now, you here one song and instantly can find all kinds of stuff. Billy strings you can go back and see him playing with pops in the living room. You should check out this David Bowie cover. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbJxaLiDtdW7fqM.html

damn straight!

haha - snap!

You are growing as a person.

Me too. 'KZfaq what the fuck is wrong with you.... oh damn wait a minute... I take it back you know me better than I do.'

Siafa Alvin you better 🐝

lol same

They covered a lot! Pickin' on series is the name :)

Was thinking the same thing! Rocket Man IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE ELTON JOHN! But, hey, this cover makes you realize just how well the song can be treated in a different genre, yet still being honest and respectful to the Elton John version.

wicked cover

@@sinclairmarcus PEE IN THE SUIT!

Surfs up nice people

Elton John's cover is pretty okay, but I like this original version the best.

definitely needs more cowbell

Damoskinos always more cow bell!

Ironically, you don't find much cowbell in country music or bluegrass.

LMAO!

Ive got a fever.... and the only cure..... is more cowbell.

I count four bluegrass covers of Avicii's "Wake Me Up", and that's just one song.

Sparkling Sundries try Steven seagulls version of thunderstruck!

Try this, A bluegrass cover of Richard Thompson's 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jL-KmdqEmsDPd58.html

Ummmmm. This was thoroughly murdered.

I believe that there is no such thing as good music or bad music, just music you either like or do not! However, I also believe that some people have no taste!

TheDankHaloRing me too love them fan forever

It's even better when you live in Kentucky

Same!!!
