This is one of my favorite songs on the CD and is a perfect example of how the two genres of bluegrass and old-time can mix stylistically. The song is a traditional old-time tune with the funkiest back beat you have ever heard a banjo play. My mother (bass) and my brother(mandolin) really made this song come to life as I had envisioned it. I derived a lot of inspiration from Bruce Molsky’s version of this song. He is another fabulous old-time fiddle player. I would often play his recording just to jam along with him. During this time is when I came up with my main ideas of how I wanted to arrange the song. The result is a sound that will make you feel like you’re being chased through the woods. I find myself trying to speed when listening to it while driving. It’ll make you feel alive.
