Comments by Alex MacLeod: This was a song that resonated with the entire band when Joey brought it up at practice one night. For me personally, this tune is an example of the foundational bluegrass sound that my folks introduced me to when I was little. Call it a "seed" that upon falling on fertile ground sprouted into my love and passion for this music. When we first started playing it, we were all "brought back forty or more years" and we really wanted to pay homage to the Osborne Brothers who were very influential in all of our bluegrass journeys.
