This is a great cover. Possibly an improvement on the Dead.

Did he say the whiskey was "clean" or "green"?
Unless it was St Paddy's day, I would say he said "clean". |

I just bought this CD this week! They play this version of this song on KPIG with some regularity. Amazingly good.

Agreed. This is my favorite Dead cover and I don't really care for the Dead all that much.
Same here. Liked this on first listen, and it growing on me too. This version just 'feels right' to me. |

It's kinda like drinking an ale from Anheuser Busch. Clean and still beer, but not the bended bitter ye crave

I was wondering why he plays this. It's not a strong work. tallboy1968 wrote:Nice disclosure and endorsement from Bill that Emory Joseph is an old colleague from KPIG and a friend, so he has a soft spot in his heart for this one.
A solid 7 for a well-done rendition of a great song. |

Sentimushal? What a great word! Not necessarily for this song, though - I LOVE this song. I want to subscribe to the Businessgypsy Lexicon. Here's my contribution: When you drop a dish of sauteed shrimp on the floor, you have a crustaceous mess. |

What a gift is the ability to take common experience and immortalize it in this fashion into music and verse.

I love this take on Robert Hunter's lyrics. It more the way I always imagined they should be played.
