{#Lol} You really need to do your own "Misheard Lyrics" web page, Fred....

Here are the lyrics, for better or worse:

Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
ooh, American Tale
What if we march us to the grave?
Or we make reason, an act of treason?
oi aye, ah ooooh....
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
New World Scheme. Build but go slow...
(Higher life)
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
New World Scheme. Build but go slow...
(Higher life)
American Tale
One hand free, one on the rail
What if we march us to the grave?
What if we make reason, an act of treason?
Fear drags Hope back to the cave...
Oi aye...take it in! Take it Indigo!
Shout, "take it out!" Shout, "the end!" and go for
Higher Life
Take it in! Take it Indigo!
New World Scheme, build, but go slow
(Higher Life)
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shout, "take it out!" Shout, "the end!" and go for
Higher Life
Take it in! Shot of Indigo!
New World Scheme, build, but go slow
(Higher Life)

This would be a great drinking song except that we'd be swinging our glasses to each other at the end, sloshing all our brew out!

The misconception comes about because people are unable to comprehend the possibility that there can be folk music other than "celtic" (by which they mean irish)

Every country in Western Europe has its own folk tradition, related to the others one way or another.

This sort of bluegrass/folk-rock is influenced by the Scottish & English traditions, as well as of course, Irish.

English =/= Celtic

Love the bass line in this, one of the first I heard on RP and bought for what has become my "Radio Paradise favorites" playlist.

Unless one comes in contact with the power cord, which can lead to a much higher frequency jig. . .

Aw, I heard the opening riff and thought it was going to be Shady Grove.  Still pretty likeable so far, though.

Good call. I was reminded of English folk, but could be persuaded that it's Loreena McKennitt (a couple of octaves lower) jamming with DMB.

Shades of the Kingston Trio. Not that the KT is bad, it's just that I'm wanting to hear something else this morning.

Love these guys (even more so live), but have noticed most people react passoinately to them, both positively and negatively. Little in between. Odd.

Astute ovservation, at least in some context. Offshoot of DMB, no, but similar influences, yes. Like terroir in wine, the flavor (sound) bears similarities as they are all acquainted and from the same area where I happen to live (Richmond and Charlottessville, VA) Not an offshoot, just similar.
