    The Headhunters really got shafted by radio. Same problem as the Georgia Satellites: too country for rock stations, too rock for country stations.

      Shiloh Kleinschmit I disagree. Norman Greenbaums version has always been scripurally incorrect, when Norman states" he is not a sinner," "I never sin". Headhunters corrected it accurately, stating that he is a sinner & he has sinned, but, has a friend in Jesus. And the guitar playing is phenomenal, compared to the original. Any, for what it's worth; That's what I think. Shalom

    A senior & feeling down due unpleasant side affects of a Rx correctly taking (thankfully only for 5 days & on day 4) & the original song played on the local classic rock radio station I love...I recognized the song immediately & felt my spirits start to lift. Music is great therapy & this song should be a must.

      The talent is still alive and well. Just spent a glorious week on the Southern Rock Cruise. The Headhunters were one of the featured artists traveling with us and performing all week. Great bunch of guys! One of the highlights of the entire trip! Greg, Richard, Fred, Doug.. all are fantastic people! Check out their latest live album, just released Jan 2019!

    Greg Martin was rockin the whole place with that pure badass guitar performance, I wish I could play like that, and Fred Young with sweat flying from his chops beating the drums to death, and Ricky Lee Phelps vocals were outstanding and him throwing and sprinkling holy water on everybody and taking video of the crowd was so cool, as well as his guitar encouragement of Greg and giving him the the slide to use on his guitar, and Ricky's brother Doug on his guitar was awesome, as well as his hopeful speech about farming before the performance started, and I absolutely loved drummer Fred Young's brother Richard Young telling everybody "alright people lets take it to heaven", and the the crowd absolutely loving it, and dancing and hitting balloons in the air like volleyballs, this was such an amazing and energetic performance, I wish I could have been there, I come back and watch this video often, because I love it so much, everything about it was just so cool.

    While listening to this video, I realized that the fact that Norman Greenbaum is Jewish actually adds credibility to the song. Its like the content of the song was channeled through an unbiased soul. If this song had been written by a Christian people might say that this is just another Christian rock song, however, given that it was not the song is like discovering a hidden gemstone. It might be like the difference between creating and discovering.
