Normally it is difficult to listen to covers of Classics, because the original is usually such perfection (that's why it has achieved legendary classic status in the first place) that any subsequent version is alway compared to the unreachable "High bar" set by the initial release. However, the Grascals version is excellent in its own right. It might even have been a hit, in the absence of the original. This version is very similar to the version subsequently recorded on Blue Highways TV by one of Rodney's later versions of the Dillards, which included Steve Cooley on banjo. That version is also posted here on YT. Excellent job to the Grascals for their version.
Great bluegrass sound. My thought is that Jamie and Terry are pickin Tanglewood guitars. Their headstocks are a little different than mine. Am I correct re: "T" ? Thanks for sharin wonderful bluegrass.
@@malagutigene Yes, but he didn't change the strings, they're upside down (fat bass strings on the bottome and thinner strings on top). Like if you grab a right handed person's guitar and flipped it to the left handed position without doing anything to it.
@Andy Jones No he didn't. He flipped his guitar, as many lefties do, but he strung it as you normally string a guitar: www.quora.com/Did-Jimi-Hendrix-play-upside-down
The singer is Terry Eldridge. I love his voice. To me, it has the traditional high lonesome sound that is a trademark of bluegrass. I used to see him at Station Inn in Nashville when he was with Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time.
adamaj Good eye! Some people aren't just lefties, they invert the whole guitar! I believe Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix both played that way but I could be wrong about that.
But here's the kicker. That's Jamie Johnson and he doesn't always play like that. Sometimes he strings the guitar backwards so he can strum in the traditional fashion.
Who's still watching and enjoying this? Love the clean Banjo sound.
2021! This song is like a broken drum. You just can't beat it!
Absolutely wonderful tribute to the old "Andy Griffith Shows and the Darling Family!" I loved hearing it.
Wish they would have played “Never hit your grandma with a great big stick” instead.
That one makes me cry.
Bluegrass is something that isn't, in my opinion, not heard much or practiced nowadays. I love this sound so much,.
What rock have you been living under dude ?? Bluegrass is alive and kicking ass !
This group plays the best bluegrass music you will find today.
Love your version I just love them old bluegrass songs
SHe is a multiple IBMA Banjo player of the year!
Saw these guys a few years ago at the blueberry bluegrass Festival, Stoney Plain Alberta Canada. Super show.
The original version on The Andy Griffith show stated, "molasses by the DRUM", sort of makes more sense.
Awesome cover of that great song. Classic Andy episode
Hi my name is Lori and I'm a big fan of the grascals especially the banjo player!! I love the song, love you guys keep it up ❤😊

Great cover of a wonderful Dillards tune.

She Does Great For Playing Banjo, Very Rare You See A Beautiful Lady Play Like That.

Well fight it Charlene
😆
I love this song

Terrific.
Yup. World class. Wish it were as easy as she makes it look.
Hey, you got your guitar upside-down !
Harlan May hes left handed thats why its up side down!!!

@@adamaj74 - Would have to change the bridge, saddle and nut for real LH use or intonation is not right.
Hi
from punta cana
Great time's
Why is his guitar upside down
Everything else is great, but that guy's voice drives me up a wall

Too nasally for me.
South Carolina girl pickin that banjo
Votteper you are loved by me, now you are praised by me!)))
A one and a to and a way we go
Terry, you need to be the lead singer now with Jamie gone. Step up.
That's an interesting way to do left-handed.
Hope that wasn't an encore
Who's the Female Banjo picker ? ?
Kristin scott
The banjo should shut down bêtement de refrains....
The old Dillards number.
Wait, that one dude is playing his guitar upside down...what? Not just the guitar, the strings are upside down too.

Dick Dale the surf guitarist was a lefty and taught himself how to play on a right handed guitar so he played it the same way !
I've got this beat.
I accidently unliked this a few days ago. I apologize. I like the Grascals very well, both the music and the musicians.
Playin' too slow.
You get the words better this way, rather than the Dillard blubbering...
Put it on 1.25x speed. Sounds much more like the one in Andy Griffith
andy
Terry eldrege is the funniest person I know after my papaw
Great group but the guy singing lead is the worst.
Sorry, not so good....
