    is someone stamping their foot to give the sound of a kick-ass kick drum, or are these guys just too awesome. I can't stop listening to this!

    This ensemble version of this group is stupendous, but it should be noted that there is an insane amount of musical talent with these folks. They are all multi-instrumental and all sing with fine country voices. I have seen all four of them plying the violin together at the same time, the mandolin player playing the banjo and guitar, the fiddler playing the banjo and guitar, the bass player playing the fiddle and the rhythm guitarist playing the fiddle. I feel that Reeb, which is beer spelled backwards (father's influence???) is the least respected, but she puts down a very solid rhythm base to the groups music. They are just a so fine a group!!!

      Golden Slippers
      chorus:
      Oh, them golden slippers
      Oh, them golden slippers
      Golden slippers I'm goin' to wear
      Because they look so neat
      Oh, them golden slippers
      Oh, them golden slippers
      Golden slippers I'm goin' to wear
      To walk the golden street
      verses:
      Oh, my golden slippers am laid away
      'Cause I don't expect to wear 'em til my wedding day
      And my long tailed coat, that I love so well
      I will wear up in the chariot in the morn
      And my long white robe that I bought last June
      I'm goin' to get changed 'cause it fits too soon
      And the old grey hoss that I used to drive
      I will hitch him to the chariot in the morn
      (chorus)
      Oh, my old banjo hangs on the wall
      'Cause it ain't been tuned since way last fall
      But the folks all say we'll have a good time
      When we ride up in the chariot in the morn
      There's ol' brother Ben and his sister, Luce
      They will telegraph the news to uncle Bacco Juice
      What a great camp meetin' there will be that day
      When we ride up in the chariot in the morn
      (chorus)
      So, it's good-bye, children I will have to go
      Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
      And yer ulster coats, why, you will not need
      When you ride up in the chariot in the morn
      But your golden slippers must be nice and clean
      And your age must be just sweet sixteen
      And yourr white kid gloves you will have to wear
      When you ride up in the chariot in the morn

      @harrytoyshirt4146 5 років тому

      "Guitar work"? All she does is play basic rhythm, no breaks, no melody, just 3 or 4 chords over and over. Mandolin and fiddle play really fancy melody. No insult meant; as a guitarist, I simply disagree with you. Nothing wrong with what she does; she just doesn't do much guitar-wise. She's a good singer, and rhythm guitarist.
