Scotti,

You're missing a treat if you don't have that IIIrd Tyme Out CD. It's early stuff and they were really out on their edges then. I like them much better then than nowadays.

Their show (at least the one I saw last year), was very flat and they spent @ half their stage time screwing around rather than play/sing.

In my opinion, stage antics and time fillers are cop outs. I go to a Bluegrass Festival to hear Bluegrass Music.....not watch a bunch of.......well, you get my point. I want to hear as many tunes as a 40 minute set will allow (Like Del McCoury or Lonesome River Band). Sorry this ran of topic a little.

..yea..Ive heard the IIIrd Tyme Out version...Bibey nails it...AGAIN....I agree about the too much fartin around on stage and not playin...LRB is the best at drivin chit down your throat....bang bang bang...they dont say a word for the first 15 mins..just driving it home. AHHHH Alan..whats wrong?..ya gettin soft on me

....and Thanks, Thanks Alot...Jacob

Now, Scotti, it don't get much more hard core than the Paisley version, or Goins.

Hey Scotti,
How about Moundsville Pen as recorded by IIIrd Time Out. I always liked that song as I used to live in the Ohio Valley. I remember a school trip to the prison when it was still operational as a prison. Years later I went on a tour of the prison with my family and a sister. My sister was offended when the tour guide said that young men would go in to the prison as a tight end and leave as a wide receiver. I don't find anything offensive about football so I'm not sure why my sister was offended!
