I like the table mic setup. And the passing of the mic, mandolin picker putting it back for post solo verse : ) Have to say i was waiting for a Sambushesque jam with that mando tho bro : ) Very cool fellas!

Very cool. Nice harp playing. Cool voice for covering the band. However, probably best to learn the correct lyrics if you are trying to pay tribute.

"have to rumble in the alley" not "there's a rumble in the alley"

"Lookin' for my maker" not "lookin' for my lady"

"I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse" not 6 (prison overcrowding = early release?).

Thumbs up all around!

@timrichter9 ... Well, it's "folk" music isn't it? Long tradition of songs traded, shared, passed down, around & back 'n' forth among "just folks." Not a copy, just an interpretation. Robbie, Rick and Co. would surely not give a rat's ass about "perfect." and I surely doubt this was an attempt, nor is there a need for one, to blueprint/replicate every note & nuance. It's just music, and damn good at that.
