Goose Creek Symphony - "Mercedes Benz"

[ReverendBoz]

Saying Goose Creek is a "bluegrass" band is like saying Bill Monroe was a "Rock Star"

Charlie Gearheart was born in eastern Kentucky, in the Floyd County community of Goose Creek. (south of Martin, KY) This is where he learned to play. He was in high school when he moved to AZ.

These guys used to go fishing in our backyard, I still have this autographed LP. I had forgotten about it all til I saw some groovy bluegrass cover of Guns n Roses.

[bridgetann54a]

Wow ..I saw these guys in the early 70s ..they opened for Don Mcclean..the guy who sang American Pie..memories lol

[dllewiszz]

This version of this song was more well-known here in Tennessee than the other one. I think of this group every time I drive past the Goose Creek Inn and Restaurant on I-65 about 30 miles south of Nashville.

[myfavoritenitemare]

I seen them in concert 3 times, this song and still dumb are the best live and drunk.

[relebee]

I had this album and knew the words to all their songs. They still rock in my mind!  Thanks for posting this, love it, love it, love it.

An old girlfriend back in the early 1970's turned me on to them. This group was my first introduction to Bluegrass music.
