The playing in bluegrass is as exciting, spontaneous and thrilling as that on the rockin'ist rock and roll recordings. I think that's why, during her bluegrass years (1999 - 2003), Dolly was able to cover rock classics "Stairway to Heaven" and "Shine" so successfully.
Thank you for posting it ! It is note to note how this band play it in the Dolly's CD 'The Grass is Blue' and it is normal : you must be perfectly adjusted when you are 10 or so people picking and singing together. Jim Mills on banjo and Stuart Duncan on fiddle feel so easy ! The guitar player is Bryan Sutton and even if this tune does not show it he is a great musician too.
This is Dolly at her best! Thank you so much for posting this. Apart from the wonderful plucking, exciting driving rhythm, outstanding banjo work and powerful vocalization, the words got me! At a family reunion recently in Morristown, Tennessee, (just down the road from where Dolly is from) my cousins read a great great grandfather's account of taking a train from Morristown to Memphis. Sadly, one can't do that anymore.
AINT NEVER BEEN ANOTHER COUNTRY GIRL THAT COULD SING LIKE DOLLY , NEVER.

Not quite bluegrass, and I do not the like the way Dolly take the spotlight all the time, but I like it up to a point.

Sam Bush mandolin, Jerry Douglas slide guitar, Allison Krauss back up vocals?!?!?! Man, what a show that would have been!

Dolly says bluegrass is half the money and twice the fun. It's hard to believe what a very tiny lady she actully is.
