[gypsyjoeful]

this cover left me speechless. the harmony, the groove of the guitar, the emotion, big ups guys. best cover ive heard yet

[MrClogger100]

its very good but I prefer Lefty Frizzell's version..

[BasicBusker]

much enjoyed this, quality sound !

[seanybiker]

Excellent version lads. Love it. Fair play to ye.

[Claymasterclay]

This is the best rendition of this song. Better than both Johnny Cash and Dave Matthews.

[Chefadam1983]

Love it!

[tubytubey]

Great version of this ... love the 3-note undercurrent repeat. Was looking for popular versions of this and almost flew right past yours. Glad I didn't. I think I'm a fan!

[MrBluesforyou]

A miraculous performance!!!

[callumholly67]

anybody know how mike starts the intro to long black veil

[mikemassedotcom]

@callumholly67 First, you should know that I play this "wrong", meaning I don't play it the way Dave Matthews does. I think he plays it with bar chords, and stretches his pinky to add the "D" note to the C chord.

I play essentially the same notes he does, but in a different position. I'm playing an open C chord, then I add the D note with my pinky on the 2nd string, 3rd fret. That should be enough info for you to figure it out. Good luck.

Man best damn version of this song ever. I am a big fan of Dave Matthews but I think this performance even out did his. Great Job gentlemen.

[75gideon]

Great job,

[steelwolf72]

I liked it you guys did real good donne the song justice 

[lmitcho16]

This is a great cover. However, Dave Matthews masters this song. I like this version second only to Dave's. I will say that Mike should have a record deal and should WITHOUT QUESTION be playing music FULL TIME. Your covers of CREEP and THE SCIENTIST are better (or just as good) as the original performer's BEST PERFORMANCES. You are an incredible musician and talent

[jollytom12345]

Really amazing job on this beautiful song. Thank you for sharing.

[moeSlates]

Great cover but I could of did without that damn Yankees hat!!!

[bulbheadmyass]

You guys do an awesome version of this, one of the best versions on youtube.

[Torino2]

Great job Mike. i didnt know the pie had live music. I'll have to come hang out sometime.

[bunky6765]

You guys are great! I wish you played in Georgia--I'd come out and have a slice or two...

[ryans1091]

good shit

[Prydus1969]

The absolute BEST version of this song anywhere - PERIOD. I love Johnny Cash, but you fellows even outdid the original. I would buy this one on CD! Excellent job guys - as usual.

[cdmxtec]

dang

[Raddesigns2k7]

absolutely the best.....so atmospheric...perfectly done...with an extre bit o' passion

[mistadobalina29]

awesome vid guys, you should do rye whiskey and big rock candy mountain

[dancingdixie]

My favorite rendition of all times!! Great job gentlemen. Wish you were a little closer to Oklahoma, I would certainly come see you perform.

[jareddeason]

You guys are awesome! I can't quit watching your videos. Why are you playing in a little pizza place??? Do you all play other places?

[Somuchtoplay]

Deserves far more views, simply beautiful

[good2go2bed]

always looking for a cool version of this tune... well done my friends...

[SierraVisions101]

Great job guys. Love your voice Mike. It's very soulful.

[walkwithitraining]

you do know this isn't a dave matthews song, right?

[mikemassedotcom]

Did you read the title carefully? :)

[00murky]

@mikemassedotcom its a Lefty Frizzel song, but you did a great job anyway lol.

[peterpilot379]

Actually, it was a cover for Johnny Cash too. Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin originally wrote the song and it was first recorded in 1959 by Lefty Frizzell. We didn't hear Cash's version until about 1965.

[jangofeett16]

@walkwithitraining if we're getting technical, it's not a Johnny Cash song either. It's a song written by Danny Dill, recorded by Lefty Frizzell, made famous by Johnny Cash and then performed live to critical acclaim by Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris. This particular version is done more in the style of the Dave Matthews performance.

Don't try to be a know-it-all, unless you actually do know it all.

[aliwhitwell]

Great version guys! Very impressive. best I've heard that rivals the Dave Matthews version. Thanks.

[mattydfromisp]

wow guys, awesome!

[mikemassedotcom]

Three chords and the truth.
