I agree you cant beat the original. but i saw EDrive in concert a few weeks ago and although it isnt the original they really made it their own i thought it was great. BTW Brad Mates is sooo hot he can retire in my necks of the woods (literally woods lol jk) anytime ;)
Of course most people will prefer Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's version; it's the original. Pretty much EVERYONE in country music covers it because it's a classic. It's covered by bands because country music fans will respond to it, obviously.
Brad Mates CAN sing. Very very well actually. Emerson Drive is incredibly talented, there is nothing like an EDrive concert. They're very underrated. I don't understand where all the Emerson Drive hate is coming from, and I don't think they were trying to upstage the Nitty Gritty Dirt band, but they're version is very good and they have the talent, no doubt about it.
They sound amazing when they sing this live. The video quality here just sucks, that's all.
i got to hear them sing this live in penticton british columbia!!! this video duz them NO justice!!! i thought this was even BETTER than the original!!!
I love Emerson Drive. I will admit the Nitty Gritty Dirt band sang this song way better but Emerson Drive didn't do half bad. A song they did ruin, however, is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Brad is great singer dispite what other people say. He should just stick with the band's songs.
emerson drive sucks now the original band was better from the 12 gauge days and playing at bjs brad is a prick. who cant sing hence why the original members quit because of his ego. I use to party with the band back in the day and played guitar for them once in awhile cuz their original guitar player was a moron
oh wow bayfest thats a real country ho down get real its gay might as well be a rock festival crue and bum jovi and FERGIE!!! get seroius you guys in ont dont know how to do a country festival. you dont know how to do much except shoot off your mouths about how great you are then come to alberta looking for jobs cuz ont SUCKS! as far as working your shaft you do a good enough job cuz your such a tool. emerson DIVE!!!! sucks thats why they get boos in their own hometown and nobody cares.
alright bud bayfest isnt all about country i never said it was and im not a hockey fan so i could care less but i dont see why you have to chirp about ontario and i dont think anyone runs their mouths about how great we are and that shit has nothing to do with what i was talking about
im sorry but this cant even come close to the origanal by nitty gritty dirt band. it just isnt the same and they kill it at 1:00 that sounds like shit they should have left a good song the way it was
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band!!!
