Didja see the interview with Sam Bush? They needed a new bass player, Cowan came in and impressed them enough to hire him - then he asked if HE could sing something... Sam said "well, I'M the lead singer, but sure, sing something"...
When Cowan was done (I forget what he sang for them) was done, Sam said "um....YOU'RE thre new lead singer"...
I can't believe there are 2 people that cannot appreciate the artistry of this entire group and face it there is only 1 man in the world that sings like this with the passion range and control
@feherplay I saw them at The Woodlands outside of Houston, TX. He's filling in for the regular bassist (Skylark) who is ill for at least a month. It was an incredible show. Check The Doobies website for dates.
He's better than ever now. Bluegrass is lucky to have scored him, he can sing anything and amaze me. I'm not easily amazed but some people's talent just floors me.
Like no other musicians have ever "showboated"? Ever seen SRV play behind his back? This is a showboatin' tune for John. I'd do it, too, if I could sing like that. Showboat on, dude!
Getting around to Telluride time againJure with NGR was still together... I saw John sing this just as the moon was coming up years ago...unforgetable...

I love this song.. but come on kids... Cowan is showboatin just a bit on that part.. It is like the proverbial bs on OBS. Stop while you is ahead, boy!
This will forever go down as one of my favorite songs of all time!!! No one could sing like John Cowan could. Thank you BluegrassLibrary for putting these up for all of us NGR fans to enjoy!!!!
I got to see John do Good Woman's Love at a little club on the college campus in Austin, TX some years ago. After it was done, I overheard the conversation between the couple in front of me. I guess they were in their sixties.
Him, maybe a little taken aback, "That's a Bill Monroe tune!"

I love how Sam checks out after his opening solo, around :28, to double check his tuning, and checks back in at around :40...
