What are the words "Take ol'John ........on the "what"? Thanks

[redbrian3655]

THANK YOU!! I have written down your version and will be doing at my Church in mArch. I am doing a series on the stained-glass windows in our Church. The first window is concerning the keys to the kingdom, and I needed a song to highlight the message. Again, THANK YOU.

I remember seeing Sharon Gilchrist often perform with a friend's little sisters many years ago in Dallas.

Sharon was the most beautiful girl i had ever seen,the sisters became the Dixie Chicks.

I still have a bit of contact with Sharon and Kristin....nice video.They recently have two new members.

super rendition,

abigail starts off in A and by the time they get to the end, they're barely high enough to even be in G! maybe it only bothers me....

The lead singer is Abigail Washburn, I'm sure. I was with my choir on a trip in Colorado, and we met her on a bus... She taught us this song, and we sang it with her... It was so freaking cool. All the way to the airport from the car rental place. I had this song on my myspace until she deleted it from her profile.

This is the most moving song, sang by the best new group I've heard!

Great singing but the melody really reminds me of Peggy Lee's version of Fever. Anyone else notice the similarity?

See youtube video JGb5IweiYG8 and

Listen for yourself, but I don't recognize any melody similarities. Similar rhythm, but slower on Keys-, also similar in that there's clicking (leg slapping) as percussion and little (and no) instrument accompaniment.

Actually the song Keys to the Kingdom predates Fever. Uncle Earl's rendition is based on a 1937 song by Lillie Knox. The Fever song was written in the fifties

so maybe the writers of that song borrowed a bit from the Keys.

This is an awesome group and the people at the festival are obviously NOT there for the music. Shame, they are missing true Southern Appalachian music.
