Mission Mountain Wood Band-Take a Whiff On Me

Forgotten Bluegrass gem from the 1970s. This song is track one from the 1977 release 'In Without Knocking.' It's for sampling purposes ONLY, so if you like it and happen to find it, definitely buy it. It's worth it.

@salkoni All the songs in Hells Angels Forever are great! I like the Johnny Paycheck songs, especially "Too Bent to Boogie."

Also that song with the woman singing in her house with the three other guys! That song rocks!

[MrBallzdeep2010]

sorry about the dislike I just couldn't resist. All that green in the bar just needed a sliver of red. I'm not saying I dislike just had to be that guy!

M2WB that is all.

A lot of the old cocaine songs have the line "cocaine is for horses not for men."

Why? did somebody used to give horses coke?

I remember Mission Mountain at the Dry Creek Reunion, in Red Lodge, around 1980 or so. What a party that was.

[salkoni]

Regards from Serbia! This song is great, from "Hells Angels Forever" movie,long time ago...

[SpinNglo55]

Loved Mission Mountain! I've been looking for the song "In Without Knocking" off this album. If you have it could you please post it too. Thank You! "Pride of Montana"

[ChuckieInMT]

Great post! Yep, they're still doin' good -n- getting ready to tour this summer -n- practicing down in Dayton at the Hog Heaven Cattle Company. If anyone knows where Rob Quist and the guys could get an old Grayhound Vista Cruiser bus, they'd really like to hear about it. In the meantime, everybody, Take A Whiff On Me...

I loved to hear them play at Aber Day out at Miller Creek-they were great!

On the album cover isn't that the old Hoffman Saloon in Stanford MT, from the Charlie Russell painting? Great music-even better memories of all the old gang! I miss the "golden Montana of my youth"...great music!

[stephhas5]

Let me clear up the incorrect info from koolbreez55; all of the original M2WB members are still alive and playing together, except for Terry Robinson (who was my uncle) and Kurt Bergeron, who died in a plane crash on July 4, 1987, with the rest of their band, The Montana Band. I sure wish people would have their facts straight before commenting.......

[stephhas5]

@koolbreez55 you are completely off on your facts.....all members of the original M2WB are still alive and well and playing together, except for Terry Robinson (who was my uncle) and Kurt Burgeron, who were killed in a plane crash on July 4, 1987, with the rest of The Montana Band. Please have facts straight when commenting on something like that - thank you.

@koolbreez55 Dear Koolbreez55 - don't speak of what you don't know.

[LeissaW]

Dear Koolbreez55 - don't speak of what you don't know.

[koolbreez55]

Just to clear up some things. The only original member still playing is the bass player. The rest died in a plane crash in 1979.

[kdaviper]

this song's a blues song originally, right?

[bigcmcg1]

@LentilWk13 Yeah, they were really getting into it (it's funny how some music gets you going). I'm a metalhead but some old country or bluegrass really gets me off ! BTW I checked out your channel ... Good Stuff!

[LentilWk13]

@bigcmcg1 That's an awesome live version they do on the Hell's Angels Forever movie. One of my favorite highlights of the film (especially when some of the bikers start jumping off the ship!)

[rowdi907]

I saw MMB play this live in 1979. Ithought it was just my imagination that they played so well. Great to hear again 30 years later.

Fiddle solo at 2:21 IS EEEPPPIIIIICCCC!!!!!!!!
