  • I like this one the best. I like the J.D. Crowe thing but is what is up with those shirts? The Dillards I think wrote the tune but I really like these words. I mean OMG Very PC!

  • Lets face it. This is the best bluegrass song ever. Western Colorado, Political, real, no studio, live, creek, truth, honor, justice. I have to say that I love these guys. The sound is true. There is no edit or sound over. This is the real deal. True Americana. There is so other better.  I searched ebay, itunes, youtube. Pure.

  • Beautiful music, beautiful message! I'm a high school teacher and I make sure I teach how to protect our planet by using both sides of the paper and using just the right size for a quiz and so on.

  • Wow - this is amazing - so much fun - thanks dustin!

  • This is so great. The best song I have ever known. Way to much fun to be legal! Fun fun fun. I love this group. Thanks Dustin! WOW

  • Buy defiance string band they are the people in this. The gutiar player the bass player and the banjo player. The newest cd with John Summers (thank god i'm a country boy)he wrote it. This Is True!!!!

  • Funny Video Dad!

  • Very good song love it

  • Amazing song. One of the best songs I have ever heard. The words are poetic. Look out Encana!

  • It is musical and funny. I am not sure how they pulled this off or even why but this is part of American Bluegrass History now and it is fabulous. I love these guys! Where can I but a CD? I want to download them on itunes.

  • At first I think this is a Joke. But then I listen and the music is actually very good. I understand why anyone would be upset if a big gas company polluted a stream but is bluegrass music the idyllic way to express opposition against corporate bad behavior? Who are these musicians? How does one buy a CD or get the music? (nothing on itunes)

  • I saw on CNN that you can light tap water on fire in Colorado because of natural gas. It is not just Divide Creek that you can light on fire anymore.
