Its not as up lifting as "High Hopes", no goats, no rubber tree plants. But in todays world? Well, maybe a little more on topic. :-\ Get it done and I don't care how. Fiddles and rap, which basically tells you when you've stopped talking BS. If you ever manage to get the 'hood and the holler voting toghther, its because you're talking sense. I have faith in y'all and offer this song as a suggestion. Multi-cultural, well armed and pissed, what more do you want? ;D ;D ;D

There is something morally wrong about combining Blue grass and Rap.
Remember, the Guys name is Fifty Cent, not 4 Bits ;D

100% wrong Tom. And here I shit you not. Rap, bluegrass, punk, Irish, Scottish etc. Its DIY music. A guy with a guitar, and a story to tell. You need three chords, a red guitar and some version, (because I'm an honest man), of the truth. The thing is its blue collar music written in somebody's cheap rented apartment and played on a cheap Ibenaz guitar bought at a Pawn Shop. It doesn't make the music special, but it does make it real. Because those songs are the rebel songs we still sing three hundred years later. Actually let me prove my point to you Tom. Here's an old blegrass tune. If you think this is isn't a somewhat scary song if enemy troops were to sing it at you on the march or a damn sad one if we had to pay the OSHA costs?...... Anyway, it goes like this.

Honestly, its a solid Southern song from from Patty Loveless.

Why a red guitar ? do blue ones sound like crap ?
I will note here that when I listen to music it is Blues or Classic rock.

Ask Bob Dylan and Jimmie Hendrix about color choices. :-\

FQ, that is one of my personal favorites, and Patty did a Dynamite job, also done by Brad Paisley, and I think a duet was done as well, Blue grass is all about fiddle, mandolin, guitar and that high and lonesome sound. Not to mention on both artists renditions, Jerry Douglas, the best Dobro player in the world. Delta blues, Texas blues, Chicago blues, and Blue Grass, all are favorites of mine, in blue grass, you will find very few painted guitars, most are acoustic, cheap or not, my Taylor actually was on the stage of the Grand Old Opera, I was not playing, just a loan. My Blue grass friends, always talk about Grassing a song, Like Hayseed Dixie has done with AC/DC, it seems a lot of crossover is going on, some good, some not so good. Also Blue grass has a lot of killing songs, people have to die, like "Long black veil "
I hope all enjoyed " You'll never leave Harlan alive " its real.
Now to some others. " Long Black Veil " Lefty Frizzle"
