'Long Gone' is a single from the band’s self-titled debut project, which made its way into bluegrass via The Knoxville Grass back in the 1970s. Cole grew up in that area, and recalls hearing them perform it when he was much younger. After Jerry played the Knoxville Grass cut for the rest of the guys, it was quickly decided to include it on the record.

Say lady
Oh, you got to tell me
What it was came over you
You ain't the devil
But you might as well be
For all the changes
That you put me through

Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road

Want someone to believe in
Need someone that wants me, too
Don't want no lies and deceivin'
Girl, that's all I get from you

Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road

Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road

Long gone, baby is what I'm gonna be
Long gone, pack up and save my soul
Hang on to whatever's left of me
Find me walkin' the long gone road

When you play for Doyle, the lessons last a lifetime.

I ran across this song driving on the highway I-8 through Yuma Arizona. This song in a weird way touches my heart so deeply. One of the most amazing vocalist I have ever the male version of Allison Krause (spelling). I know a brotha named Ramsey Martin (former band mate) that would sond amazing singing this song. I love this song and love this band. OMG....

[k.sfields]

AU is a amazing bunch of talent. I could listen to them all day

[brianstolarski]

They made Neil Diamond's creation a masterpiece 50 years later.

That is staying power.

[claudegraham]

Great voices, great arrangement, solid picking, dang near perfect! Bravo!

[rebekahparchman]

Absolutely LOVE this! I heard Knoxville Grass doing it and then I listened to this on their album and was like OMGSH! You guys have got me hooked! Love it all!

[pimp]

Knowing Neil Diamond wrote the song back in the 1960's, I listened to the original version. The song was very different. Not trying to be disrespectful, Authentic Unlimited does an outstanding job applying the lyrics to a rhythmic, bluegrass song. Great job, guys!
