I think there's an urge in every songwriter to turn everything into a country song, and Bill gives in more often then most.

I really like this version. I came to know the song through the Johnny Cash cover, which I still love. I’ve seen BPB do a lot of other kind of “energized” versions, but this is my favorite of the bunch.

What a performer. He gives 100% into everything he does. Hope to see him perform live someday.

[Iamintoguitars]

Unbelievable. One of the best performances I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

[MERVILLE]

Never in my life have I seen a man that so much needed to learn to play the banjo

[hippyjodorowsky]

So weird seeing Sweeny playing after seeing all those noisey videos, great guy

I was a bit late for Superwolf the first time round (probably heard it a year or 2 after release) but I literally don't know how I missed this show! Fingers crossed I get to see them when/if they tour the new album...

Sweeney is WAY underrated as a performer. I would love to see him a build a band. (probably has! i'm just late)

[torontolarrivee]

wish this version was available for purchase - love Sweeney's part

[dakotaberry]

I see darkness down on the farm yeehaw

[Sidiciousify]

[nicoleward]

fucking terrible! how could he make the original version so blooby beautiful and then trash it like this. an insult to those of us who love the original.
