Im British (English) but my stepdad introduced me to this music and I have to say that you Americans have produced some truly beautiful music. No one in my area has heard of this but I can guarantee they have now after I have been playing it on full volume the past few nights. As I would say in my home country this is absolutely bloody brilliant!

The tune is so simple, humble, pure, genuine and blue collared and energetic, some thing that will make your work, or put you back to work and you would not get tired listening to this music or working while listening to this music. This is what comes out when people do something with passion and sincerity.

Personally, I think this is one of Monroe's finest tunes. I love the beat. Many of the new generation do not realize the influence on the sixties Rock movement. Great tune Thanks for posting. ADDU31MFcommies.
