I have been listening to the Reverend and his band for years. The beauty of their music never stops giving me the chills.

Always a good day when The Reverend posts a video!

The reverb in that place is choice. Such a perfect locale for the Rev.

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

I swear I could smell a bucket o' kerosene burnin' in the middle of the room while you were playing! That's a fine space to air out a reso for sure!

[@friedchickenridebarton1567]

[@normanc.2021]

Charley is probably very happy to hear those sweet notes 🎶 playing again in the cotton gin building. Excellent job Rev. always enjoyable 👍

[@leeblankenship4755]

Was it at a Dead south concert? That's where I discovered him.

[@rickbabcock6397]

Someone gave me a 39 National I wish I could play like that but I think I need to practice.

[@lunchbox6576]

I am so glad you discovered the guitar.

[@jonneet2126]

I actually think your slide work is improving since I first started listening to your stuff. It was already fine and you had a distinctive style. These are compliments from this 68 year old guitar hack to you. Keep up the great work!

Checking in from the south split. I was trying to figure out where the heck THAT was in Brown County... For a second I thought that historical marker was the one for Gennette Records out in Richmond- where Charley Patton was first recorded (right here in the Hoosier state)

[@Mo11y666]

Thank you for taking the time to make this. As amazing as this is I'm alittle skeptical the video does it as much justice as hearing it standing there in person. Had to be something heavy. Not to sound crazy here or nothin but I probably would have had to touch some of that galvanized metal just to see if you could actually feel.the resonation of you belting out those drone notes from both you and that reso. Again thank you for taking the time to put together such a special song in the most special little gem tucked away in this country. That place means the world to me.

What does it mean?

[@bigdamnbandofficial]

It’s not about a rooster I can tell you that lol. It’s a 100 year old song, so some of the slang is waaaaaaaay outdated. Still awesome though. Some of it should come back around!

[@uradouchebag100]

[@Mo11y666]

​@@bigdamnbandofficial A Banty Rooster is a small but very aggressive person. It's also slang boastful, prideful and arrogant individual. And not to mention it can also mean a mischievous teenager who pulls over the top dangerous pranks that can actually be fatal. I just had to look up what a Banty Rooster was.
