Bluegrass version of Fleetwood Mac The Chain Andy Wood (live)

[@mooky407]

This song shouldn't work without those haunting harmonies. Great job fellas

[@andywoodmusic]

It’s so lonesome by itself, we though it sounded really cool

[@givemsix5676]

So some 20ish years ago, my buddy Tall Paul was playing at O'Charley's on the Cumberland strip in Knoxville on a Monday night, and some rail thin kid asks to play guitar with Paul. Paul figures nothing from nothing leaves nothing, an Andy takes his guitar. I have come to realize in the last 20 years or so, he can make music with a tooth brush. Just crazy amazing talented.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@givemsix5676 that night was life changing. Paul is the best and I owe him so much.

[@elliottrandolph7618]

🤔🤔 wtf did I just hear? This is straight DOPE!!!! Nothing but compliments and respect. Oh and yes I'm sharing this

[@Hippo007]

Andy, like seriously, you need to record an entire album with this singer. The chemistry here is incredible!

[@adrianoddy4339]

Fkn love this. Im from the other side of the pond so not sure what constitutes good solid working class music in America but this must be close. Reyt effort lads👍

[@rogerdeal7749]

Sweet! Jordan is an excellent vocolist.

[@robertsnearly3823]

Dam! Where have I been. Completely missed this. Excellent job, fellas. I'll be back to listen to it again.

[@bjornegan6421]

Wow. absolutely fantastic. what really stood out to me is this is the first time i've heard a mandolin and thought 'that sounds great!'. haunting tone and fantastic playing of course. this is fine music.

[@paulseehusen6951]

We can say they should have done this and that but they did it their way Blue Grass style.I love Fleetwood Mac and i love what these lads did with a very Lindsey Buckingham strong song.Well done Lads.

[@scottiusmaximus4298]

I don't know much about music....but my ears loved this. From the instruments to the vocals to everything. Best cover of this song I've ever heard. Like I said, I'm not musician or nothing, but this is just wonderful to me.

[@ProbablySoonerThanLater]

Excellent!!💕

[@chelseasleep6769]

just missing those beauty vocal harmonies

[@andypearce5537]

Travis Toy!

[@Awakeningspirit20]

I came looking for this, I realized the beginning of the song, it's strings, sound very eerie and like mountain music!

[@Im-sure]

Thumbs up for the players

[@DavidofSteele]

Great voice! However, I would have loved to have heard backing harmonies in the chorus’s. Would have made it electrifying

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

Agree, it’s really all about that vocal harmony they had on the original.

[@DonaldDouglasJr]

Agreed and I prefer the dobro being picked roughly during the brief solo of the original BUT STILL EXCELLENTE!

[@jameslenmorgan]

Amazing alternate version

[@tarazimmerman321]

Amazing cover.

[@krystiankornilowicz4577]

Wooo mandolin man

[@gtsipejr]

How good is this?!

[@CountryMusic527]

Thank you so much for this version, very great interpretation of the song and I loved the ending!

[@Chadmz71]

I would love to hear Stevie sing this with you this way. It would be amazing!

[@KyuuraTV]

Beautiful! Such a beautiful version!

[@seaweeedbath]

Uncle Bens raised eyebrows reaction to Mandolin solo at 05:15

[@derrickholmes2586]

Fabulous just fabulous.

[@rebelhemi9450]

What can I say? WOW just WOW!!

[@mistertv5380]

This is superb! Makes me want to watch the whole concert.

[@andywoodmusic]

Thanks! Album and film are available on Amazon and iTunes. Let me know what you think!

[@gfitzp]

@@andywoodmusic will there be a dvd release? It's not available in the UK on Amazon :(

[@akshaychowdhry1]

Real nice work by everyone- great playing and vocals are on point in this arrangement!

[@NickMagnuson]

Nailed it.

DAMNNNNNNN! Fantastic!

goosebumps

[@kitharfiddle]

Whoa! So sweet! Say, WHO is the Fiddle Player?!?

[@donald-parker]

Great interpretation. I kind of missed a fuller vocal arrangement but the rest was great. And hi Uncle Ben :)

[@akadikoy]

Awesome!

[@Glissmann]

superb

[@paulzeman7684]

Fun times!

[@Captain.Pugwash]

Very nice job👍

[@nemoes]

Andy Wood is human!!!! He's still a monster player though

[@scottmontgomery4537]

cool

[@smithchasea]

Great version! The only way it could have been better would have been to include a banjo!

[@bab008]

Agreed, backing harmonies would have made this even better.

[@Phil92G]

So amazing. But why in the hell does he leave out „watch the sun rise“ i mean who covers a song and leaves out one line. That disturbs me.

[@ToolsAreToys]

Needs more Banjo

[@FireStrings85]

@beneller you didn’t get a solo man!

[@tilasole3252]

Did they change the video? There was one where it started on the main singer more predominantly.

[@loganpirie4387]

Uncle Ben Eller sighting!

[@kylecushman8649]

Jon Benjamin has a band.

[@trippplefive]

damn..unbox therapy can sing

[@scottmurphy5676]

I love Bluegrass music but to me this has a much more Celtic feel than a bluegrass one

[@bbmetz]

That's where bluegrass comes from

[@Celticman197]

Where's the banjo?

[@buggybunny5769]

Sorry, needs the thumping drums to add to the drama of this song.

[@pigletjnr]

the bass is too quiet

[@anytaskumpy3508]

kavos

[@paulzeman7684]

Hey, I spy with my little eye... Ben Eller...

[@scdefion]

Who is the singer?

[@bradwilliams6550]

Jordan Burris. He has an Americana band called Pale Root.

[@2Jeezuzisreal]

Not all birds fly south.

[@sh4nds1]

Weirdly I’ve not yet heard a bluegrass version I’ve not preferred to the original

[@mikeesparza3740]

tee grizzley

[@craigbenz4835]

The music was great, but I'm still adjusting to the song being sung by a male vocalist.

[@Chris.Brisson]

Let's invite Alison Krauss to help out with harmonies.

[@mixmastermind]

Isn't Lindsey Buckingham the lead vocalist on The Chain?

[@craigbenz4835]

His voice is prominent in the refrain, but Stevie Nicks does the verses.

[@kaisergray.]

Craig Benz my dude Lindsey does the verses

[@pseudonymlifts2]

@@craigbenz4835 lmao I hope you've not spent the last 40 years believing that

[@achill9603]

"...the chain will keep us together..." - only if the band play together. The first half is played in such a wooden, disjointed manner and is so slow that the magic of the original is lost. I nearly didn't stay for the second half, in which this band again fail to gel. That's what FM did so incredibly well.

[@andywoodmusic]

its meant to start as a bluegrass ballad and end as a bluegrass double time jam. By "not playing together" well.... I dunno what you mean, as there are a lot of unison lines that the 3 melody instruments take and the rhythm section is keeping a great somber tempo going. if you don't like it, then thats cool, but the execution was on. Again its not meant to be a direct cover, but more a re imagining.

[@ChainsawChristmas]

It's always the super religious folk that are so negative. Solid work Andy. You're an inspiration brother.

[@rodgeralbert6518]

You took an AWESOME song by Fleetwood Mac and totally butchered it!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a disgrace. The second half of the song is even more of a cluster than the first. I am embarrassed for you.

[@andywoodmusic]

literally who cares what you think. You're just another empty voice on the internet. You can't play, you don't create anything, and you simply don't like my version of this song. You need to put yourself in check, go do something with your life.

[@evaeilea]

Andy Wood Music lol well said. I like this version, it’s good to see you’ve been able to make it your own and make it interesting. And yeah as you said some people don’t have a clue about music and just like to criticize

[@rodgeralbert6518]

@@andywoodmusic You stole a song, butchered it and wonder why you are not a top or even known band. Where are you on the charts??
