[@peytonMillar-tq7su]

Amazing band and True Gentlemen. When true music 🎵 was there. Nashville cats is a legendary song for sure

[@seymills]

my dad used to sing me this song when we drove in the car in the 70's ..great memories :)

[@davidcurtis7547]

You had a good Dad

[@seymills]

@@davidcurtis7547 yes i did and thankfully still do :)

[@oldermusiclover]

this was an old Loving Spoonful tune and loved them Nashville CATS and all the studio musicians

[@w3tua]

I accidentally ran across this episode when it aired. Their sound hit me in the face and I've been a fan ever since.

[@StevenKHarrison]

What a good old John Sebastian tune this is!

[@marthamydear7499]

Amen! Love this song!!!

[@jbcsmithsmith1100]

Gotta love Del!! When this album came out, I had it cranking one night, and my Siamese cat, Banjo, walked across the remote to the stereo and the thing went straight to NASHVILLE CATS!! Never will forget that!

[@marthamydear7499]

That is awesome!!! My cat, Devil Kat, always chilllllls when I play this - and kind of smiles.😊😁

[@woodennickel6148]

Eye know the type. Marble Shootin' minded creatures. Every other one of the nine. All with names as long as mine. Don't look to the East none without lickin' their noses and oh my at the poses.

[@burnthecoat]

Gotta say, this is an INCREDIBLE performance for being live. A ton of instrumental and vocal skill all perfectly mixed together.

[@thekennylogginscoverband393]

Tyde Buesing Count me in :)

[@timhoovermusicman]

Austin City limits.

[@pauljohnson8847]

Got to shake Del's hand and pass a kind word back in 2001. What a gentleman. Everything you would expectl One of the greatest 30 seconds of my life.

[@robonbass6864]

Del is a legend... Hope he gets another 10 years... He has to stay

[@milescharles4934]

He's clean as country water , he's under Grace.

[@babygretz5]

their picking & singing brings a smile to my face... been listening to this song for over 50 yrs...THANKS JOHN !

[@marthamydear7499]

LOVE MAH DEL MCCOURY!!!!! And his wonderful band/family!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

My favorite bluegrass singer is Del.

[@adamchoruzek3805]

Another 6 Star perfect song from Del and the band!! LOVE IT!!

[@Ripplin]

The A.C.L. special was the first time I saw Del and the boys and I was floored! Jaw dropping musicianship and tons of fun. It really made me into a bluegrass fan, rather than just a casual admirer. :)

[@moonoggin]

Got to hear this live in Jekyll Island. My alltime fav band. Every person is so talented and most kindhearted !!

[@Ruckweiler73]

The Lovin' Spoonful's version was a tribute to guys like the folks in this band.

[@janedoe-ex5wo]

Yep. Del McCoury is the real deal!

[@scottmitchell4181]

John Sebastian stumbled across Danny Gatton playing in a pretty empty hotel bar in Nashville before their sold out show.

[@userer4579]

The "story": kzbin.info/www/bejne/laaapHWVoLKAhKc

[@TheFunkhouser]

Yeah the LSF's song is amazing. A bunch of 1960's hippies laying down the country blue grass. Was epic.

[@rapman5791]

Exactly!!!! This band performing this song is the ultimate show of respect and gives no greater a shout out than to do this song!!! For all the fools crying because Del McCoury didn’t specifically name drop Sebastian or thank him for writing the song don’t have a clue just what it means that Del is performing the tune at all. 💁‍♂️

[@markherzog3435]

They not only have to play and sing in harmony...they have to move about each other . ..good footwork too .

[@drumsofjoevancamp]

Now that is the kind of pickin and grinnin I like That is country I would enjoy playing. It's not boring it's not depressing nobody lost their beer or girlfriend and it's upbeat.

[@feaw3]

That's some righteous banjo pickin' by Rob McCoury

[@Havagannset]

"Nashville Cats" was of course composed by John Sebastian and made famous by the Lovin' Spoonfull in the 1960s....

[@JanetCaterina]

Amazing how this tune gets around! Fantastic rendition!

[@stevejessee4603]

Hell yeah I'm an east Tennesseean. Proud as hell

[@OSCAR82AA]

Del and the boys, Top band today !

[@dlmullins9054]

Wow, what a great band. Please keep playing.

[@joycejohnson7164]

amazing rendition!!

[@RLHo-fj9ln]

A goosebumpin me

[@marktyner1388]

Nobody could top this version.

[@daggiedingo7456]

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Darren Wendzina same! 😃

[@michaelpoling92]

Jason Carter is a damn good fiddle player

[@stevesewall]

and as the band does its wonderful instrumental windup at 3:31 the crowd loves his surprise slap at 3:37

[@treypalmer5105]

That's an understatement! :-)

[@arniemax1]

Aw Man, this is great! a first listen, a Smile immediate

[@TheDeltaBombers]

Never heard harmonies better than this.

[@chucklachey2304]

Love the baseline.. toe tapping simple and great music :)

[@boytyde]

chuck lachey ya man that basedrop

[@nathanclark2780]

Better than a studio record! Incredible!

[@catdaddy3302]

Like they OWN this one!

[@forbiddennotes3964]

Well I mean, while they didn't write it, they did own it

[@LJH70122]

I discovered these guys a few years back when they did an album with Steve Earle (The Mountain). Then they did another one I liked with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. But, this is great. I bet it makes John Sebastion is proud

[@GodStarRevisited69]

God Bless Del and his kin, Jason Carter is a superstar. love them, sjut saw them alst night at Rockygrew.

[@johnallison1942]

One of my favorites.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Man,Where would we be without Austin City Limits? No”Cliffs of Dover” Eric Johnson,performances like this.

[@jettrink7510]

Wow... That was awesome.

[@catdaddy3302]

I saw y’all at the Farm in Beaver, Arkansas, and they put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I saw them at The Grand Ole Opry with Steve Earle, and that was the best bluegrass show I’ve ever seen.

[@lkbwheewhee53]

Great song and great version! It's of course written by a true New Yorker John Sebastian!

[@rustybearden1800]

I've seen them many times and they never disappoint - best in bluegrass in my humble opinion (and very personable and friendly with their fans)

[@bette-ann]

Love Del ❤

[@jonohx]

Excellent, thanks Del.

[@blueridger28]

Born and raised in the blue ridge mts love Del and the Boys

[@hsvkidusa]

this has been the version ive been looking for for YEARS since i saw the history channel's "top 20 songs about places"

[@poolpoolification]

bad ass at the freight tonight thanks del and band

[@toraassm]

So good it makes me cry...literally

[@oldermusiclover]

LOVE that fiddle player

[@GroverGee]

man! this harmony does crazy stuff to my brain.

[@GYMMYT]

@RedneckDrow1991 Flatt & Scuggs sang it in 1967. The Lovin' Spoonful sang it first, it's their song.

[@charlesmarshall2697]

Tearing that fiddle up!

[@joycejohnson7164]

john sebastian --lovin' spoonful-- composition

[@davidcurtis7547]

Pure as country water , wild as Mountain Dew . Nashville Cats been playing since they’re babies . Nashville Cats get work before they’re Two

[@fredkoning]

Beautiful harmony. Gives me chills every time I hear it

[@GreatWhiteNet]

great loving spoonful cover

[@richrichard9038]

Perfection is a genre unto itself.

[@dvdinjp]

Oh yeah, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, harmony ~ :)

[@Whiskeybuisness]

Just another FINE example of this band...WONDER who the 2 dislikes could be? Beats me how anybody could NOT like it...

[@johnmiller5678]

One awesome bluegrass band

[@duanekarlen5463]

Ah those cat's ❤

[@cHUCHo458]

Del is the man!

[@talstory]

so glad i know about del!

[@BeingRomans829ed]

Ol' Del and the boys do a mighty fine job, Yep!

[@TheFunkhouser]

Real deal good ole boys

[@markherzog3435]

Thanks Nashville mom's!

[@JeremiahsFiles]

I remember Del McCoury's song Loneliness & Desperation from one of my Carmen Sandiego games & that song from Kidsongs.

[@Virginialogging]

it would have been nice if they'd have given credit to the writer and originators of this song. John Sebastian and the Lovin' Spoonful 1966.

[@robertgloeden5798]

Unbelievable

[@juliemachen2421]

MAGIC!!!!!

[@laurenblainebamartistmgt]

Check out The Earls of Lester today. They are like a Scruggs and Flatt tribute band with some monsters playin'. Shawn Camp (of Guy Clark fame) singing up front. Woo hoo.

[@kentkearney6623]

Ed Sulluvan show with John Sebastian and the Lovin Spoonful. ❤

[@bill4729]

written by john Sebastian and recorded by the lovin spoonful

[@ryansutter5614]

dont believe Del said they wrote it, just said put it out. Del version way better than Lovin Spoonful!!

[@marcisaac2558]

Andy McWilliams you are correct sir

[@marcisaac2558]

my apology to all on this thread for my rude comment ...must have been the vodka ....

[@robinsonnetwork8531]

This song was wrote by flat and scruggs

[@rueridge7597]

Marc Isaac You're a polesmoking moron. Del the king

[@DismalCreekBand]

great one!

[@rogerhyde5990]

Rob is the Man.

[@KimSpangler-hy2vj]

Blue grass pickers are great!

[@darlincommitme]

You "don't know",,, but insist someone else is wrong? Sebastian wrote the song, Flatt and Scruggs turned it into a bluegrass standard and recorded it after Spoonful's version. It is attributed to Sebastian on their album.

[@moosegurl08]

Del Yeah! :)

[@ahutch3835]

Del is the punk music of bluegrass

[@debraknight5300]

Great!

[@lindabranigan2460]

There should be "reply" between, Like and Dislike. This band does a exemplary cover of the original... The Lovin' Spoonful w/ John Sebastian, lead singer, songwriter and musician. He wrote this song and preformed it in 1966. The original is a folksy/ country/ rocky?/signature style of John Sebastian. When you almost yodel and pick it out, it reminds me of Minnie Pearl / Chet Atkins. There were the best. However, when you have a frenetic pace to this song, it completing changes the intended impact/ feeling that the composer was conveying.

[@JackK867]

thumbs up indeed

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

Oh yeah!!

[@BeingRomans829ed]

Funny, I'm not too nuts about the style of the mandolin, fiddle, and banjo playing, but I can't argue against the fact that it works. I'd sure like to get to go to one of Del's concerts.

[@alivia56]

BeingRomans829ed BeingRomans829ed

[@alivia56]

Randy Ickes saw them in johnstown pa 3 years ago.stood right in front of them as they played.super pickers and fine gentleman!

[@BeingRomans829ed]

Randy Ickes I'm sure you had a mighty fine time! 8-)

[@HonkIfYouLoveHonking]

This song is completely true.

[@wadelomas4543]

If you listen to the Lovin Spoonfuls original recording, the pay tribute to the “Nashville Cats” by pronouncing It “Naishville” like a Tennesseean would.

[@bobwalsh84]

Well done Cats!

[@jaygatsby1]

Here Mike Bub (bass player) tell the backstory of this appearance on Otis Gibbs’ channel. Bravo

[@marcisaac2558]

This must be at Austin City Limits ...I lived there

[@oconnor1951]

And played by some of those Cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Amhlair]

It would have been nice had he mentioned that the song was written by John Sebastian of The Lovin' Spoonful.

[@09terrafirma]

I agree with Virginialogging completely.

[@williamwilson6499]
