[@KatharinaDiboma]

Hilarious! Can't believe I only found this now. What a great cover. The world needs Ryan. 🤘🏼

[@tenderthuggin]

I don't know how I missed this one! I love him :)

The banter is amusing at first but gets a little cloying. Damn good version. And without power chords, right?

[@john-xc3iy]

Awesome!

[@bushisahomo]

man this is great!

[@mrtv777]

Check out his cover of Iron Maiden's Wasted Years.

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Yeah is a good stuff. This man is brilliant

[@wlgj1341]

Not a Cover..of course…

[@wlgj1341]

@@mrtv777 I Wrote the storyline, most of the big shots get these songs like this, Mother, Black Sheets of Rain, Nutshell, down in a hole..from Adams who arranged my storylines and sold them to the big shots…..I was responding to the Wasted Years reference, not this Rio cover …ulterior motives always with DRA..using the air time to cozy up to another prospective song-buyer ..but a prolific music explorer, none the less …don’t see that he pulled this off very well

[@written12]

I just did. It brought me here. Very affecting.

[@kirkangell9299]

Proof that Ryan could carry a second career as either a bluegrass Dio cover act or as a comedian.

[@klmscot1015]

He does have a fabulously wicked sense of humor and quick wit!

[@stormbringercoming8105]

Ronnie James Dio should cover this bluegrass standard!

[@fastra3621]

I bet he would if it wasn't for one thing....

[@fatherdirt2866]

This guy is just as wacked as me...Great Stuff ...

[@14wAYNE]

This is like Whiskeytown Mk2

[@Jess_Jones]

anyone know what brand his git-box is?

[@billhelmerich4295]

Looks like a Collings....nice ride.

[@torontolarrivee7965]

Collings D-1 (their take on the classic Martin D-18). I think it belongs to the guitarist of Infinite Stringdusters. This is a great performance - thanks to OP!

[@elenach.6693]

the cover is great but talking is too much !

[@thisperfectworld]

No.

[@ADDISON857]

Pfff😰it’s shame, sacrilege for a so wonderful song😡Ronnie Wild no PROUD... I’m is NOT, Not😱

[@herecomesaregular8418]

[@Kentucky-Talon7418]
