Had the good fortune to see Sam Bush as a special guest of Little Feat at their Feat Fan Excursion in Negril Jamaica, 2006. What a treat! Saw him last summer; he's gotten better!

[@JanF1957]

Same here. I saw Lowell George and Little Feat on the Waiting for Columbus tour, Dec. 78 in Norman, OK. And now to have Sam Bush playing it? Nothing like it!

[@mikemccoy3430]

I was at that show too!! They had half the arena closed off. LIttle Feat at center court.

[@aries749]

Sam Bush, always kills it!

[@notthebannerboys]

This is one of my favorite things ever. Thanks.

[@davidkeator6737]

I WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THIS!! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE COVER OF LITTLE FEAT. I FIRST HARD IT AT THE LONESOME PINE SPECIAL IN LOUISVILLE WITH THE NGR. YOU AND JOHN DID A DUET OF IT. BOTH MY SON, WHO IS ALSO AN AVID FAN, THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE PERFORMANCE. SINCE THAT TIME, THANKS TO PHIL WAKEMAN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HANG WITH YOU AND PLAY SOFTBALL,MUSIC AND ALL THE OTHER GREAT THINGS WE INDULDGED IN. ROCK ON THIS IS AWESOME!!! DAVID KEATOR

[@karlw7764]

I saw him at the Ryman in about 1994 as part of Emmylou Harris' band. He did this song alone onstage with the lap steel player and just crushed it. It was one of the highest energy parts of the show. Never forgot that.

[@tonygallo1104]

Sam Bush is the most underrated musician! He’s a quadruple threat. And yes this solo performance is killer. Saw him with his band a few years ago. One of (or best) sounding shows ever.

[@AfiScruggsplaysbass]

Absolutely

[@blueseruser]

Phenonomal!!! And pretty damn good, too,,!!!!

[@silverhawk3324]

Thank you Lowell George . . .

[@teenut7024]

Love Sam Bush with his antique Gibson mandolin! They go together just like peant butter & jelly! SWEET! 😋

[@hippo1948]

Way to go Sam, your ability to use the mandolin to acompany your singing opens a whole new arena for the rest of us. Keep pickin and singin!!!

Sam Bush will be with Yonder Mountain String Band at The Vogue Theatre in Indianapolis, IN on Feb. 13, 2014 at 8 pm. Tickets are only $20. The Vogue is a great venue to see Yonder Mountain up close. If you haven't seen Yonder Mountain String Band in concert... GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!

[@mybluegrass777]

wish he'd play this in concert

[@DustyWright]

@notthebannerboys I agree. I was lucky enough to see Lowell George and Little Feat perform back in the mid-70s. Sam takes the song to a new place. Too cool.

[@johniac7078]

My musical hero.

[@RitaReaganUnderhill]

Looking forward to seeing him at "Live in Livingston" on May 4 in Livingston, TN

[@sarahbaughn7245]

Can't wait to see him at ROMP in Owensboro, KY. June 27, 28, 29

[@TheCenturySentry]

that's some beautiful mandolin.

[@eslmc]

"Close enough" Yeah Sam, I'd say!

[@gordonford3933]

Little Feat is my favorite band and Bruce Hornsby is my favorite solo artist. But Sam Bush takes this sound in a different direction and I am in a state of euphoria, ha, ha. Well Goodle Days and other tracks are cool as hell too. I saw on the internet him playing with Levon Helm an the Ryman Auditorium. Sam Bush is the best blue grass around.

[@lilskyn]

Nice !

[@j1thom]

Close enough indeed!

[@Ruhrup]

Sam's the man!!

[@buttmuffins3586]

“Close enough”, lol. Get him in Madison WI this Thursday 😁

[@strivefree1245]

awesome!

[@davemesker9600]

Wow

[@beccam.6910]

@mybluegrass777- Sam Bush has played this in concert......years ago. I have seen him twice when I was younger about 12-14 years ago and yes, sailin' shoes was played.....both times. It is too popular a song with him for him to not play it.

[@VonBluesman]

This is cool.

[@MrDel1969trotter]

SUPERB

[@michaelmadlin]

oh yeah!!!

[@GMAW56]

@puffdusty JEALOUS!!

[@PeteG04]

[@TheRealForrestGeorge]

Lady in a turban, cocaine tree Does a dance so rhythmically She's cryin', and a singin' and having a time and gee that cocaine tree look fine You've got to put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailing shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes Jedidiah, he's got a dime Says he catch a more fish, every time Well I've got a line, and you've got a pole And I'll meet you at the fishin' hole You've got to put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailing shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes Doctor, doctor, I feel so bad This is the worst day, I ever had Have you this misery a very long time? Well if you if, I'll lay it on the line You've got to put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailing shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes > I went down to the crossroads Fell down on my knees I went down to the crossroads Fell down on my knees Asked the Lord above for mercy "Save me if you please" I went down to the crossroads Tried to flag a ride I went down to the crossroads Tried to flag a ride Nobody seemed to know me Everybody passed me by I'm going down to Rosedale Take my rider by my side I'm going down to Rosedale Take my rider by my side You can still barrelhouse, baby On the riverside You can run, you can run Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown You can run, you can run Tell my friend-boy Willie Brown And I'm standing at the crossroads Believe I'm sinking down

[@halbrunson1786]

Nah . . . boy can play, but he ain't been nowhere where Lowell or Robert wuz . . . ain't no sold soul . . . ain't no reflexions . . . ain't no aftermath . . .

[@cahabadata2102]

while Sam is great - this is the most ridiculous style to cover this song....although I suppose that cocaine tree sure looks fine and makes you want to play it fast!!!

[@sethaubuchon]
