What a great and interesting performance

[@Bwilliams2]

They are amazing

[@naknaksdadn572]

Wow! The variations, the movements!! So intricately done! Such beautiful artistry! It satisfied this musician's palate! So enjoyable Petersens! Bravo!

I have lived long enough to see and hear Queen meet Bluegrass! That was special! It's something like watching different species of animals come together and bond e.g., a cat and a chicken.

Please remember that this was a live performance (i.e. no Autotune or note corrections). It is difficult to imagine any of the top "popular" singers coming anywhere near the accuracy an quality of this performance. I love listening to anything that The Petersens do as they are so genuine.

Great point!

I really like these guys. I've been following them for a few years. For something that's so out of character for them, they did a great job on this.

[@georgepozega5267]

I have followed the group for awhile now! Love how they out their own twist on the songs they cover. This one was something really outside their typical covers but always like to hear bands make a cover their own!

[@johns1155]

Just go ahead to Branson and buy tickets to see them live. You will not be disappointed.

One funny thing about this cover is that the Petersens often claim they can never really play it perfectly - every performance is flawed, according to them. But they do it live in their concerts anyway - and it always sounds great to me. Ya gotta have some nerve to play that thing live, and they apparently have it.

That was absolutely amazing!! One if the best versions of this song I’ve ever heard!! Wow 🤩 ❤❤

[@pepevisedo7304]

Interesting. You've said it many times in your comments: it's the type of rethinking that a band with a background makes of a well-known song to turn it into something more of their own, closer to their experience. Maybe what it would have been like if they created it. The Petersens are risk-takers, no doubt.

[@sarahmgeorges]

That’s fun!

Jeff, we continue to enjoy your reactions. All the members of The Petersens are fine musicians. Emmett on dobro is stellar. But also consider props to Katie on violin - tasty musical phrases just pour out of that thing. (I've jammed with amateur musicians many times, and have heard quite a lot of screechy, or scratchy, or too loud, or out-of-tune, or out-of-rhythm violin. Hence really enjoy Katie's award-winning precision fiddle work.)
