What an incredible homage. I swear I think these guys are absolutely hands-down my favorite new band. Just an amazing use of a bluegrass sound. All five are truly great players…… Or should I say pickers

I absolutely love these guys and tonight is the first time I’ve ever heard of them. They are performing near me and I saw their name and looked them up and I just couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve always been a bluegrass fan but never heard any of them do rock covers like this and they are astounding. Hooray hooray for Green sky blue grass.🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’ve played with plenty of rock bands that cover I Know You Rider but most of them seem afraid of China Cat. I’m a keyboard player and figured out the Bob Weir part on piano in case I get to play it. I tried learning it on acoustic guitar and, aside from it being at the edge of my technique, I don’t have a cutaway on my Hummingbird and you really need one. This is so good I don’t miss the fiddle.

Why am I not surprised to hear a China Rider from them? See they're coming to town soon, know nothing about them, so figured I'd check them out. Guess I'll be getting a ticket. Not necessarily because of this, but it does show that there's a special place they come from.

Hunter did not write it. Bands don't pay royalties when they play another's song either. Grateful Dead Family Discography: I Know You Rider. The first occurrence of this song is in the book American Ballads & Folk Songs by John A Lomax & Alan Lomax which was published in 1934.
