Paddle faster, I hear banjos!

Ah, Deliverance was a funny movie, don't you agree? Gotcha.




Have you ever heard this song played by actual hillbillies? I didn't think so. The Band did great, but the best "Up on Cripple Creek" I ever heard was actually in Cripple Creek, at a mule race. The singer couldn't really sing worth a damn, but the banjos (yes I said two), awesome upright bass, and perfect bluesey, sripped-down drumming just made it... right.
