History

The song represents great pre-Hot Rize country-bluegrass, with fun lyrics to a singable tune. Phish has performed it only once, in a unique set with some musical help from the likes of Dick Solberg (on violin and vocals) and Jeff Walton (on guitar). Often labeled erroneously as “Fast Train,” the song has also been covered by Willie NelsonTennessee Ernie Ford, and Commander Cody.
