Bob, don't you recall those horrific covers on that tape that was treed a
couple of years ago? I'm thinking of the Canadian tribute album. Every time
I think of someone from a completely different genre recording a song that
is completely different from their own makes me cringe a little.
I do agree that Born To Take The Highway would work well as a bluegrass
song, maybe a little banjo work from Ralph Stanley, who knows.
