Well it's no Union Station, but it's not bad. That splitting of one syllable into two gets a bit grating though (knows - know-ho's, wine - wah-hine etc). Backing track does sound generic. Interesting how a British rock song got picked up by bluegrass artists.

I love union station! I saw Alison Kraus live when she was 16 :-) She got up on stage with the Seldome Scene live at the Birchmere in Alexandria Va and played the fiddle, she was awesome! You could tell she'd been playing that thing since she was a child. I have tremendous respect for fiddle players, it's an impossible instrument to even attempt to play. And yes! Manfred Mann did it first :-) But it's better as a bluegrass song IMO, and no fewer that 100 grass bands have recorded it. That's a classic! Thanks for stopping by James, and tell Tim I said hello if you speak with him.

Remix #2, I pushed the LV just a bit harder.

Remix#3, added a vocal track? :-) I think it's cooked... 
 
That's as good as I can make it in 2 days man? I could do more with more time, and more knowledge but neither of those exist.

**Edited yet again...**

It actually came out better than I thought it would? :-) Especially after a few remixes? 
 
I put my own take on it, toward the end, I added some vocal parts. And some harmonies that aren't normally in this tune. 
 
Just like a fox on the run...

God bless harmony...
 
She was lovely? 
 
But she left me like a fox on the run...

Perhaps one of my best to date? I've listened to it may times? It seems to get better each time? -) I don't mean to be "that guy?" But this is pretty ****ing good...
 
Well maybe I do mean to be that guy?
 
You can catch lightning in a bottle if you're in the right place, at the right time.
It's pretty damn good? I set out to capture it as a bluegrass classic? And it is...
I hope I've done a bit more...
 
You've got to love a classic? 
 
You try to feel it? Then you try to "feeeeeeeelllll it...."
You can't lay down over a cover unless you spank it's ass first!

I did want to comment on this song as I felt like you deserve kudos for creating such a great, fun mix. It's sublime. (WordWeb says sublime means "1. Worthy of adoration or reverence, or 2. Vaporize then condense right back again"). Very well done Robbie!

Hey there reb, thank you sir, it was a fun one :-) It's fun to go to youtube and type in "fox on the run" with the added parameter -Sweet and scroll through the results of all of the big and small bands that do it. My dad always wanted me to learn to play  the banjo and I never picked it up, even though I do play many other instruments. That banjo seems like it would be tricky. Not as tricky as the fiddle, but it seems like it would be a challenge.
 
Good times, you've got to love grass. But I also really enjoy almost every genera except maybe rap/hip hop. Not a fan of the rhythmic speaking thug culture. Working on a Gospel tune for Christmas 2014 God willing. It will be in this style.

BUSTED!

Started playing the banjo tonight (I hate it, it's too hard. I can play the keys, and lay down a string track, that's easy) The mandolin is fun and not to difficult, the bass flows from me, my first instrument was guitar, I'll probably add a dobro and I may try to land a fiddle playing friend :-) But the damn banjo is going to be days... It has to sound like a banjo player "unfortunately." BIAB may be worth it just to get a banjo player and a pedal steel player, Herb releases some pretty amazing tracks with that stuff. 
 
Unfortunately, it will no longer be pooped out in a day
