No, that started with "Broken down in Baton Rouge..."

And "Me and Bobby McGee" was also performed by Kris Kristofferson (and if I'm not mistaken, he also wrote it) and Roger Miller.

What genre is it?
Country, rock, rap, what?

If it's hip-hop or rap; forget it - I'm done!

There is a link to 'hear it now' on his site, but I don't have the right player here at work. New album won't be released until Sept.
Just on the radio now.

A blatant rip off of the Travelling Willburys...can't remember the song though. The opening licks reminded me of Mustang Sally but once they started singing I knew where they got that from.

Ya might be on to something here, last night at about 4:17 am at work I heard it on the radio but it didnt sound right, i thought it was too early for a remix or for someone to "rip it off" so i guess the version i heard was a rip off to begin with,

thats ok I like the new version better.


I'm going to bed now, man graveyards lick cheese at times
