1970, 1971, STARTED BUILDING HOUSES LIKE ALL GOOD HOMESTEADERS DID IN THOSE DAYS, INTO THE 1960s AND EARLY 1970s.

I GOT A HOLD OF MY BROTHER WILLIE, HE WAS IN CALIFORNIA PLAYING MUSIC AND HE CAME AND HELPED US OUT, AND HAMMERED A FEW NAILS AND WE STARTED PICKING TOGETHER.

WE HAD ALL PLAYED IN DIFFERENT BANDS BEFORE.

AND WE JUST STARTED PICKING TOGETHER INFORMALLY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WE DECIDED WELL, WE HAVE GOT A NICE SOUND HERE, WHY DON'T WE SEE IF WE CAN GET A FEW JOBS HERE AND THERE, AND WE WENT TO ALL THE NIGHTCLUBS AND THE BAR ROOMS AND SO ON AND WE TALKED SOMEBODY INTO LETTING US PLAY FOR $20 AND ALL THE BEEF STEW THAT WE COULD EAT, AND WE PLAYED A NIGHT OR TWO THERE, AND HE SAID WELL, OKAY, I WILL KEEP YOU ON AND YOU CAN PLAY EVERY WEDNESDAY SO WE LOOKED UP ANOTHER OLD FRIEND THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD MUSICIAN AND WE SAID YOU ARE GOING TO PLAY THE BASS FIDDLE, AND HE SAID I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, AND WE SAID WE DON'T CARE, YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN THAT.

SO WE STARTED THIS QUARTET THAT WAY, AND THAT WAS OH, AROUND 1972, I THINK WE GOT GOING, AND WORKED AS A QUARTET FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.

A DIFFERENTLY FELLA PLAYED BASS THAN OUR ORIGINAL BASS PLAYER STARTED PLAYING THE FIDDLE, AND WE BECAME A FIVE-MAN GROUP AND WE WORKED THAT WAY SINCE WITH A FEW CHANGES IN PERSONNEL, BUT WE HAVE BEEN A FIVE-MAN BAND NOW SOME MIGHTY FAST HORSES RUNNING WILD IN THE HILLS OF MEXICO THERE IS NOT ONE WITH THE SPEED AND THE BEAUTY OF THAT WILD KENTUCKY ROAM IS BETTER LEAVE THAT HORSE ALONE BECAUSE YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO CATCH HER SHE'S A WILD KENTUCKY ROAM EARLY IN THE SPRING I WAS RIDING AT MIDNIGHT NORTH WIND, CHILLED TO THE BONE THE HORSE OF HIS OWN STARTED JUMPING AND WHINING, THE WILD KENTUCKY ROAM THERE IN THE MOONLIGHT I SAW HER BESIDE US, HER EYES SO BROUGHT THAT THEY SHONE THE WILD KENTUCKY ROAM NOW WE ARE FLYING ACROSS THE PRAIRIE I CAN'T SEE THE HORSE ALONE ONCE YOU SEE HER YOU WILL WANT TO RIDE HERE CINCINNATI SHE'S A WILD KENTUCKY ROAM ALL THAT NIGHT I WAS RACING THE DEVIL RIDING FASTER THAN I HAD EVER GONE AND THEN CAME THE DAWN, AND SHE WAS NOWHERE AROUND US THE WILD KENTUCKY ROAM SHE'S FLYING ACROSS THE PRAIRIE BETTER LEAVE THAT HORSE ALONE YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO CATCH HER SHE'S A WILD KENTUCKY ROAM [YODELING] I WAS RIDING FREE ON THAT OLD ST TO A SOUTHERN TUNE WHEN A MAN CAME ALONG AND MADE ME PARK MY SONG [YODELING] [YODELING] [YODELING] >> THAT WAS A TUNE CALLED "WAY OUT THERE" DONE BY THE SONS OF THE PIONEERS, AND THEY WERE A GROUP OF WESTERN SINGERS, AND THEY WERE THE KIND OF GUYS WHO WOULD ROPE THE DOGGIES DOWN ALL DAY LONG AND HAVE PLENTY OF ENERGY LEFT AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN THEY WOULD HANG OUT BY THE CONESTOGA WAGON, AND THEY WILL BE HEATING UP THE HAM AND BISCUITS AND WIPING THEIR PANTS UP WITH THE BISCUITS, AND AFTER THEY HAD DONE THAT AND HAD THEIR FILL OF THE DAY THEY WOULD SIT BACK ON THE PLAINS AND THE PRAIRIE AND MAYBE THROW ANOTHER MESQUITE LOG ONTO THE FIRES, THE COYOTES WOULD HOWL IN THE DISTANCE BEYOND THE HUGE CACTUS, THAT'S RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT ASSISTANCE, WILLIE IT, SOUNDED HIGH AND LONESOME.

AFTER THEY HAD DONE THAT THEY WOULD PLUG IN THEIR ELECTRIC GUITARS AND SING WONDERFUL VOCAL MUSIC, AND IT WAS KIND OF WEIRD AND ODD AND QUESTION LIKED THEIR TUNES VERY MUCH.

THE SONS OF THE PIONEERS.

AND RIGHT NOW WE WOULD LIKE TO DO A TUNE FOR YOU A MODERN TUNE BY RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSON, WHO ARE CONTEMPORARY SINGERS AND SONGWRITERS FROM THE BRITISH ISLES.

WELL, THERE IS A LITTLE STORY BEHIND THAT SONG.

IT'S WRITTEN BY A GUY NAMED MICHAEL HURLEY.

MICHAEL LIVES IN PLAINFIELD, VERMONT.

A GREAT SONGWRITER.

PLAYS GUITAR AND SINGS AND HAS SEVERAL ALBUMS AND PLAYS, AND I FIRST HEARD MICHAEL THREE YEARS AGO IN A BAR.

WENT TO HEAR HIS BAND PLAY.

AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I WAS NOT THAT IMPRESSED FOR A WHILE.

I ENJOYED THE SHOW.

BUT I WAS NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSED.

AND THEN THEY DID THE WEREWOLF.

AND I WAS ALMOST ON THE FLOOR.

I SAID I LOVE THAT SONG, AND I HAVE TO PLAY WITH THIS GUY.

I HAVE TO PLAY MUSIC WITH THIS GUY.

SO I HAD TO, I GOT TO HEAR HIM SEVERAL TIMES AND GOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF AND CRASHED ONE OF HIS JOBS ONE TIME PLAYING CORNETTE.

JUST JUMPED UP ON THE STAGE AND STARTED PLAYING, AND AFTER THAT HE HIRED ME TO PLAY SEVERAL.

I PLAYED FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH HIM.

AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THE SONG AND NEVER HAD A BAND THAT COULD REALLY GIVE IT, ITS FRIGHT FEELING, I DIDN'T THINK.

WHEN I JOINED THIS BAND I INTRODUCED THE SONG TO THESE GUYS, AND IT'S REALLY DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE DO.

ESPECIALLY IN FEEL, I THINK, YOU KNOW.

IT'S JUST MUCH MORE INTENSE THAN MOST OF THE SONGS THAT WE DO, AND IT TOOK A LITTLE CONVINCING, BUT PRETTY SOON EVERYBODY WAS ON THE BANDWAGON AND I THINK THAT IT'S ONE OF OUR FAVORITE SONGS TO DO.

OH, THE WEREWOLF COME STEPPING ALONG HE DON'T EVEN BREAK THE BRANCHES WHERE HE'S BEEN GONE HUGE -- YOU CAN HEAR HIS HOLLER FROM WAY ACROSS THE MOON MOON AS THE SOUND OF THE WEREWOLF WHEN HE'S FEELING BLUE HE'S A HOUNDING WHEN THE BATS ARE ON THE WAY AND IT KILLS SOME BEFORE THE BIRDS SING OH, THE WEREWOLF OH, THE WEREWOLF OH, THE WEREWOLF, HE'S SOMEONE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME OH, THE WEREWOLF HAVE PITY NOT HATRED OH, THE WEREWOLF MIGHT BE SOMEONE THAT YOU HAVE KNOWN SO NEAR OH, ONCE I SAW HIM IN THE MOONLIGHT WHEN THE BATS WERE A FLYING ALL ALONE I SAW THE WEREWOLF THE WEREWOLF WAS CRYING CRYING NOBODY KNOWS, NOBODY OF MY PAIN WHEN I SEE IT HAS RISEN, THAT FULL MOON AGAIN WHEN I SEE THAT MOON MOVING THROUGH CLOUDS IN THE SKY I GET A CRAZY FEELING THAT I DON'T KNOW WHY OH, THE WEREWOLF OH, THE WEREWOLF COMES STEPPING ALONG HE DON'T EVEN BREAK THE BRANCHES WHEN HE'S BEEN GONE OH, THE WEREWOLF OH, THE WEREWOLF COMES TRAVELING ALONG HE DON'T EVEN TOUCH THE LEAST WHEN HE'S BEEN GONE ROLL ALONG MUDDY RIVER ROLL LOOPING MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON I HAVE GOT A BABY IN TENNESSEE WHO HAS BEEN WAITING FOR ME OLD MUDDY RIVER, ROLL ON OLD MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON NEW ORLEANS MINNEAPOLIS, TOO BASH IN -- BACK IN NASHVILLE I WILL BE THERE ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON I HAVE GOT A BABY IN TENNESSEE WHO HAS BEEN WAITING FOR ME ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON I LOVE YOU BUT JUST CALL IT FATE YOU AND I ARE GOING TO SEPARATE YOU WILL BE HERE BUT SHE WON'T WAIT SO ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER, ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON I HAVE GOT A MUDDY RIVER I HAVE GOT A BABY IN TENNESSEE WHO HAS HAS BEEN WAITING FOR ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER ROLL ON >> FOR MORE CLASSIC PROGRAMS, VISIT
