Now, this is a story!

It was written by Robin and Linda Williams, who sing it here, backed by some of the best session men in bluegrass. That's Jerry Douglas on dobro, Sam Bush on mandolin, and Stuart Duncan on fiddle, giving it plenty of Cajun flavor.

I think I even remember this performance. If memory serves, it's from a predominantly-bluegrass New Year's Eve concert -- 2007 maybe? -- which aired on PBS for Prairie Home Companion. Everybody brought their A game that night, and it was one of the shows that pushed me further toward bluegrass music.

This is "Rollin' and Ramblin' (The Death Of Hank Williams).
