    I never knew this song existed until like 3 days ago (February 2024). But it’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard!

    A true American storyteller. A minstrel with a guitar voice that is hunting and uniquely original. I am so sorry I never discover Dave until recently. He is one to be cherished as an American hero.
    God bless this man.

    Someday Dave Alvin;s name will be mentioned in the same breath as Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. I cant see him and Phil enough. Dave just did a 20 th anniversary King of California swing through San Diego. The best

      brings tears to my eyes, as a native Californian who studied the gold rush and appreciates a great storyteller, this one is my favorite.

      I'm right with you on that one, Earl! I was an early Blasters Fan, then a Solo Dave Fan, but somehow I missed this one and only heard it about a year ago. One for the ages.

    I have this DVD and remember being so effin' pissed off that I didn't know about this show... i'd have flown out from San Jose, CA in a heartbeat. I'd been up and down the western coast catching Knitters gigs, often time luggin' this man's equipment to/from the van.

    With Love and admiration Thanks to Dave for making my life in California a festival of songs.

      who did dylan imitate? All the great folk musicians capture such stories through time, thats the essence of storytelling, storytellers by tradition pay homage. If there’s any musician that pays homage to the greats, its Dave Alvin

    Dave's words capture life seen and experienced. Authentic tone is in each unique story. A real American Treasure and damn nice guy. I know, I've had the chance to meet him in the Blasters 35 years ago and on his own 18 years ago. Same Guy, different band.
