This is an authentic way to portray this song, in my opinion. If I was showing my first graders the storybook of John Henry, they'd enjoy your version. I sing it so fast I'd lose your bluesy effect. Nice!

Really fine picking, John, and the vocals were right on too. Bringing back the great treasure that was early bluegrass.
