Anyone get the feeling this is just a good way to counter the "Freebird!!" calls?

Haha, great version anyway. John Cobbett touches something - turns to gold. Also Jesse Quattro did a great job on the last album, can't wait to hear more.

i like the arrangement, but thought it could have been a bit 'heavier.'
