When I finally got leave my mom came and picked me up to take me home. Everyone in my family was always so worried about me, but my mom told me "I never worried for a second, your a toughy, you'll pull through anything wants you get going". On the ride she played this song, first time I heard it. When ever I hear it now I think of her. She's in the hospital right now, I can't see her, but listening to this reminds me that she's tough to, shell get through this fine and I'm going to learn to play this. it will be the first song she hears, so she knows I had no doubts.
I was at High Sierra Music Festival when I saw the Wood Brothers for the first time and this song and it literally changed my life. I was going through some really hard times and their music literally touched my soul.
"One More Day" was the song for me...going through a very rough stretch--Wood Brother's music touched my soul--got me through and reminded me--just gotta give it "One More Day" Sing About It..and I don't have to hold Atlas' world up :) ~ Karen Palmer
It is so good to hear honest music instead, of all of the contrived, pretentious crap that is force fed to the public by the record companies. These guys play from the heart and gut of music. I was a side man for the blues legend, Yank Rachell for 25 years, until his death and he was the soul of heart and guts in music--he would be proud of these fellows. Keep-on-keeping-on. Great song!
Saw them for the first time at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival several years back. And their sound is just genuine, real, honest. I didn't realize I was thirsting for such music at the time, but I had found it.
Strange, I was about to leave a comment about how this song found me at the right time. Then I saw most of the comments are of the same sentiment. This song came to me at the exact right time in my life. It speaks to me and reminds me to stay true to my course and calling. It's absolutely invaluable to me.
Just saw this song live at WWG.... I was hoping they'd play it, and they dissapoint!! Tears erupting from me in gratitude, cuz I gotta soul that I won't sell🎶💜🌟🌟🫂
This song was written by the Wood Brothers about seminal Southern musician originally from Southeast Gulf Coast Texas to Memphis by way of Macon and to Atlanta. He released hit tunes in Texas in 1962-1964 and formed Eric Quincy Tate while in the navy and organizing from Corpus Christi to release an album in 1970 produced by Jerry Wexler Tom Dowd and Tony Joe White. Then in 1972 on Capricorn Records named Drinking Man's Friend produced by Paul Hornsby. Then EQT in 1975 on GRC Records produced by the Lowery Music Group and Sonny Limbo. Then Can't Keena Good Band Down in 1977, an 8 song EP on SLI Records. Later several reunion and anniversaries were released. EQT produced a video in 1973 , Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, a 4 song live TV show, videos and DVD of reunion concerts plus a never released video history to be named The Missing Link of Southern Blues Rock of the 70s. EQT and Donnie were always unfortunately ahead of the wave in time of popular music, always successfully followed even copied.
Donnie McCormick, leader of the Eric Quincy Tate Group originally from Kingsville Texas then Memphis and then Atlanta to be closer to the Capricorn Records organization which managed them from 1969 to 1974. Big every honky tonk from Texas to the Hudson River Valley but no national hit recordings but quite a number of regional. In 1975 achieved #44 but their recording company went belly uo.
Thank you so much for this! As I repeat many times, we are all ONE in the Love of playing and enjoying music that comes from the SOUL. You are part of our 'family of choice" which makes you appreciated even more. Please continue to inspire all with your TRUTH as that is what keeps us alive. Be well~
Hi Gary, For whatever it is worth--Yank Rachell, composed the opening tune for the original Blues Bros movie. The song was entitled: "She Caught The Katy." He also performed with Sleepy John Estes and Sonny Boy Williamson. I thought that you would like to know--be well. Dave
Saw this guys open for TTB last year and kicked myself for not having seen them 100 times before. Go see them at your earliest opportunity. It's amazing how good 3 expert musicians can sound live.
Wriien about Texan Atlanta musician since 1968, Donnie McCormick leader of Texas band The Kings since 1962 from Kingsville and Corpus Christi Texas and founder of Eric Quincy Tate via stop in Memphis for a year and then Atlanta since 1968 released albums by Atlantic Records, Capricorn Records, GRC Records, Bill Lowery Music Group, SLR Records, Eric Quincy Tate Records, and solo since 1982 except for EQT reunion records, solo by various studios until death. Except Group with Oliver Wood, Donnie McCormick, and several others who released solo cds.
Dave, Thank you for the history! I watched the video on RUclips "Yank and the Pig", about how he got his first mandolin and listened to some of his music, I have become a fan!

I failed to mention the name of Donnie McCormick's the song writer, demon drummer, banshee wailing lead singer, and the leader and band conductor of the seminal act signed by Tony Joe White and Phil Walden in the summer of 1969 right after the Duane Allman contract, the formation of the Allman Brothers Band, the contract with Otis Redding's Band who did a fabulous early album released in 69 or 70, the signing of Hornsby, Chuck Leavell, Sandler and the Cowboy band. About same time as Livingston and Alex Taylor. Phil thought he would get both Kate and James Taylor but lost out to Columbia and Apple Records.
Andy Dennen yes I’m a guitar fanatic learning postcards from hell an the capo is used to bar a frett (make the guitar have a higher pitch or noise making it easier to play high notes)
The man was the leader and drummer of Eric Quincy Tate, a white act signed by Phil Walden before the formation of Capricorn but after signing Duane Allman to firm a band and what ended being Cowboy, Sundown released on Ampex Records, Martin Mull, Alex and Livingston Taylor, and an excellent black outfit who originally hired Otis Redding and signed with the second Capricorn Records and I simply forget his name but the 1st Capricorn/Atco Records released album was Son Ton, White Witch, Captain Beyond, and Jonathan Edwards. An excellent west coast jazz trumpeter also signed to the original label named Eddie Henderson.
How many more Oberlin educated heepsters does uh toob have to put in my rotation? I hardly needed the warning. P.C. from heck indeedy. White Peoples, JEESH........
@@thmer9 the lyrics have not been "stolen" they are about Donnie "Mac" McCormick originally from close to Brownsville Texas playing the State and Louisiana as the leader of The Kings beinning as a garage band in 1958, who first recorded in 1962 and joined the US Navy from 164 to 1965 along with 3 other Kings serving on the USS Essex an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean and up the Atlantic Coast to Norway regularly playing from Greece and Crete to Malta and Sicily and the Mediterranean Coast of both France and Spain then around Gibraltar playing every weekend developing the Eric Quincy Tate Sound. Upon their release they bought a nite club in Corpus Christi Texas. They were discovered by Tony Joe White who talked them into two things, one, t hire better keyboardist and bassist, two, go to Macon Georgia (where is that?) to cut demos and meet his manager Phil Walden formerly Otis Redding's manager along with Sam and Dave, Booker T and the MGs, and other r and b, blues, and soul artists. But EQT was signed before Walden had Capricorn Records and their first album came out in January of 1970 on Atlantic Records and was produced by Jerry Wexler. Their second album was released in March of 1972 and they unfortunately were lost in the huge amount of bands on Capricorn. They received their release torecord elsewhere in 1974 and released their third album in 1975 with two singles and the album charting in 1975 but GRC Records went bankrupt. Even because the story lasts longer that is all that you get from me. All songs come from a mixture of plantation blues, white men singing black songs.. Donnie McCormick became a legendary singer and drummer and also playing a wooden chicken coop. Like the lyrics say he sang like a choir and a woman's highest pitch. He had the charisma to make it but he liked his notch. The sog is a great mixture of a nigger Africaner! Case closed!

Dead and gone
Waow so deep
Me too...discovered this band through my son at a really tough time in my life a few years ago; still leaning into their music.
you literally use literally in the wrong way and too often.
These guy's quickly earned a spot among my favorite bands!
I love this song irrationally. Absolutely perfect.

Interesting. I thought it was about the guy who was the opposite of Robert Johnson who allegedly sold his soul at the crossroads to the devil.
Just been gettin into some good blue grass lately and stumbled across this little gem of a group. I dig there style for sure
Brilliant song, great story about a great man. God Bless Donnie Mac.
Who is this song about? I looked up Donnie Mac and got nothing relevant..... Just curious.... Love a story behind a song!
Lunkenville my guess would be robert johnson

Thanks for mentioning Yank Rachell, I've been a blues fan for a long time and had never heard of Mr. Rachell!
This is the most amazing song.

you write that Oliver? I love it, moved me more than I can say. Thanks.
dang...nice bow work
Wood Brothers and Mumford and Sons....great combination :)
WHERE?
Mr Bojangles was supposed to have been based upon some old, od timer! If true I don't know but listening to the song I hope it's.
justified
Everytime i hear this song I'm 100% convinced that it was written about Pat Reedy.
Y'all look so young! This was posted over a year before I heard you on the ray-dee-oh for the first time. xo Great moment in my life. :-)
I could have sworn this was written by the late John Prine.
Would have been funnier if it was.
i love this song i bet my dad does to XD
I really enjoy when talented musicians and film crew make a video of a great song in a dungeon with stone walls for the WORST acoustics you can find
love everything about this.... that capo...anyone know what that is?
Andy Dennen yes I’m a guitar fanatic learning postcards from hell an the capo is used to bar a frett (make the guitar have a higher pitch or noise making it easier to play high notes)
No dislikes? ok, that's logic right there! :D
Dude using the table and lights as an instrument lol. Great version of this song.

wow
sounds like N.C. by Daniel Kachamba
I was hoping to find the Zebrahead version. But stumbled on this.
a documentary should be made, of me traveling around and punching "9" deserving people in the face -
I'll star in the sequal, knocking some sense into 24 other dimwits...
omg the funniest response EVER
The lyrics may be yours but the music is that of Daniel Kachamba from Malawi
Diggin this a shit load ;)
YES! I am the 666th like!
Donnie Mac!
"use a breeze for a telephone wire..."
This....
effortless.
wow you won't guess what I said before this
Oliver wood looks like a blonde professor Snape
Uncle Tupelo fans?
I love these guys. Great songwriters. It's just, the lead singer is perpetually flat.
Catchy. BUT they ripped this from Daniel Kachamba's N.C. And they have no respect to even credit the source
Hannah sent me, not really but kinda
How many more Oberlin educated heepsters does uh toob have to put in my rotation? I hardly needed the warning. P.C. from heck indeedy. White Peoples, JEESH........
Stolen tune. Check out Daniel kachemba. Straight stolen from him.
ruclips.net/video/xPv1meU9iTQ/видео.html
For sure stolen from Daniel Kachamba, the song is called N.C
this is not original
this is a not for note rip-off of a poor central African guitarist!!! horrible
Poor African guitarist named WHAT?
@@rexfelton2312 Daniel Kachamba, the song is 'N.C.'
