damn, the haters out there...get a life... saw these guys twice this year,twice before that. don't play often, usually in sc, usa. they are more rockin live than on cd. i agree they need someone playin a whiskey jug, maybe i should volunteer, or for cowbell. you would be suprised that they don't wear overalls and chew 'bakky', unfortunately they are quite the opposite. went to school with one o' them. "captain bluehair" was our chorus teacher and a damned good one at that.
our newfound hormones, well, you know what that leads to. not my favorite song on the cd, but not my least,either. "morgan n me" brings back some bad memories and is kinda wimpy, but at least talks about an actual acid trip...(the stars-chasin lights). anyone serious about gettin a cd, email me and i'll try. pretty sure outta "print" but with permission i'll see what we can do. ok, fire up the 'sleepin with yer cousin' rants, haters flegen
 
Fine, I'll get a life when you purchase a grammar dictionary and learn how to communicate properly.
Heard this song for the first time a week ago, reflects my exact sentiments of what I want when I go. I've been searching all over for the lyrics (no luck), have tried to write them down but some words aren't clear to me. Can anybody help?

I needed to hear Crazy Train by Ozzy to reflect my perspective to perceptions of inner and outer reality.  
Where can I get this??

Not too far off, I think these guys are from Greenville, SC.
I've never heard this song before. I really loved it. Hit me well as I am going to a memorial for an artist friend tomorrow. Will there be dancing? Knowing DN it is a possibility.

 
I think I'd actually listen to country & western before enduring this.......

Me too.  I dig some bluegrassy tunes, though it's best live, in person!

 
wow. what a sentiment!  Please dance on my grave.  Lots of fun
Never heard it before but digging it.
Still loving this song.
I would be happy to dance on your grave if you just promise to stop singing.

Please make it stop! I had to hit PSD TWICE!
Really? Why not play some Little River Band?

First off, no one you quoted used the word "there" so that sardonic gesture actually makes you look pretty dumb. And after we die, there's probably just nothing, meaning that none of us will care. Because we will cease to interact with anything, even the neurotransmitters governing emotion, or the connections housing our memories. Hell, even your self pitying whining will dissolve into nothing (I know you don't have any privileged information about this, because you're still here, leaving stupid comments). Thus, the only thing we as living creatures associate with goodness or happiness which will be left behind are the memories or good things your existence left behind. So go ahead and be a tiny criticizing and fearful baby, wailing and trying to leave a dark mark on those who are sad or care enough about you to listen, but I hope those I love can take some joy in the fact that when I'm gone from the fact that people like me made the choice to enjoy every second life. Also you suck.

I like alt-country a great deal.  This however, is just hick drivel.  I can't rate it zero, but that's what I think it deserves.
Turn it up!!

"faux bluegrass" love it.  give a certain sound type of music a name, and then not let music that sounds like it in the group.  better than that, use a french word to describe an amerian band playing american type music.
I like this song.  I should have recorded it, since I can't find it.

Another one of my funeral songs is 'Bury Me Deep' by Poi Dog Pondering.

You can purchase the album "KPIG Greatest Vol 2" from Amazon. Never seen this before but if you go to this link you can listen to the entire album, including "dance." https://www.bluebeat.com/albums/35217
Just click on the "play album" link. It will ask you to register for free and you can listen to all the songs. Would be nice if it were available on I-Tunes or something.


I can't find this song anywhere?  Anyone know where I can find it?  Thanks.


Jim Nabors does blue grass.  A solid 5, just cause they sound like they're having fun.

Yeah Bill, LOVE this... but can't figure out where to buy it! HELP!

No kidding.  Why do we have to be subjected to this mediocre crap?
These guys remind me of the Grateful Dead with a little Ozark Mountain Daredevils thrown in.
A nice energy and a great sentiment. Sure is a lotta hatin goin on below.

My Great Aunt (now long deceased) moved to S. Texas riding in a covered wagon (literally) and when I was a little boy she would sometimes talk about when she was a girl and how they lived. In the old days, when people died on the trail or in poor communities they would bury the body as deep as they could, pile rocks or logs on top of it in the hole, then stand around and pee into the hole on the body, fill it in, and dance on it and when they left they would drive the wagons and horses over the grave. Sounds strange until you realize that they didn't have stone burial crypts or metal coffins and that the coyotes and carrion eaters would smell the decomposition and dig the body up and eat it IF they could get to it. The logs and rocks would make it difficult to dig down to the body and all of that peeing, dancing and driving the horse/oxen teams and wagons over it was to pack the ground down and mark the "territory" (with the urine) in an attempt to keep the animals away.

Very cool, great story. Makes complete sense. I suspect some folks may dance on my grave for other reasons though... Love this song, and the sentiments thereof. c.

cute the first time increasingly annoying every time after that..... especially that awful background singer. oh well, it looks like a paul simon song is next, that will be better. :-)

Yeah, that's the hook: the song takes something negative and recasts it as a positive (celebrate my life, don't grieve my loss). Easier said than done, but that's life, isn't it? I want this played at my funeral, though it will have to be "snorkel over my grave;" I hope to be made into part of a coral reef.
Utterly dire in every respect. Why don't these redneck boys just keep this tosh to themselves instead of recording it and forcing it upon the rest of the world?
This will be played at my wake for sure

My condolences on your loss. And my congratulations on your smile. Your Dad appreciates it. c.
I love this song. Like 'Bury Me Deep' by Poi Dog, it turns a burial into a celebration. I want this and 'Bury' played at my funeral. Loud. c.

I can't think of a better example of a song I like for the message or sentiment, to the point I can overlook it's shortcomings from "technical" or stylistic standpoints. My dearly loved father died two months ago, after a painful bout with cancer. While he most likely never heard this song, and certainly never suggested the family dance on his grave, I can fundamentally relate to the message of this song, at least as I interpret it. My heart-felt joy and thanksgiving for the life of my father is certainly expressed in this song, though our graveside experience was more "traditional" and solemn. The sorrow comes easy, so we need to make a point to embrace the wonderful memories, celebrate our loved-ones lives and rejoice that the pain has passed – at least I know I do. This song helps.

OK then, I'll dance on your grave if you promise not to sing at MINE.
Great transition from T Bone Burnett - Over you. Neither song is exactly my style, but they really complement each other.
This one with the Death Cab Cuties played earlier made me go in and take my blood pressure just to make sure I would get through the night alive. Now all we need is one of those goth girl hurling cutting sylvia plath wailing song "I'm so misunderstood and everyone thinks i'm (skinny/fat/ugly)" songs to cap the climax. Here's some hurling OK, now here is some cutting: How about everybody talks about me? Love is Cruel:

That's almost ignorant enough to be something I would have said a long time ago. The fact that his profile lists his interests as "attempting to play blues guitar," is absolutely delicious.

I wish I could! hehehe j/k But really how long did it have to go on!?!?!? ;-)
I love bluegrass, but this has a manufactured feel to me. Almost a parody of bluegrass.
God (Dess) like! I'm spending -(scratch that) Investing! my 47th birthday listening to RP and pondering what I want out of this life. this song says it all for me. Please dance on my grave! And in this moment I'm listening to Joan A and the tears are rolling down! Thank you for sharing your passion. Paul
Lousy bluegrass, typical strained vocal harmony - why is this on RP?
Might not be the best bluegrass, but the spirit of the song raises your feelings regarding our impending date with destiny. Isn't it great to feel that your death can be cause for a celebration of your life?

RP is eclectic. Other people may like it. Me, for instance. More importantly, and to answer your question, Bill and Rebecca might like it.

This is the second time I have heard this song on RP. I do not normally like bluegrass, but this song feels special. I had to give it an 8 Too bad I cannot seem to find it to buy on any .mp3 site.. sigh dance on my grave anyway!
I noticed I have rated this to a 2 previously. Now I feel more to like it, so it gets a strong 6. This really shows me that my likes and dislikes are depending mostly on my mood. Except for 9s and 10s, that determine my mood!
