"Daniel & The Sacred Harp" (new version by Chris Coole)

In March, 2011, we had a duo peform for our Bozeman Folklore Concert Series. Chris Coole, who lives in Montreal, also had his solo CD with him. I purchased a copy. On it, he did this version of the the great old song by The Band. Thought maybe you fellers might like it. Does you know the chords? This version is a bit easier to figure out, as it somewhat simplified. Of course you cannot ever replace the great memory of hearing Rick and Levon swap out the lines. Or Garth's squeeze box reality he put to it. But this is a good version, and the story still makes me wanna dance up with them whiporwhills, fiddle (or harp) in hand. Look up Chris Coole at www.chriscoole.com. He is very well thought of in the clawhammer banjo community. And I enjoyed getting to know him. IF he is in your neck of the woods, poke your beak out and give him a listen!
