"You tell me who was more personally committed."Īlong with some of them boys on fiddle and mandolin, Scotch set about learning the AC/DC songs and took their bluegrass interpretations to the wider world as Hayseed Dixie.
Ol' brother Hank was 29 years old when he drunk hisself to death and it took ol' Bon Scott of AC/DC an additional five years to accomplish that same thing. "When we first started listenin' to them AC/DC tunes it became revealed to me that the Lost Highway of Hank Williams and the Highway to Hell were the same road," says Deer Lick Holler's Barley Scotch. They took them home to the wind-up 78rpm gramophone and, by putting a finger on the shellac to slow it down, managed to decipher the lyrics. The dead stranger's legacy lives on because in his car some local boys found a pile of black vinyl records, all by AC/DC. So it was a significant day when a stranger drove into the valley on a crisp autumn afternoon two or more decades ago - and promptly crashed into the old oak at Devil's Elbow Curve and killed himself.
It's where musicologists go to study authentic hillbilly music - and be fearful of the sound of Duelling Banjos. The remote community of Deer Lick Holler in the Appalachians isn't on the way to anywhere, so there aren't many outside influences.
