Brilliant cover Kenny. I've been googling 2 chord songs for the Fest and was surprised this was one but it is ! Most excellent !

This is not a song you can pull off without a strong vocal performance. Congrats!

I've always had mixed feelings about this song. It's makes an excellent litmus test to see which of my fellow Americans are kind of stupid: the ones who think this is a patriotic anthem.

Cracking version Kenny. You sing with all the conviction of the mighty Bruce himself. He would approve I am sure. Great version hugely enjoyed.

Kenny, the only one who could do this song justice.
The vocs are strong. The main riff sounds a bit like it was played on bagpipes (!). I'm not sure if it's intentional, or not but it does add an interesting feel to it.

This was the first song that popped my mind as a two chord song. It hardly sounds like it because it's builds so cleverly.

I hope Bruce hears this one. Would be a magical moment if he'd ask Kenny on stage and sing this as a duet with him.

Like all the rest have mentioned, I never zeroed in on this song being a two chorder. Great vocal work and music Kenny...you hit the bullseye with this one!
