Always liked this tune, especially the REM version off Dead Letter Office.
Just me & my mandolin  in the car.

Great Hook! A very creative take on King of the Road! The mando and vocal are both killer...well done!!!!!!

[ODH]

Great version love the mandolin. Has a good authentic feel.

I'm very fond of the song, Tommy Fenderbender did the vocal for my version a few years back for the year I was born fest.

Great song & great cover. Done with really feeling, and that mando sounds so sweet - especially on those quick-strum sections (don't know the technical term...) . And a key change - flashy!!!! Excellent.

I do like this tune anyway and it's always great to hear how you interpret a song Hook. Yeah way cool!

Great fun version, takes me back to being a kid as this song was always on the radio. Excellent vocal performance, you must have been giving it some in the car!

This is a very good version. You have a knack for taking a tune and sending it to the next level.
I just recently pulled my Mandolin from the confines of it's case for forever it seems and I have
noticed one thing...damn these strings and frets are small. So now my journey begins to get
used to playing this thing again. Hopefully before the fest ends.

Anyway, great tune to cover and really good job of making it your own...yep you're King of the Hook
