This was a nice cover song (50s I believe) that charted well and was featured in the movie by the same name...

I am usually not a fan of Spanish flair music, but make a strong exception here...

Deliverance.... to some like me, first means to be rescued from bondage of hell through Christ's redeeming blood...

To others, primarily it is a 1970s Burt movie with a cool scene filmed in rural Georgia where they play a rendition of "fuedin banjos" from 1955.

"Fuedin Banjos" later dubbed "Duelling Banjos" by a movie company that tried to steal the rights to it without paying the original writter Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith. The song first came to my attention when Andy Griffin played it on his show on one episode. But the movie "Deliverance" made the bluegrass sound famous worldwide.

Here is the version arranged by Eric Weissberg for the 1972 movie.... (album source, from a K-tel record at that)...

Pretty catchy and silly song released by Toto Coelo that never made it on CD...

Sorry...

Sorry I don't have a copy of this song to download...

Toto Coelo! One of my fave guilty pleasures was "I Eat Cannibal". What's next, some Hayzee Fantazee?

Thanks Corbe for giving the thread some balance, I don't post a lot of country flavored stuff just because I didn't explore that avenue much to be honest. I like older country a lot more now days.

Robin Gibbs released this extended in the late 80s to not much fanfare... it didn't chart well... but I really liked the B-side song from this extended release. After the flop in the charts, it was a decade later before Robin would release another album.

A-side that is pretty good
