Amazing band and True Gentlemen. When true music 🎵 was there. Nashville cats is a legendary song for sure

this was an old Loving Spoonful tune and loved them Nashville CATS and all the studio musicians

my dad used to sing me this song when we drove in the car in the 70's ..great memories :)

What a good old John Sebastian tune this is!

Amen! Love this song!!!

I accidentally ran across this episode when it aired. Their sound hit me in the face and I've been a fan ever since.

Gotta love Del!! When this album came out, I had it cranking one night, and my Siamese cat, Banjo, walked across the remote to the stereo and the thing went straight to NASHVILLE CATS!! Never will forget that!

Austin City limits.

He's clean as country water , he's under Grace.

They not only have to play and sing in harmony...they have to move about each other . ..good footwork too .

their picking & singing brings a smile to my face... been listening to this song for over 50 yrs...THANKS JOHN !

Another 6 Star perfect song from Del and the band!! LOVE IT!!

Got to hear this live in Jekyll Island. My alltime fav band. Every person is so talented and most kindhearted !!

The Lovin' Spoonful's version was a tribute to guys like the folks in this band.

Exactly!!!! This band performing this song is the ultimate show of respect and gives no greater a shout out than to do this song!!! For all the fools crying because Del McCoury didn’t specifically name drop Sebastian or thank him for writing the song don’t have a clue just what it means that Del is performing the tune at all. 💁‍♂️

That's some righteous banjo pickin' by Rob McCoury

LOVE MAH DEL MCCOURY!!!!! And his wonderful band/family!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

My favorite bluegrass singer is Del.

Got to shake Del's hand and pass a kind word back in 2001. What a gentleman. Everything you would expectl One of the greatest 30 seconds of my life.

Now that is the kind of pickin and grinnin I like That is country I would enjoy playing. It's not boring it's not depressing nobody lost their beer or girlfriend and it's upbeat.

The A.C.L. special was the first time I saw Del and the boys and I was floored! Jaw dropping musicianship and tons of fun. It really made me into a bluegrass fan, rather than just a casual admirer. :)

Amazing how this tune gets around! Fantastic rendition!

"Nashville Cats" was of course composed by John Sebastian and made famous by the Lovin' Spoonfull in the 1960s....

Del and the boys, Top band today !

Nobody could top this version.

Like they OWN this one!

Aw Man, this is great! a first listen, a Smile immediate

Wow, what a great band. Please keep playing.

Never heard harmonies better than this.

One of my favorites.

Great song and great version! It's of course written by a true New Yorker John Sebastian!

Thanks Nashville mom's!

Wow... That was awesome.

I discovered these guys a few years back when they did an album with Steve Earle (The Mountain). Then they did another one I liked with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. But, this is great. I bet it makes John Sebastion is proud

Hell yeah I'm an east Tennesseean. Proud as hell

Born and raised in the blue ridge mts love Del and the Boys

God Bless Del and his kin, Jason Carter is a superstar. love them, sjut saw them alst night at Rockygrew.

Excellent, thanks Del.

Tearing that fiddle up!

Ah those cat's ❤

So good it makes me cry...literally

I saw y’all at the Farm in Beaver, Arkansas, and they put on one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I saw them at The Grand Ole Opry with Steve Earle, and that was the best bluegrass show I’ve ever seen.

man! this harmony does crazy stuff to my brain.

bad ass at the freight tonight thanks del and band

I've seen them many times and they never disappoint - best in bluegrass in my humble opinion (and very personable and friendly with their fans)

LOVE that fiddle player

Unbelievable

this has been the version ive been looking for for YEARS since i saw the history channel's "top 20 songs about places"

Love Del ❤

Perfection is a genre unto itself.

so glad i know about del!

john sebastian --lovin' spoonful-- composition

Ol' Del and the boys do a mighty fine job, Yep!

great loving spoonful cover

Ed Sulluvan show with John Sebastian and the Lovin Spoonful. ❤

Oh yeah, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, harmony ~ :)

Del is the man!

Blue grass pickers are great!

@RedneckDrow1991 Flatt & Scuggs sang it in 1967. The Lovin' Spoonful sang it first, it's their song.

Just another FINE example of this band...WONDER who the 2 dislikes could be? Beats me how anybody could NOT like it...

MAGIC!!!!!

Real deal good ole boys

I remember Del McCoury's song Loneliness & Desperation from one of my Carmen Sandiego games & that song from Kidsongs.

it would have been nice if they'd have given credit to the writer and originators of this song. John Sebastian and the Lovin' Spoonful 1966.

Beautiful harmony. Gives me chills every time I hear it

Del Yeah! :)

Del is the punk music of bluegrass

great one!

Rob is the Man.

"Never,count the coast."

Great!

Check out The Earls of Lester today. They are like a Scruggs and Flatt tribute band with some monsters playin'. Shawn Camp (of Guy Clark fame) singing up front. Woo hoo.

You "don't know",,, but insist someone else is wrong? Sebastian wrote the song, Flatt and Scruggs turned it into a bluegrass standard and recorded it after Spoonful's version. It is attributed to Sebastian on their album.

written by john Sebastian and recorded by the lovin spoonful

thumbs up indeed

Great cover of John Sebastian’s song.

Mason don't you wish we could pick like that

If you listen to the Lovin Spoonfuls original recording, the pay tribute to the “Nashville Cats” by pronouncing It “Naishville” like a Tennesseean would.

Well done Cats!

Greaatt

There should be "reply" between, Like and Dislike. This band does a exemplary cover of the original... The Lovin' Spoonful w/ John Sebastian, lead singer, songwriter and musician. He wrote this song and preformed it in 1966. The original is a folksy/ country/ rocky?/signature style of John Sebastian. When you almost yodel and pick it out, it reminds me of Minnie Pearl / Chet Atkins. There were the best. However, when you have a frenetic pace to this song, it completing changes the intended impact/ feeling that the composer was conveying.

It would have been nice had he mentioned that the song was written by John Sebastian of The Lovin' Spoonful.

This must be at Austin City Limits ...I lived there

absolutely great @ 1:22

written by John Sebastian

I agree with Virginialogging completely.

Funny, I'm not too nuts about the style of the mandolin, fiddle, and banjo playing, but I can't argue against the fact that it works. I'd sure like to get to go to one of Del's concerts.
