Dead Skunk (Cover version)

Posted on by Standard Reply
Hard to believe, but that I hadn’t heard ‘Dead Skunk’ up until a few weeks ago when a true, proper Ice Road trucker in the bush in Northern Manitoba introduced me to it (we weren’t in the bush, though, we were safely ensconced on the Winnipeg-Churchill train). Loved it straight away (the arrangement on the original is fab, there’s also a very good version by ‘The Mountain Folk Band’ up on YouTube, check that out too, it’s brilliant). It certainly is a fun song to play. As for the video thumbnail, no it isn’t a skunk, it’s a racoon of course. And no, I didn’t murder that (I might have murdered the song, but you can’t pin that one on me). Thanks for checking this out, hope you like it.
