A few days ago, DNA talked about a cover he's been working on for the new record. That cover is nearly done. "Big Bad John" is a song DNA listened to since before he was born, and is one that DNA couldn't wait to put his imprint on.
"Big Bad John"
If you note at the end, DNA sings, "At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a man...Big John," which differs from the recorded version. In it, Jimmy Dean says, "At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man....Big John," but the times being what they were, he couldn't say "hell" to describe some one, even though earlier in the song, "hell" is used in its more literal sense---to describe a worthless pit being a "man-made hell." Go figure. DNA has it on good authority that "hell" was the way to go at the end.
Tell me what you think about it. The original is one of DNA's favorite songs, and he doesn't think he's heard anyone else try to any kind of version of it other than a "country" version.
