I've been looking for this song ever since I saw the Nike hockey commercial between Kolvachuk and Markus Naslund.

The song is called "Don't Fence Me In".

I don't think this song was ever officially release so I may be wasting my time but I thought I'd ask you guys.

Thanks!

The original don't Fence Me in Was done by Willie Nelson and Leon Russell


HERE (http://www.weboshawa.com/don't_fence_me_in_guitar_tab.htm) is the guitar tab

As For Mooney This is what he said about his recording:

Did you record all of "Don't Fence Me In" for the commercial, or just a clip?

Sammy: We did a two-minute, 30-second version, and I didn’t know how the hell they were going to edit it, but I love their edit. They were originally going to do a full minute version of the commercial, and I was like, “that would be easier to edit, I can’t imagine how they’d do a 30-second,” but they got everything in, and it still has a nice pacing to it, and doesn’t sound completely cut to pieces. I think it’s great.

Are you going to release the song at some point?

Sammy: Probably. We’re doing it live now, we’re going to record it, again, now that it’s gotten some live time to kind of come into its own, and yeah, it’s a great song. I might change the lyrics so it’s not a cover, because the music is so distant from the original music, so if I change the lyrics and it’s not a cover anymore, who knows. I like doing a Cole Porter song, I like doing a classic, traditional. And that song has been interpreted by so many people from James Brown to David Byrne, Louis Armstrong, Roy Rogers, and Willie Nelson, and it’s like, I like contributing our version.

Wow thanks for the info...that's disappointing to an extent. The commercial version is so good. I'd hate to find out the new recorded version is totally different. Oh well.
