There are a few other songs on the CD that are played on acoustic guitar: Bob Dylan sings Pretty Boy Floyd; Bruce Springsteen sings I Ain't Got No Home; and Arlo Guthrie does East Texas Red. In Hobo's Lullaby, Emmylou Harris sings and plays guitar, and Mark O'Connor plays fiddle. The fiddle comes in at the beginning of the second chorus, and has a solo between the chorus and the second verse. I think the vocals are double-tracked on the last chorus.
