An overlooked cover tune XXIII

I hadn't imagined Nick Lowe's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, And Understanding?" with bluegrass instrumentation, but Lucy Kaplansky and company cover it that way.  Kaplansky's vocals convey the sincerity of the lyrics, and Larry Campbell accompanies her on fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and dobro.  It's a highlight of Kaplansky's "Flesh And Bone" CD.
