What's playing on your iPod? Old Crow Medicine Show

It's been awhile since I posted about what I've been playing on my iPod lately so I figured it was time.

For the most part during this time of year you will find me listening to Christmas music. I love this season of the year and will take any excuse to play last.fm's Christmas tag radio. When I'm not near the XBOX and last.fm I've found that I've been listening to Old Crow Medicine Show.

I discovered OCMS while listening to last.fm. I was listenting to Avett Brothers radio and OCMS came up a couple of times. I really liked them, enough to download their album O.C.M.S. and I love it! It's got this wonderful blue grass feel going all through the album with this hint of rock n' roll. And to top it all off I just love lead singer Ketch Secor's voice. My favorite song is a song that where the chorus comes from a Bob Dylan outtake from the soundtrack for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Ketch Secor later covered the song adding the verses and keeping the original Dylan choruses. Here it is for your listening pleasure.

 

 

Until next time!

What's playing on your iPod? The Avett Brothers

In honor of my recent purchase of tickets to see The Avett Brothers in October, (I am beyond excited,) I thought I would dedicate a "What's playing on your iPod?" post to them.

The Avett Brothers have been on my iPod consistently since I purchased my first album a couple years ago and fell in love. They are so many wonderful things that I love...banjos, harmonies, fun and feeling all wrapped up into one amazing, melodious package.

There's no denying that the sound that siblings make together is something special. We see it all the time in music and The Avett Brothers are no different. Their harmonies are wonderful and their country/rock sensibility just makes me smile. I can't wait to see them in concert. You can check out more of their music at www.theavettbrothers.com.

My favorite album of theirs happens to be Four Thieves Gone: The Robinsville Sessions, I think it might be my favorite because it was the first one I purchased but either way, it stands as my #1. Some of my favorite songs are The Ballad of Love and Hate on the album Emotionalism, At the Beach on the album Mignonette and 40 East on Four Thieves Gone.

Here is their newest music video for your viewing pleasure. It's not one of my favorite songs but at the same time it's charming and wonderful just like The Avett Brothers. Check them out sometime.

Until next time.
