If your like me, your always on the hunt for music that peaks your interests, something new you haven’t heard before yet still somehow sounds familiar, something that restarts your life, something that inspires you.
The Felice Brothers have done that for me. Most especially their song ‘Frankie’s Gun.’ It’s phenomenal on the record and even better live.
Think Old Crow Medicine Show and the Avett Brothers mixed with basement tape era Bob Dylan and the Band and your getting close. Loose, raw, free, rugged, beautiful. Check them out.

It’s not necessary for us to think that we can do only one thing, and suspend everything else.” -Barack Obama
