After our long overdue college graduation, we set our sights far across the sea to the tiny, bear-shaped Emerald Isle of Ireland. ‘Twas there that we were so fortunate to meet one of our favorite bands early on in the summer of our demise; Lynched, a Dublin based Trad band. Within the small and empty pub, we shared tunes over dark, frothy pints, and it was here that we first heard our new friend, Radie Peat belt out this beautiful English ballad. The entrancing melody caught our ears and we quickly learned the tune, while adapting it to our traditional mountain sound. We visited the archives to find various sources and more information about the song’s origin. Like many songs during the summer of 2015, we learned and practiced it while dangling our legs off of the window ledges of our little apartment on Ely.

Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead.

I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
