Happy Friday, friends. As you all know, I hope for a somewhat broad range in taste when it comes to popular music. A few years ago I got on a bluegrass kick for a few months, enjoying music all the way from Bill Monroe and Del McCoury to Cherryholmes and Nickle Creek. While I appreciate the old, pure stuff, I am partial to "newgrass." One of my favorite bands of the folk/bluegrass/porch music revival has been Old Crow Medicine Show. Their self-titled album remains a go to for me when I am in the right mood.
Recently, I was introduced to The Devil Makes Three, a band that reminds me of OCMS. The group from Santa Cruz, California describes their music as folk-punk. As you can tell in today's pick (as well as with the Avett Brothers), the strange sounding combination works beautifully - not unlike french fries dipped in a Wendy's Frosty. For your enjoyment, I present to you The Devil Makes Three performing "Old Number 7."
