"Breakfast With You," my new song!

"Wagon Wheel," Old Crow Medicine Show

Song: "Wagon Wheel"
Album: O.C.M.S.
Artist: Old Crow Medicine Show

Thanks to Dave for recommending this song. I'm a huge Bluegrass fan. I even played rhythm guitar in a bluegrass group last summer. I love the vocal performance on this. Like the song, it's unapologetically back woods. And, the harmonies are right on-- not trying to do too much but right where they should be.

In music, but in Bluegrass especially, there's a tendency for players to try to out play everyone on the planet. This is an example of how good a song can be if the band listens to each other, plays the song tight together and just lays down what's necessary and nothing more.

The O.C.M.S. web site is here. An interesting, short Wiki article about the history of the song is here.

Here's a you tube video:

Song: "Let Me Touch You for Awhile"
Album: Live
Artist: Alison Krauss & Union Station

I love this song mainly for what it is not saying. It's not saying; "I'll Love You Forever and For Always."

Yes, love is infinite like a fresh water ocean. But the water that touches us most profoundly is the small handful we reach down and take a sip from.

Today I need the kind of love you can drink.

Not enough could ever be said about Alison Krauss' voice, or Jerry Douglass' slide.
