Mary Erskine, out of that there Shadow Orchestra, alerted me to the existence of Andrew Bird, and we put this tune in a recent Shady Ladies podcast. I just love it – the driving rhythm, the plaintive vocals, the chugging percussion, and the awesome double bass-off towards the end.
I’m still working my way through the rest of his recent album, Noble Beast, but what I’ve heard so far sounds good too. Check it out.
