A friend just tipped me to a new Nashville band whose single came out today (with the album to follow in a month). THIS. FUCKING. SONG. How can it be so good?

Yeah, they acknowledge the Dire Straits/JJ Cale/Grateful Dead inspiration themselves, but that's a good thing. When was the last time somebody wrote a song like this? (Probably happens frequently, but I'm missing them all.) Anyway, early contender for fun time jam of the summer imo.

Maybe I'm overselling, but there's not one out-of-place detail in this song. The energy is right, the construction is right, arghhh... it's so basic, but so thrilling.
Listen to it or don't. But listen to it.

these guys are dope. "working together" is maybe too 80s grateful dead sounding, but solid. i like their boogie woogie number, "get down"otm that they are doing the basics, but doing them well.

they have some great tracks on their soundcloud, "something good" "lord have mercy"

Said friend is doing their cover art, so I expect it will look wonderful. Can't wait to hear a bunch of their stuff in one chunk.
