If
If I
If I ever wander on by
Could
Could you
Flag me down and beg me to
Drop what I'm doing and sit beside you

So did
Did they ditch us and leave us with nothing to say
Where
Where we
Where we will wait for friends and family
To pass away or come in handy

Oh
Oh dear
A rotten summer, a rotten whole year
Where, where we wait for to lose our friends and family
To fame and fire, to dame or dandy
To pass away or come in handy

How about play some Shovels and Rope (one of Shakey Graves' musical friends). Here's some tracks to check out:
 
 
Great live show performers.

Great to hear Shakey Graves here on RP. Might I suggest Evergreen off of his most recent album?

I saw Shakey Graves open for Lord Huron a few years ago and it was a solid pairing. 

I saw him open for The War on Drugs this past summer. He and his band were very entertaining!

I've had this at a 7 for a long while ... but I find myself really enjoying those first notes every time. So I just bumped it up to an 8.

Has a Milky Chance vibe - in a good way.

No other Shakey will ever measure up to Shakey Jake.

For a second, I thought I was hearing Glass and Stone by Tor.

In the realm of Lord Huron (or vise versa).  Either way very cool.

This is a bit of a departure for Shakey. I like it.




Bumped it to 8. It grows on you.
