Let's take a trip to a simpler time when your Saturday night consisted of taking your girl out to the VFW dance and dropping her off by her curfew or her daddy was going to be waiting for you on the front porch. The music to which you danced didn't bring you a care in the world. You were just happy to be there dressed in your best suit with your sweetheart on your arm. Do I know what I am talking about? Not really, but when I listen to The Preservation Hall Jazz Band's new tribute album featuring cameos from heavyweights including Tom Waits, Yim Yames, Andrew Bird, Jason Isbell, Del McCoury, Dr. John, Steve Earle and many more, it transports me to this blissful time. This is an album that you could picture your grandparents listening to on their gramophone. You should definitely check this album out and keep this simpler time alive.
New track off the former Drive By Truckers guitarist/vocalists upcoming release Here We Rest. "Codeine" starts off with a lonesome sounding fiddle intro and gets better from there. The best song about Codeine since "Sippin on Some Sizzurp." Give it a listen.
