Hard to describe this one. The musicality of these 3 humans seems to be summed up by this song and to see it in a live fashion, with the blend of voices and just 3 guitars. The song lyrics, the story, the voices, the harmony, the feel...just a perfect moment in time.

This one pushed all of my buttons. The pure joy that is expressed in this piece is mesmerizing. I know Sierra Hull was just featured, but this was one of the few times where even though I went to put this on "in the background" my whole world stopped for nine and a half minutes. The combo of funk, jazz and bluegrass fully captivated me. The totally nasty bass solo in the middle is something to behold. The control of the band, the way they flow in and out of required parts live. Pros all around!

Really after watching your react to Jason Isbell's "If We Were Vampires" I immediately thought of this song, "45 Years", by Stan Rogers. I think he is one of the best song writers of all time, and probably most have never heard of him. I found a version live and then reading the caption realized this was recorded just days before he died in a plane crash in 1983. This live version has two songs, both great, but if you want to skip to 45 years it starts with commentary around the 5 min mark and song starts at 6:20.
