Haven't done that one live in, yeah,
probably close to 10 years.
So there you go.
There you go, 2020.
Just for you.
Earlier in quarantine,
I recorded a version of an old song,
an old traditional song
that I sang a lot with my band Crooked
Still.
We had an arrangement of that
song
that we recorded on our album
Shaken by a Low Sound.
And just recently,
I did a little version on the piano
with Corey on the bass from Crooked still
and we kind of recorded it,
you know, virtually
and I can't find the right word.
And it's getting released soon
but I think if you bought a ticket
for this show
you may already have heard
the piano version
because we were
kind of doing a giveaway
and I'll do that for
you guys right now.
Ain't No Grave is gonna hold
my body down.
Sing along if you know it.
