Recommendation:Artist: The Be Good Tanyas
Album: The Littlest Birds
Song: The Littlest Birds
My journey around the edges of country music continues thusly:
I first became familiar with this song as a Jolie Holland tune off the original 89.3 The Current sampler. I always kind of liked it, and was seriously intrigued by Jolie Holland. I listened to more of her stuff, but I always had the feeling that her best stuff was around the next corner, you know? And then finally, years later, I discovered The Be Good Tanyas. I'd heard the name before (one of my all time favorite band names, not that I'd ever given them a listen) It turns out they're the band that launched Jolie Holland. It turns out on the Current album she was just covering her old band, and I finally found what I had been looking for all that time. Maybe she's like Garfunkel: a fascinating voice, but without the guidance of those who got you there, it's just not the same. This apparently original and vastly superior version of this song makes me want to dance naked in the woods late at night, though preferably without much of a crowd.

Do you know where I can get a copy of that 89.3 Current sampler?? I would LOVE to get a copy of the live recording of "Littlest Birds" by Jolie Holland, but can't find it anywhere! Do you have it??
