Check out this cover from one of my favorite newer bands! Remember that this was performed & recorded LIVE! I don't give a flook what kind of music you're into - this band is f*ckin' HOT!!!!

Last, but not least, the best song about war I ever heard -

It's like they're 2 completely different bands, yet nearly all their material wows me, either musically, lyrically, or both.

Thanks for sharing this. Never heard of Carbon Leaf before. Not my cup of tea musically, but certainly technically awesome.

Phillby,I really like them...they remind me of a celtic band I jam in ocasiionally. This reminds me that I haven't been to the jams in a while...should give them a call. They have a Celtic jam on Sundays and the same band plays a rock venue on Fridays.

My wife heard the live broadcast of Crazy Train last year, & bugged me about 'em until I looked them up. I thought their original stuff, which was all I could find at the time, was rather emo-ish. I like it though.

Finally found the CT tune yesterday, & OMG was I surprized at their musicianship.

I just wanna shake the hand of the mandolin player to see if some of that magic will rub off.


Rat - that band reminds me of Hayseed Dixie. Have you heard of them?
Here's some -
