My favorite concert last year was The Big Surprise Tour - which included Justin Townes Earle, The Felice Brothers, Dave Rawlings Machine, and Old Crow Medicine Show. They played lots of old favorites, but one new song they played and I immediately loved was "Ruby." I couldn't wait to post it here and download a copy. Except. I couldn't find it anywhere. I was so bummed out.
Then, this morning on my way to work - I recognized it immediately! "Ruby" by Dave Rawlings Machine was playing on the radio. And alas, there is finally a video so you can check it out too. Oh and you'll probably recognize her in the video - the incredibly talented Gillian Welch is part of DRM.
So without further adieu ...
You may know this but I'll throw it out there. Dave Rawlings has produced for Gillian and Old Crow Medicine Show. He's also written songs with Ryan Adams - here's Dave Rawlings Machine performing "To Be Young (is to be sad,is to be high).
And for the encore, let's play "Bells of Harlem"...
P.S. Alycia - I think you need to invite Dave Rawlings Machine down to Blackshear. Gillian Welch looks like she could use some of your mom's southern cooking. And as a thank you, they could put on a show at the hay barn. :)

Not sure it would work. Gillian and I have a similar body type, not excluding the flat chest, and I've been downing that food for years. Thanks for posting this. I missed these guys when they came to town and have been regretting it ever since.
Wow! That made my day. The Machine was down in Oxford maybe two years ago but it was only a duo. I would love to see this full band thing.
