Willie Nelson with Ray Charles - Seven Spanish Angels

Railroad Earth playing Grateful Dead's Casey Jones

RRE was at HG last night. Someone asked me what kind of music it was. I didn't know. This is from their website: “We use unique acoustic instrumentation, but we’re definitely not a bluegrass band – so that doesn’t fit. And I think the term ‘jam bands’ probably refers more to the fans than to the bands. I think these fans just like live music.”

This is my favorite song ever written. Dylan wrote it and Nanci Griffith does a beautiful version. I always thought it would be cool as a duet. I don't know who these people are, but they do a pretty good job of it.
