Dawn Landes - Young Folks (Bluegrass Cover)

Band: Dawn Landes

Location: New York, New York.



I got into the Peter Bjorn and John craze a little late I think. I forget which video linked me from YouTube in the first place, but I remember feeling like I stumbled onto something a little unsettling. I actually got a hold of their album with Young Folk's on it and gave it a spin. I enjoyed it for the most part and even put some songs out on mix tapes. Today I see the full spectrum of PB&J and realize that every corporate rock cock sucker from here to Manitoba has been hearing it on heavy rotation, not to mention the poor kids all over Europe. I know how those foreigners like to blast not only the original of a hit song to death, but they continue their assault with numerous dance club remixes. If my guess is correct, Young Folk's probably has it's own dance to accompany it somewhere.

I present to you yet another Young Folk's remix, the only one I will endorse. Of course, it's blue grass. That's the only response that would have proved me alright.

Dawn Landes has some nice original music as well, she had a spot on SXSW. If you want her MP3 for Young Folk's, which is very recommended, you go seek it out! You can be responsible and buy it on iTunes, ahem, or you can be cool and find it for free. We have the technology. Also, you can enjoy the Beirutish acoustics of "Traffic" or the 1990s status of "Kissing Song" all on her website.
