dave rawlings machine

I heard this on Sirius-XM’s The Loft today. There was something familiar about it. Something earthy and 70’s, Eagles and country-tinged Stones (it would make a great Keef tune), maybe some Gram Parsons… the harmonies seemed familiar too.
It was the Dave Rawlings Machine. The song was “Ruby”. And by the end I was singing along to the great harmonies. Looking DRM up tonight, I found that Dave Rawlins has worked extensively with Gillian Welch and Old Crow Medicine Show. In fact, that’s why the harmonies sounded familiar – it’s OCMS providing them.
Check it out.

I never heard of Dave Rawlings. I loved this song. I must hear more. I’m also a fan of The loft.

Definitely sticks with you, doesn’t it?
For some reason, I didn’t really start listening to the Loft until recently. It’s now my #2 station (right after Howard).
