It’s Monday, it’s cold, and a good song for this morning would be something with some bounce, good rhythm and warm lyrics to counter this creeping winter.
Here’s a fitting piece from the Be Good Tanyas that checks all the boxes while also standing as a classic song for any time of the year… The Littlest Birds from their 2000 album, Blue Horse.
The Be Good Tanyas are a three-piece from Vancouver, Canada with strong country/folk influences and a very bluegrass-ey sound to their work – easy, fun listening, nice variation in their songs, and music that takes me back to a time of afternoon barbeques and warm pubs in Croyde, North Devon. They’re very, very cool.
I dig this photo. Interesting looking people.
Well, here’s the song, hosted on YouTube. It’s a cool video with a slightly different rendition to the original album recording – try track that down too, if you can. Enjoy.
