Family Folk Tunes

I caught this track over at the fantastic Naïve Harmonies’ Fine Tune Friday last week, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s a granola track from Akron/Family, a group I’ve never gotten up the mind to check out. I think I was always a little intimidated by the slash in their name. Seems like a lot to handle.

Foolish, clearly. This track is wonderful – a folksy melody draped over a hand-shaker and simple percussion backdrop. Great lyrics, a smooth set of pipes, and a track that I keep coming back to. Set ‘em wild, set ‘em free indeed.

Gotta get my hands on some more Akron/Family. Apparently there’s a new album coming out in October – anyone have any suggestions for back catalogue in the meantime?
