Preservation Hall Jazz Band & Del McCoury Band - I’ll Fly Away

yesterday i downloaded the album “American Legacies”, which is a collaborative effort by these two bands (a jazz band and a bluegrass band, respectively) and it’s just really cool. i don’t always go for jazz music—or bluegrass music, to be honest—but for some reason, the mix of the two genres on this album is totally doing it for me.

anyway, i thought i’d share this particular song, because, well, it’s a version of “I’ll Fly Away.” and there is always a place in your life for another version of “I’ll Fly Away.”

    This is so awesome - not even the song so much as all of it. I’m a big fan of mashed-up musical genres :-D
