Orphan Girl (Gillian Welch cover) - Crooked Still

Crooked Still is a killer bluegrass band that my friend Peter Mensch turned me on to. See them live if you get the chance. Here they cover my alltime favorite country/bluegrass singer.

“ everyone wants a WebKit-based browser. It’s inexcusable RIM doesn’t get it. It’s inexcusable that people put up with a 2003 operating system with so many limitations and restrictions it would make Ahmadinejad jealous.
