    WOW!! Julien Baker...I used to work at guitar center off Stage rd/64 (outside of Memphis) and she was a youngster in there buying up effect pedals. I remember helping her often bc she had really good taste in pedals and knew her gear! Congrats to you and all your success!! Love the cover and it appears you're surrounded by AMAZING SOULS 👏

      I saw her close for Lucy Dacus in Richmond a few years ago... she paused the show for like 5 minutes when her pedal board was glitching... despite encouragement from a tech to just move on with what she had, she FIXED it, saying she wanted it to be perfect for us. It was so cool

The violin (I think? *tips head* could be viola) just MAKES this song and I always have this half-idea that they're like "hey, do you know this song?" and she's like "I mean, if I don't, I'll make something up" because it literally feels like she can improvise along with anything.

    I often wake up with country songs from my childhood; my mom's music; stuck in my head. Usually it's infuriating, soulless, overproduced Nashville pop country. Sometimes it's the Chicks or other great stuff. Whenever it's this song, and it often is, I'm glad. And this is the best version of it I've ever heard. Fantastic.

      If you want to check out their solo stuff they’re amazing! The one who starts out singing is Julien Baker and she has a very sad discography (I’d recommend everybody does and appointments). The second girl is Phoebe Bridgers and she’s more folksy artist (I’d recommend Scott Street and Smoke Signals). Lucy Dacus is the red lipstick one and literally everything she does is gold!

      She is Lucy Dacus. Wonderful voice. And further to the comments below, check out the Brooklyn Steel Pitchfork Live Boygenius concert on CZcams from Nov 2020. Each of these gifted artists performs a 30 minute set of their own material with their own bands, and then they come together at the end as boygenius and perform their entire EP. It is magical to say the least.....

    Those little giggles at the end of the song just help emphasize that those absolutely amazing musicians are just young girls. Blows my mind how good they already are!
