The Castellows Acoustic Set: Red Set Girl, Miss America, Sheltered, Homecoming, Fort Worth 04-11-2

On their A Little Goes a Long Way Tour, The Castellows do a great acoustic set, often with covers and unreleased gems. Earlier in the tour the covers included Bruce Springsteen's I'm on Fire and The Chicks' Travelling Soldier. The unreleased originals included have included Miss America (check out the chords and lyrics here: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/...) and Homecoming where the audience is encouraged to sing along to the chorus ("Take me home, I've been away").
In Fort Worth, the gals Ellie (Eleanor), Lily (Lillian) and Powell Balkcom played Emmylou Harris' Red Dirt Girl for the first time publically. They also play Sheltered with Ellie explaining what it can mean, that is, a derogatory term used by some to describe home-schooled people like them, or something positive describing the growth and nurturing experienced in their upbringing/schooling. Nobody could argue being 'sheltered' is a bad thing after seeing these gals perform - what awesome poise and talent! They also played Homecoming in Fort Worth.

It is so refreshing and lovely to hear these 3 gals - they just sound so pure even when simply talking. Thanks for posting this.

The band's opening song fragment is "Shipping Up To Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys, 2006; in case you sometimes want to make a set list that includes this.

That sure is a great opener - perfect energy to start the show :) I have the Ann Arbor set list here in the description noting that one: czcams.com/video/8wH5QPaAvqE/video.html ... I learned that song name from Ellie's set list that I got! This gave me an idea = I should compile the Fort Worth songs into one full show (like I had done for Ann Arbor).
