This alternative version was nearly an instant reminder of the song Laid by James while sending me back to the days of listening to a particular live album by Rusted Root freshman year in college. Accompanying John on guitar is David Ryan Harris, bass Sean Hurley, drums Aaron Sterling, and finally on keys Chuck Leavell adding a whole new sound to the mix. Full download of the show available here.

Couldn’t help but respond…ABSOLUTELY!“Anybody out there, anybody out there been through a whole rud of bad relationships but now think they’ve got it? Anybody out there been through a whole line of heartbreaks and shake-ups and break-ups and make-ups and fuck-ups and everybody think now, now they know how to do it? ‘Cause I think I figured it out. I can’t explain it, I think I just know. If you think the next time is gonna be the best time, if you think the next time is gonna be the best time, if you think the next time is gonna be the best time sing along with what I say…oh oh oh oh oh…
