The Avett Brothers – “Spanish Pipedream”
From the upcoming John Prine tribute record Broken Hearts and Dirty Windows, North Carolina’s Avett Brothers put their signature stamp on this classic, which finds a “level headed dancer” giving a valuable life lesson to a “soldier on [his] way to Montreal”. Prine’s whimsical lyrics may not have jumpstarted the peach industry, but his songwriting left a mark on folk music forever.
