Locals Covering Locals Volume 2: The Whiskey Boys Cover Brian Carroll’s “This Town”

It’s ok for me to let this one slip out there…I have permission from the songwriter.

Someone telling you they think you are a pretty good songwriter or musician is a profoundly humbling feeling, but when a group of folks you respect greatly are given the opportunity to choose any song or artist to cover for a project and they ask if they can cover you…that’s a whole different level.

The Whiskey Boys did just that and I am not really sure how to describe how that feels. They took a song I have played with many musicians, even had one or two cover in the past, and gave it that flavor and power that only Dave Delaney’s arranging and vocal inflections can. Needless to say I am happy…more like flying with the treatment they gave this tune.

So, because I love you all so much…here is a sneak peek at Volume 2 of Locals Covering Locals to hold you over until the full thing is completed and printed in early Spring. Hear it for yourself and come to your own conclusions…
