Music Saves My Soul


The Carolina Chocolate Drops are relatively new but they received a lot of attention in 2010. They played the AMA's and The Americana Music Association Awards and were huge hits at Bonnaroo.

I was disappointed that I couldn't find a better video of this song. The sound quality isn't too bad for a live performance recording but I don't care for the extended ending. Be sure to listen to the lyrics - I love them

If you want to play along and share a song, be sure to link up on Marcea's blog.
