I tell you. That North Carolinian record label that could – Ramseur Records is starting to rack up quite the artist arsenal. The Avett Brothers, The Everybodyfields, and now the quartet of Bombadil. Damn guys – movin’ on up.
There’s one thing I know. If I were to have successfully made it through college and rocked in a local band that actually made waves – I would be soaking my feet in some hot water with maybe some aroma therapy shit, whistling tunes about how life is great. But, that shit didn’t happen – college worked out, but being in a band is as much, if not more time consuming, than a collegiate level course load. That’s why Bombadil’s predicament should have them in pedicure heaven.
Currently schoolians of Duke University – Bombadil spend their time in between classes writing poppy folk tunes that feel whisked from the mountains and hollers of North Carolina. With a whimsical take on lyrics, a flick of the acoustic guitar, and a pinch of porch swinging casualness, Bombadil may take over as this summer’s soundtrack. Welcome them in with a tall glass of iced tea.

I dig the sliddy thing the bass player is doing in this song. Crazy.
