Artist: Rising Appalachia
Song: St. James Infirmary
Album: The Sails of Self

Like you’re sitting on a front porch in the Smokey Mountains the song picks up with brushes on a snare and a stand up bass and immediately takes you back. The ladies, Leah and Chloe, come in bluesy and mysterious.

It gets more sultry with a vocal/saxophone duet which leads to a funky improv solo. The lyrics feel as vintage as they sound, telling a story. The song slows down replacing drums with a tambourine and swayed lyrics.
