A Cover to End All Covers

I love Old Crow Medicine Show's song 'Wagon Wheel' a little too much.  It's been on every cd I've made in the last three months, it's in constant rotation on my ipod, and it can put me in a good mood no matter how low I've been.  I really didn't think the song could get better.

And then a friend sent me a link to Mumford & Sons covering the aforementioned song.

It blew my mind.

Judge for yourself.

It's been a long time since I've discovered a group that had this great an impact on me.  While I hope they find success as a band, I'd rather they never become the kind of group you hear on the radio.  Knowing they belong to the few of us lucky enough to love them makes me feel a bit like I have the key to a room no one else knows exsits...a room filled as much with heartbreak as it is with hope, as much with beauty as it is with sweet ache of breaking down.

Recent events--too common and too sad to detail here--have made it nearly impossible for me to stop listening to them and to this song in particular.  If my life had a soundtrack right now, this would be the band scoring the highs and lows.
