Hehe. 200th week. You go bfv.

Shakey Graves is a one-man multi-instrumentalist band, typically rocking the guitar or banjo, a couple of foot pedals, a sidekick drum, and a tambourine. Practically all of his songs compel me to air guitar. Since I listen to most of my music these days in the car, I air pick my steering wheel. First-up on air guitaring duty rotates, but currently it's "If Not For You"

Every time I look, it seems like more and more people know about Shakey Graves and Tallest Man on Earth. Obviously, I'm okay with this.

I've been a fan since 2012. I'm a little less OK with it, in a completely selfish way, in that shows are cheaper and further flung between.

What are your favorite tunes of his?

I think my two favorite songs of his are Roll The Bones and his duet with Esme Patterson, Dearly Departed.

Those are great choices. You didn't ask, but my favorites are Family and Genus and this rendition of Word of Mouth -- prime yodelling along.

Dude. Good choices. And you're right, I should have asked. I'm sorry. I'm a bit foggy headed today.

Hahah don't worry! I was just being cheeky.
