I recorded this take live on the porch here at the Girardeau House. (More news about that coming soon!) I decided to keep the audio raw—crows and all—because some songs aren’t meant to be polished. They’re meant to be felt. The driving rhythm of the clawhammer banjo has always been the percussive heartbeat of the mountains, and “Which Side Are You On?” is a line in the sand that never fades.
This is the start of a new chapter. I’m heading back to my roots to find the music that actually matters in times like these.
