Back home again. Whew. I don’t want to say I was tired, but first I was certain I had left my iPad in the restaurant in Nashville. I flew the whole way back to Austin thinking, “What a bonehead thing that was.” It was in the overhead bin in my briefcase. Duh. Then, I got in my car to drive to KNBT, to do my afternoon radio show, and went to pull my iPod out to listen on the way there, and couldn’t find THAT, until I got to New Braunfels and realized that it was in my briefcase, too. That’s why I always do an idiot check before I leave a hotel. You know you are tired when you can’t replay your actions in your mind’s eye. Autopilot much? The road. It beats you up, while it exhilarates you.
I love songs about the road, there are so many of them, but there is always room for another. Canadian chanteuse Kathleen Edwards gives a nod to the road on her new album Voyageur out today, produced with Justin Vernon from Bon Iver. There are tour dates all over the place, as you would expect, or you can catch her tonight on Letterman. Today’s song is “Change The Sheets.” Her official music video for the song can be found here, from her VEVO page. The version we bring you below was filmed at Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, NY (Long Island) on July 17th, 2010.
