If
If I
If I ever wander on by
Could
Could you
Flag me down and beg me to
Drop what I'm doing and sit beside you

So did
Did they ditch us and leave us with nothing to say
Where
Where we
Where we will wait for friends and family
To pass away or come in handy

Oh
Oh dear
A rotten summer, a rotten whole year
Where, where we wait for to lose our friends and family
To fame and fire, to dame or dandy
To pass away or come in handy

I saw Shakey Graves open for Lord Huron a few years ago and it was a solid pairing. 

I saw Shakey Huron and Lord Graves in concert. I didn't read the ticket info correctly. 
Would never have found this were it not for RP. Surprisingly, this band is really growing on me.

Shaky Hands are missing an "e", but they're pretty good, too.
How about play some Shovels and Rope (one of Shakey Graves' musical friends). Here's some tracks to check out:
 
 
Great live show performers.
 
 
Really growing on me... 7 bump to 8
Cool sound. It cracks me up every time I hear the AHH AHH part. LOL
Nurses are cool, like nuns.

Too little, too late!
Great to hear Shakey Graves here on RP. He's got a lot of great music to discover. Might I suggest Evergreen off of his most recent album?

I saw him open for The War on Drugs this past summer. He and his band were very entertaining!
I've had this at a 7 for a long while ... but I find myself really enjoying those first notes every time. So I just bumped it up to an 8. 
Has a Milky Chance vibe - in a good way.

For a second, I thought I was hearing Glass and Stone by Tor.
