Everybody's Talkin' - The Seldom Scene

Everybody's Talkin' - The Seldom Scene
3:16
Changes, 2019

It's Contraction Week! 

This song is from the Scene's (so far) last album, a collection of covers.  The band is one of the most famous bluegrass bands and has been recording since 1972, but I actually know almost nothing about them.  They really blue the heck out of this song, adding some lightning-fast fingerpicking and soaring harmonies.  I'm not sure they elevate it into something new, but it's definitely a terrific version, accessible while also being a showcase of serious musical skill.
