I’m just gonna sit this here for you.
You may consider this Folk Hive’s celebratory post in honor of one Shakey Graves (The Man, The Myth, The Legend) reaching his Kickstarter goal. COLOR ME HAPPY AS FUCK. So happy, in fact, I’m gonna re-write that sentence and add a goddamn exclamation point. This shit is serious now. Wait for it…
COLOR ME HAPPY AS FUCK!

Enough with Shakey Graves, you say? Fuck you, man. Get off my blog.
It is my opinion that this is THE SINGLE MOST WORTHWHILE project ever posted to Kickstarter and it is also my opinion that you’re utterly un-American if you don’t throw a couple bucks at it. What, you don’t hate America do you?!
Help FUND Shakey Graves first studio album, yo!
This. What I’m about to show you is what keeps me so head over heels in love with music. More specifically, the music of Shakey Graves. There is such beauty. I realize that’s all wide-sweeping and shit, but I’m am consistently confounded at the ability of things like a simple video to move me so far and so fast.
Yeah. Again, THAT. Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the man behind Shakey Graves, is apparently working on new material and dare I say, I love this song harder than I loved anything from Roll The Bones. And I fucking LOVED Roll The Bones, dudes. If the new album is anything like this individual jam, well fuck. It’s the oooohs that get me. It’s the Springsteen-esque growl that puts this eleven miles over the top for me.
Some more Shakey Graves, something for you to put into those headphones and move about to. I urge you, GET ROLL THE BONES and jump on the damn Shakey Graves train, ya’ll.

6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude.
From first listen, the man behind Shakey Graves had my undying devotion when it comes to music. No shit. For that dreaded American holiday we all endured a couple weeks back, we were gifted we a new jam from that man up there, via When You Wake and it was the bright shining spot during that day. That’s saying a lot — I’ve got a man around and I got laid. I fucking love Valentine’s now! Thanks Shakey Graves!
