    That was verrry good. Enjoyed playing guitar along with the music. Now, to check Google Play Music to see if I can find their albums.

        Yup. already halfway through! Though, gotta say, those live performances blow the recorded versions outta the water.

          You're preaching to the choir there! I much prefer live music to studio albums, especially since studio albums these days tend to be pretty soulless from being incredibly overproduced, and sounding too "perfect" thanks to Autotune and the like. IMO it's the flaws that give music its character, and you pretty much only get to hear those flaws during live performances nowadays.

    Oh damn, nice! Anderson Paak and the Free Nationals first appearance is probably my all time favorite NPR Tiny Desk performance: Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

    It's extremely rare for people to get a second appearance on Tiny Desk too... AFAIK Chris Thile has been the only person to ever have more than two appearances so far, and the only reason he did was because he is involved with so many other bands and projects (Nickel Creek, Punch Brothers, his solo stuff, his project with Yo-Yo Ma, etc)
