"Down Home Girl" (cover) - Rainbow Girls

"Down Home Girl" is one of the cover songs off the new Rainbow Girls cover album, "Give The People What They Want," released feb. 22, 2019.

________________________
This song has been a long time coming for us rainbows. Originally recorded by Alvin Robinson in 1964 and covered by The Rolling Stones in 1965, "Down Home Girl" first made its way to our awareness via Old Crow Medicine Show's 2006 version. But every version of this song seems to be prime - it's just that good.
We learned the song and made this video in the same afternoon, sitting on our back porch in the countryside north of San Francisco. (Tractor cameo by our dear friend, Steve Shoulders.)

This song is my 18 month olds kryptonite. He can be knee deep in a mother of a tantrum, but as soon as he hears the intro he just stops and slowly starts smiling and dancing.

"Down Home Girl" was written by Jerry Leiber and Artie Butler, originally recorded in 1964 by Alvin Robinson, and in 1965 recorded by the Rolling Stones on their second album "The Rolling Stones No. 2". Pleasure watching and listening, ladies. I heard it first from Old Crow myself. I cover it often. Wonderful harmony.

Everytime i watch the video it seems to me that he waits to start the tractor until the second tgey stop playing. He needs to work but he doesn't want to mess up their recording snd so it works out so perfectly that he starts tge engine right at the end of tge song. I think they should leave the tractor in on the album! Seriously, think about it.
