Folk Alley Sessions: Birds of Chicago - "Remember Wild Horses"

[@surferbeto]

This song broke through a dam in my heart to a place I'd almost managed to forget, and an ocean of sorrowful tears poured out of me. I guess I can carry a torch with the best of them. Now that is some seriously great songwriting! I didn't think my weary heart could feel this much any more - but oh yes it can. Wow.

[@jimmonize2617]

Touché

[@EdwardWinters-m4c]

This is what we need to hear on the radio these days.

[@4thThe5th]

THESE GUYS NEED TO BE FAMOUS!!!!!

[@JustLikeGreta]

They are and have been (in my mind)

[@TheVeek192]

You want. That's not the same as what they need.

[@cloudygirl66]

Sometimes fame destroys the beauty.

[@eekowarrior4409]

Amazing how what is a very specific personal lyric can have such a universal impact. The moment when JT and Alison kick in with the chorus for the 1st time is electric

[@SPSregister]

I love everything about this, but harmonies, especially the trill in Alison's voice every time she sings "under free blue skies" in the refrain are absolutely amazing

[@sd200man]

I wish I could give this a thumbs up every time I listen to it. Love it.

[@electraguy1]

At the Kingsville Folk Festival last Saturday afternoon, I heard five minutes of their sound check, trotted to the merch tent, and bought all their CDs. They absolutely knocked out the crowd that evening. Astonishing live sound, with a resurgent spirit that hit everyone deeply. Don't miss them!

[@StevieStirrup]

Just in time! Was in need of a new band to obsess over!

[@jonasjarvis]

I listen to this song every day. It's so cleansing and beautiful.

[@joeschermann7729]

Powerful. Gets one right to the marrow.

[@dopamining7621]

Whoa. What? You guys are my new favorite band.

[@eekowarrior4409]

The way two such different voices work so well together is magical. True chemistry. Good luck in the lockdown guys.

[@aaronnorris3091]

These guys will be famous!!!

[@amy83079]

I have just discovered these guys and I’m blown away! I ordered their albums online and now I’m headed north on I-75 in Michigan to get lost in Wild Horses for about a dozen hours! What an incredible special gift of music!

[@benjo71472]

Saw them live last weekend in Northampton, MA--AMAZING! Instant fan for life. They write with heart, feeling, and literary depth... and their harmonies blow me away. Shamefully, the music industry today will not likely support broad fame, but they deserve to be a household name. If you are just discovering them, buy their albums! You won't be disappointed... see them live too... a whole other level of experience!

[@justmenpm144]

Love it ❤️ I always looking for good music... I am a big elvis fan since I was six but there are so many great musicians like Tracy Chapman, Morgan James..... And these guys!

[@Mar108108]

Just when I think I am over crying over this song and these beautiful voices I start being touched so deeply again.

[@AlysterGynn]

Did I mention that I love these guys

[@piniped]

Got tickets to see them in July - excited...!

[@amy83079]

The most amazing thing I ever heard! Still can’t get over this!!!

[@Bluemax760]

Mind-blowing and very touching. You guys are the best!

[@salparadise1242]

Damn - you made me cry . . .again.

[@magwhls]

Thank you for this beautiful, beautiful song. It touches me so deeply. One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@mikeh2786]

These guys are outstanding---my best music discovery of the year---BY FAR

[@raycote100]

Knocked it out of the park at Calgary Folk Festival 2017. Teamed up with Barney Bental & Jim Cuddy & Yola Carter maybe the best show of a fantastic festival.

[@paulwhite959]

[@charlesott2840]

I love these folks and have for a couple of years. But underneath the beautiful singing and playing, I can't make a bit of sense out of their lyrics!
