Melissa Carper - "Borned In Ya" - Live at Acme Feed & Seed

Upright bassist, singer, songwriter, and national treasure Melissa Carper joined us for our Acme Radio Live-presented Americanafest showcase to perform a few numbers off her new album, "Borned In Ya." A true testament to the staying power of old-time music, Carper's most recent offering feels simultaneously vintage and refreshing. With a hard focus on traditional instrumentation and arrangement and a knack for writing a damn good song, "Borned In Ya" may very well be our staff's collective pick for record of the year. Here, the troubadour's trio performs the title track, and they sound mighty fine doing it to boot.
