The Weight: Gillian Welch and Old Crow Medicine Show

I was shown this video by a fraternity brother a couple years ago. He knew that I was a huge fan of OCMS and thought I mite enjoy the song. In my opinion this is the greatest version of this classic song I've heard and one of the greatest songs I've heard period. The melodies of all the different string instruments combined with the beautiful voice of Miss Welch and the crazy good voices of OCMS make this a phenomenal live tune. Now I'm no music enthusiast and am not going to even attempt to break down this song critically, but I do know a good song when I hear it and this is certainly one of them.

I wanted to make a post about it for three reasons; one, it is a perfect song to listen to on a cool Fall day, two, I just wanted to share it with anyone who hasn't heard it, and three, I am hoping that someone will tell me how I can find this song to put on my ipod. I've looked for this song on itunes and every other resource at my disposal to try and get it on my mobile devices but have had to settle for youtube every time I want to hear it. Anyways, please enjoy.
