Live session with Hiss Golden Messenger. Recorded May 24, 2014 in Hilversum. Setlist: Lucia (0:54), Jesus Shot Me In The Head (5:44) and Brother, Do You Know The Road? ft. Amsterdam Klezmer Band (12:10).

Hiss Golden Messenger’s fifth album, ‘Lateness Of Dancers’, was one of 2014’s most under the radar gems: “an Americana record of immense spiritual and musical grace”, It was also MC Taylor’s first for fabled North Carolina indie label, Merge Records. Clearly wanting to make the most of their new signee (known to his folks as Mike), next week they’re releasing the gorgeous ‘Southern Grammar’ EP: with the version of the title track (originally on ‘Lateness Of Dancers’)  taken from a session for the Philadelphia radio station WXPN, while ‘Brother, Do You Know The Road?’ and ‘He Wrote The Book’ were both orphan songs.

Hopefully this is the beginning of your foray into…
