What a pair! Dave's voice is the sexiest instrument being played. Thile's mandolin can't resist that high mountain voice. It's like Dave's voice is the reincarnation of the mandolin. Those two are so intense, it's like nuclear hillbilly energy.

How have I gone so long without hearing about these guys. This is better than any country music that has been on the charts for the last 9 years, ESPECIALLY the last 5 years.

Christopher "Midas" Thile, turning everything he touches into gold, as usual. And seriously, have you ever heard anyone with as unique a voice—and as much of a throwback voice—as Michael Daves? This stuff is just terrific.

Of all the post nickle creek work Chris has done.i like this stuff the best sometimes less is more.

I can't listen to this without kicking up my heels! This is too damn hot! :-) I'm dancing around more that Chris Thile.

Thile's hip shaking brings me great joy. That and the unbridled awesomeness of this duo.

I'm going to Nashville next week to see these amazing men! OMG

Just saw you guys like 2 hours ago!!! Got a picture and everything ! Great Night! For Sure!

It cracks me up that Michael's playing an old True-Tone guitar worth maybe $150 while Chris is playing a Lloyd Loar mandolin worth $150, 000. But they're both such great players and great musicians they could both make anything sound good.

Just listened to the NPR Tiny Desk Concert and had to come here so I could listen to more!! I'm off to get the album...Awesome!!

[BardofCornwall]

Very seldom do I yell out loud when watching youtube, but this got a "whoop" out of me--just top notch!

[coreymeuchel]

Oh yeah, I'll see you boys in Knoxville on May 18th!!! Can't wait for the album to "drop"!!

[crowebroke]

As good as it gets. I feel very excited about this.

[TheZacek]

hopefuly, there will be another one :-)

[MrStitches]

I love it so much..  can't decide if this is meant to be a parody of or an homage to Del McCoury. Excellent sound either way.

[DweeD]

No I think they were just communicating through the music and making sure they were harmonizing each others voices.

[benniets]

are they just using that main microphone to amplify the instruments?
