My baby don’t mess around, Because she loves me so, And this I know fo shooo..

OK. I have a new hero. His name is Mat Weddle from the band Obadiah Parker.
Granola as they freaking come. He brings the junk on a solo acoustic cover of Andre 3000’s “Hey Ya”. His voice is silk, and his beard is thick. And yea. The song becomes one of the best acoustic covers of a hip hop song ever when he hits “Shake it, Sh Sh Sh Shake it like a Polaroid Picture”. There has to be a way to mix this into a Sandals service. No. Probably Not. I might just have to take one for the team. So get my back.
What did you think?

    Pure genius!!! – There is a cover by Ray LaMontagne(one of my new favs) of Crazy by Gnarles Barkley. The cover is amazing!!! He actually puts feeling and emotion into the song unlike Gnarls. Nothin’ better than soul from a white boy from Main…

    Wow, that was amazing– at first I thought it was Samuel Beam from Iron & Wine– because they sound similar and both have Grizzly Adams going on. Beautiful. Have you seen the Peanuts Christmas Special version?

    I remember when Rick Dees used to do that on Kiis FM. I thought it was the funniest thing. This guy is good too.

    I have to agree, I caught myself thinking I like this better and then questioning myself as being granola?
