Prior to hearing this live take on the Replacements’ classic Pleased to Meet Me closing track, I couldn’t have imagined Ben Bridwell’s honey-coated voice taking on Paul Westerberg’s wonderfully craggy vocals, but now I can’t unhear how well they both hit you in the gut on the high notes. Performing as an almost-acoustic trio at Columbus, Ohio’s CD101 Big Room, watch Band of Horses kill “Can’t Hardly Wait” above (via Sun on the Sand).
Also, you’ll want to stream their new album, Infinite Arms, in its entirety here (if you haven’t already).
