Cactus Garden video
Here is a cute video from Reed KD from his new album, In Case The Comet Comes. Reed is a young singer-songwriter from California with folk and bluegrass influences in his pop-oriented music.
The video is for the song Cactus Garden, and it’s a clever visualization of the story with puppets playing the instruments and singing the song. I mean a puppet farmer playing the banjo and a pair of puppet rabbits tag-teaming a fiddle… how could you go wrong?
You can hear the rest of the tracks at CD Baby or in iTunes.Reed has a number of photos on his blog of he and his family creating the puppets and constructing the set. That is clearly a very creative bunch of folks.
