More bluegrass and politics

Ralph Stanley isn’t the only bluegrass artist supporting Democratic candidates this year. A group of local musicians who call themselves The Perriello Pickers have released a song in support of Tom Perriello who is running for Congress in Virginia’s fifth district against Rep. Virgil Goode. Quite a tune. Enjoy!
