COVER: Iron Horse -- "New Slang" (The Shins)

 I don't know why, but for the last week I have listened to tons of Hank Williams and Pete Seeger records, along with some other country/folk legends. While listening to these often forgotten classics I stumbled upon one of my favorite covers of recent memory. Iron Horse, a bluegrass band out of Alabama, is known for covering rock bands (i.e. Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Guns N Roses) but with few exceptions do they cover songs as mellow as The Shin's classic "New Slang." After hearing this, my suggestion to Iron Horse: DO MORE INDIE SONGS!
