Earlier this year, long-time faves Dawes<\/a><\/strong> released their critically-acclaimed album entitled All Your Favorite Bands<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0The album, produced by the gifted\u00a0Dave Rawlings<\/strong>, is yet another in a string of well-wrought and well-rendered albums from the under-appreciated LA band. \u00a0The album and its songs are naturally showing up on lots of Best Music of 2015 lists.<\/p>\n

The title track is alone worth the price of admission. \u00a0Late in September Dawes<\/strong> released the heartwarming track’s official video, and we plum forgot to feature it on these pages. \u00a0No mas. \u00a0Check the video out below, which was directed by Kevin Hayes<\/strong> and features vignettes of Dawes’ musical pals mouthing\/singing-along to the song. \u00a0It’s a heartwarmer (as is the song). \u00a0Watch for Rawlings<\/strong> and Gillian Welch, My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst, The Killer’s Brandon Flowers, \u00a0M. Ward, Blake Mills, Delta Spirit’s Matt Vasquez, Deer Tick’s John McCauley,<\/strong> and John Moreland<\/strong>, among others, finishing off with a cute bunch of school kids singing along.<\/p>\n

About the video, the band’s lead singer-songwriter Taylor Goldsmith<\/strong>\u00a0(one of America’s best) said this about the video: \u00a0“This is really a video made by our friends. All we told everyone is that we wanted some footage of them singing our song. All of their different settings and situations were completely their ideas. We had no idea what to expect. But we really love how it came together and for us, it really seems to suggest the musical family we feel lucky enough to have been a part of over the last six years.”<\/p>\n

Afterwards, watch the band perform an acoustic version of this great song (lyrics at bottom). Sweet harmonies gratis.<\/p>\n
