The clouds move over Pontiac skies
Their silent thunder matches mine
I know this feeling from long ago
I wondered was it gone, but now I know

So when she calls, don't send her my way
When it hurts, you'll know it's the right thing

''Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands where I could see 'em
It took the words right out my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now,
Without you
Without you''

It's unannounced like you'd expect it
I'm on broke down brake lines and mo-town records
And all that's left is a blind reflection
But you know what's coming and you regret it

So when she calls, don't send her my way
When it hurts most it's the right thing

''Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands where I could see 'em
It took the words right out my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now,
Without you
Without you''

''Michigan's in the rear-view now
Keep your hands where I could see 'em
It took the words right out my mouth
When you knew that I would need 'em
What am I supposed to do now,
Without you
Without you''

Just what I was thinking as the first few notes played, which is what brought me here to see who they were. 
these guys sound young and somewhat unrefined.  looking forward to hearing future work after they have suffered a bit and are willing to expose more of themselves.

Saw these guys warming up Over The Rhine at the Old Towne School of Folk Music almost one year ago. They are very good, very talented, very charismatic. I highly recommend their two online albums.

The best part of the concert was when both groups did an encore and turned off all the electronics and sang a great seasonal song live, no amps. Serious volume, serious harmonies. You cannot go wrong liking these guys.
 

I also saw them as the opening act for Over the Rhine in Seattle.  Great group, very funny and love their music.

Isnt this the song the guy was playing in Animal House when somebody smashed his guitar in protest?
TERRIFIC and TALENTED live performers!  Glad to hear Milk Carton Kids here on RP (though I have other favorites by them).

Also, they give away their albums for free at their website (at least they used to... haven't checked recently)!
Beautiful harmonies, sweet guitar. Like.
