6-5-11 - "Born With A Broken Heart" ~ The David Wax Museum

If my last name was Wax, my band name would probably be this.  These guys (& gal) opened for Josh Ritter tonight at Hartwood Acres, and believe you me, it was worth every penny.  Ok, so it was free, but still, I'm quite glad to have been there.  David Wax Museum brings a fusion of Mexican folk stylings and Americana that's pretty entertaining.  This particular one isn't so much Mexican as just plain fun, but if you listen to a few others you'll catch that feel.  They even feature the quijada (donkey's jawbone) on several songs:

And now for the song itself:

"There are men who will stand accused,

but they won't be told the why

they were strong, so were beaten down

but the sun look gold through blackened eyes..."
