The Stray Birds’ “Best Medicine” Airs On CMT Edge

THE STRAY BIRDS PREMIERE “BEST MEDICINE” VIDEO ON CMT EDGE

ACCLAIMED TRIO’S SECOND FULL-LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM
BEST MEDICINE OUT OCTOBER 21 ON YEP ROC RECORDS

26-CITY FALL TOUR KICKS OFF OCTOBER 3

Today, CMT Edge premiered the video for “Best Medicine,” the title track from The Stray Birds second full-length album set for October 21 release on Yep Roc Records.

The album follows the band’s 2012 highly praised self-titled release, which NPR Music named as one of the Top 10 Folk/Americana albums. Co-produced by the band and Stuart Martin, the album features 12 tracks, including 10 original compositions and two traditional songs, “Pallet” and “Who’s Gonna Shoe.”

Of their AmericanaFest showcase last week, Elmore magazine wrote: “Yep Roc trio The Stray Birds remain a cut above competing trios. The female lead singer, Maya di Vitry, has a really commanding voice when needed, but backs off to blend perfectly into the intricate harmonies of her two male bandmates, both of whom also sing lead. The band performed a few covers, including Townes Van Zandt’s “Loretta,” bluegrass style, but their own songs stood up to the test, notably “Harlem,” an homage to New York, and a love song to a record store owner, “Best Medicine,” which brought me to tears, and should become Record Store Day’s national anthem.”
