Album DescriptionAvailable in:
“Best Medicine” is the second full length studio album from Pennsylvania folk trio The Stray Birds, released October 21, 2014 on the Yep Roc Records label.
All but two of the twelve songs here were written by either de Vitry or Craven.
The album’s title track, “Best Medicine,” was inspired by a trip to Schenectady, New York, a town with a lively record store amidst countless abandoned storefronts. This juxtaposition, along with the fascinating life story of the record shop’s proprietor, led de Vitry to pen the lyrics, “You never know the gold you can find out there ‘Til you put the needle down and do some digging in the air…if the body is a temple, the soul is a bell/ And that’s why music is the best medicine I sell.”
