The Low Anthem - "To Ohio" , from the acclaimed album 'Oh My God, Charlie Darwin' , released on Nonesuch, in Spring 2009.

Rolling Stone says the music on Charlie Darwin feels homemade and solemnly beautiful, and NPR Music called the song To Ohio a tender stunner in choosing it as a Song of the Day, saying, At times languid and haunting, but with detours into Tom Waits-esque stomping and hollering, The Low Anthems music seems equally informed by Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, The Band and a late-night ride home in Joni Mitchells car.

Oh My God, Charlie Darwin was co-produced by The Low Anthem and Jesse Lauter. The band, Lauter, and several good friends went to Block Island, RI, for ten cold days in January 2008. They brought recording equipment along on the ferry ride and made the album by woodstove in an empty summer cabin. Among the 27 instruments on the record are zither, pump organ, Tibetan singing bowl, and an oil drum. The Low Anthem pays homage to two heroes with the records only cover, a one-take rendition of Home Ill Never Be, with words by Jack Kerouac and music by Tom Waits.

    Beautiful, haunting song. Reminds me of home (Ohio) and the innocence I often feel like I left behind since running from Ohio, and now not being able to quite make it back due to the pressures of trying to make a living in this sad brown world. If my book Road Trippn' (also inspired by Kerouac, innocence and the pines of Ohio) ever got made into a movie, I can imagine this song playing after John McParadise and Thomas make their broken way back to Ohio after the car wreck in Arkansas.

    I just heard this band for the first time the other day. They are very awesome. And I know people say this all the time but they have a really unique sound, just like my favorite band Sun Country. I mean, they don't sound the same but the unique sound part haha
