Check out this version with audio clean-up: • The Castellows Full Sh...
The Castellows are what we ALL need MORE of today! Talented, fun, energetic, young ladies with a great 7-song EP A Little Goes a Long Way and more great unreleased tracks on the way, like at this show.
The music of these singer-songwriter sisters Lillian (Lily), Eleanor (Ellie) and Powell Balkcom covers the range from quiet and thoughtful (In God's Time, Miss America - both unreleased) to upbeat, sing-along catchy numbers (No. 7 Road, A Little Goes a Long Way, The Part Where You Break My Heart). Their cover songs show their diverse musical roots spanning The Beatles to The Boss to The Chicks in concert, to Levon Helm's Hurricane on the EP.
Their love and respect for each other is evident and openly expressed in the show. Kudos to Mr. and Mrs. Balkcom for 'home-school' raising such ambitious, poised and professional gals aged 18 to 20 or so (with Ellie and Powell being 2 of three triplets). The gals should be role models for others on what hard work can achieve. The gals' unreleased song in this set Miss America has these lyrics:
"But I miss America, on the front porch, before she ever had to lock her doors, and she was still outspoken. Back before her heart got broken. I miss America, bare feet in the dirt, John 3:16, wasn't scared to work and they all dreamed of her. She's mine and I still love her. But I miss America."
Definitely these gals are not scared to work (e.g., see Ellie rounding up cattle to get to market when she says prices are up in Instagram). BTW I've put the chords and lyrics the Miss America on Ultimate Guitar tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/... ... plus I played a bit of it at the Cleveland Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the next day (see video • The Castellows - Miss ... - truly inspirational music).
I made the the "Wanted poster" shown at the end :) I know my fandom is a little too much but as the ladies have been singing 'a little goes a long way'. Enjoy!!!
PS - I say full show but I do miss out part of a couple songs having my battery die and switching phones. Check out my recording in Cleveland the next day - • The Castellows Clevela... - it is the whole show though they swapped in unreleased Sheltered for Miss America and skipped I'm on Fire.
