Thanks for posting! I really dig the Whitman quote in the background, because when I think of the voice of Jim James, Whitman's line about sounding a "barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world" often comes to mind. Such a beautiful yawp!

His performance on jimmy fallon, with a complete drum line doesn’t eclipse this stripped down version
