New music: Abigail Washburn - "Chains"

Abigail Washburn's recent release City of Refuge has taken me completely by surprise.  While the singer/songwriter/banjo virtuoso is not new on the scene, her music elluded me until now.  Her sweet, pure voice has a warmth as if carried by a summer breeze.  The songs that comprise City of Refuge mix traditional folk and string music with indie folk-pop.  The album features appearances from members of The Decemberists, Old Crow Medicine Show and My Morning Jacket.  I think you'll be hearing more from Abigail Washburn.  Check out "Chains" below...

This song is decidedly excellent. I saw Abigail with the Sparrow Quartet at Bonnaroo a few years ago and subsequently grabbed that album, but I haven't kept up with her since. Really like this song though; it's a good reason to go back to her.
