I saw The Felice Brothers live a few months ago, and they owned the stage. From the first song, they were raucous, loose and charismatic as all hell. I read a description online that put them somewhere between Dylan and Old Crow Medicine Show. I'd say throw in a liberal amount of The Band and you're getting there. If they didn't burn up the stage, those references wouldn't matter. But they do.
This video of "Frankie's Gun" is a perfect example. You can tell the crowd is going nuts, the band is as confident as can be, and the drummer, Simone Felice, gets so worked up he can't help himself but get up off his stool and just beat the shit out of his cymbals. I wish I had that much fun at work. These guys are touring like crazy, so if you like this, go check them out: thefelicebrothers.com
And here's the studio version from their album The Felice Brothers, which came out last March.
