Colin Meloy -Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) - live at Newport Folk Festival July 2013

Colin Meloy Live In Concert: Newport Folk Festival 2013, recorded live on Saturday, July 27 in Newport, R.I.
After announcing that his band would take a long-term hiatus, The Decemberists' frontman focuses on writing, child-rearing and performing solo. Watch members of The Decemberists - at the festival as Black Prairie - and Laura Veirs join Meloy on a version of "Yankee Bayonet".
After a long flurry of activity culminating in the release of The Decemberists' 2011 album The King Is Dead, frontman Colin Meloy announced his long-running, best-selling band would take a lengthy hiatus. Several of the remaining group members began to focus on the side project Black Prairie - which is also playing this year's Newport Folk Festival - while Meloy has focused on writing, child-rearing and performing solo. Even before putting his band on hold, Meloy had released a live solo album and the self-explanatorily titled EPs Colin Meloy Sings Shirley Collins, Colin Meloy Sings Sam Cooke and Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey.

Laura's voice is so great, and the pairing of her with Colin was genius. More, I say! More!
