So, now we know where Jason Mraz’s straw fedora went. Here’s the latest song and video from the Philadelphia folk-pop trio Good Old War, whose third album Come Back As Rain, is set to be released next week. The song’s called “Calling Me Names”, and with its sunny acoustic picking, ooh-la-la-la back-up vocals, and a chorus you’ll be singing along with before the second verse starts – callin’- callin’- callin’ me na-ee-ay-ames – this song has classic, summer car-radio hit written all over it. Add a hipstamatic video of the band singing the song in a classic car, in the summer – head out the window, birds singing in the trees, tapping the beat on the roof, running out of gas, getting out and pushing the damn thing into the glorious summer sunset because you ran out of gas…
The band’s also offering a free download of another song from the album called “It Hurts Every Time“.
