"When front man [J. Roddy] Walston kicks out his piano bench, it’s a reminder of the beautiful recklessness of rock and roll." – Examiner
 
Kicking back in the Charleston, South Carolina backyard of Shovels & Rope’s Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, J. Roddy, Trent and Hearst collaborated on a cozy recreation of “Boys Can Never Tell”, a track from J. Roddy Walston & The Business’s latest album Essential Tremors.
 
"I thought I understood the song that I had written, but watching them twist and turn and bend it to their will made me question if I even understood English," Rod said. Watch + share the video footage of the collaboration via Rolling Stone HERE.
