The Cactus Blossoms | Full Episode | The Lowertown Line
Ойын-сауық
The brothers behind Minneapolis band The Cactus Blossoms have a knack for writing songs that harken back to another era of folk- and country-inspired music. Small towns on the prairie. Wistful love affairs. Toil and trouble. In their own words, “That's when the wheel got going and gave the illusion of spinning backwards. We weren't born in the wrong era. We just got into some music from a different era and found a way to make it our own.”

Love this band and all the nuggets I've been finding that aren't recorded or hard to find such as Crazy Arms. Recently discovered This Boy as well, their passion for music is clear as day. Thanks for the awesome upload.
I love this Band, the sound atmosphere is amazing!
Haunting Beautiful! What a Compliment for many to say Modern Day Everly Brothers! I hope They can embrace that.
Beautiful harmonies
Now that is music!!
Love this band and the way the do it! Just playing the Music. Rock on! Greetings from Sweden
I love these guys!! I haven’t been this excited about a “new” band in ages. They’re just SO good!!
These fellows are the real deal.
What a band this is a real gem and not too many have heard of them wonderful easy listening songs
Very glad I can still find this here! (I'm a Minneapolis native and big fan of these guys). The interviews and performances are solid.
I love this!!!😍
First heard these brothers on Prairie Home Companion 💜
I give $100+ to PBS every year because I value their programming. It’s good for people. I will continue to give $100 every year if they promise to stop pulling this performance from KZread. This rendition of Adios Maria is just absolutely gorgeous.

Our goal is that this lives here as long as we exist!
Whatever you are raising money for - for me that starts at 16:50, and then you save my life at 18:09. I'm happy to donate. Thanks for having a positive impact on my life.
I was confused because this looks so much like their performance on Twin Peaks.
Just discovered these guys! AWESOME!!! Do they write all there own songs?
*uck Yeah !!!!!
I’d like to hear a little less Everly Brothers and more edgy. You guys are great.

@Cebehatz: Everly Brothers works for me!! If the Cactus Blossoms were looking to be the next Everly Brothers, they’d be doing “Bye Bye Love” or “Let It Be Me” and they’re not. They just happen to harmonize really, really well.
