Joe Purdy: The Goldfish Song (Rio Grand)
This is Joe Purdy my favorite musician playing one of my favorite songs.
You can stream all his 11 or so albums at www.joepurdy.com. He's fully self produced and has turned down contracts with 3 or 4 major record labels so he can produce the purest music of his own devising.
