Uncle Earl "Streak O' Lean, Streak O' Fat"

The All Earl Weekend continues on the blog.

How ironic that at one of our favorite festivals, Rhythm & Roots, one of the bands on the bill is Uncle Earl.

I went looking for a good Uncle Earl tune, and happened upon what is perhaps the most bizarre video I've seen in a long time.

It's a bluegrass jam, sung in Mandarin, featuring a Kung Fu movie/Western show down, with an Appalachian dance-off. And, for good measure, there's John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin on the piano!
